noticing whether the hair is we'll kept
TO judge Of q wOman's noatness, or
good taste. II you are one Of the few
who try TO make the most Of your hair.
remember that 10 is not advisable TO
wash the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrOx from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful
i'm cup Of hot water. This makes a
full cup OF shampoo liquid, enough so
it is easy to apply It to all the hair in
stead OF just the top Of the head.
Dandruff, excess oil, aand dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair win be so fluffy that It Will look
much heavier than Il f.. Its lustre and
sOftness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.

Fifty years ago, when she was

forth no comment. Such oper-
ations were then carried on as
"a matter of routine on every

so handled. but fax was raised,
bleached, scutched, heckled,
pulled, spun and woven into
cloth for home uses. Modern
factories have destroyed this
household industry. but the po

spread woven by grandmother,
or her mother, reminds many a
home circle of the simpler life
of the nation. The utmost rig

The government has made the

expected and fixe'i the price of
beans for army and navy use.

the immense imports from Man
