"If the German people are look

fact that since the beginning of

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently IL 1t Is
entirely and properly cleansed
each time by the use of really
good shampoo. The easiest to use
and quickest drying shampoo that
we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the nat
ural beauty of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonful OF can
throx, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup of hot wa
ter. This makes a full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so 1t is
easy to apply 1t to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
This when rubbed into the scalp
and onto every strand of hair.
chemically dissolves all impurities.
1t is very soothing and cooling in
its action, as well as beneficial to
both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will
find the scalp is fresh, clean and
free from dandruff. while the hair
dries quickly and evenly, develop
ing a bright luster and soft fluff
fitness that makes 1t seem very
heavy.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2:

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 90.
Determined % force some action

which the federal trade commits

cry large city, Representative Fess
(Ohio) today informed Rep. Mey-
er London he will introduce a res
olution providing at least temper
airy food control.
London, explaining that he be-
lieves congress should Immediate
ly enact a permanent government
food control law, announced ne
would support such a measure as
absolutely necessary to get over
the present emergency.
Such a resolution will have the
support of Representative Bor-
land, who announced he would
press his provision appropriating
100000 for a federal trade COM
mission investigation of the food
shortage by lacking an amend
ment on the sundry civil bill when
it reaches the house floor.
In the meantime, the federal
trade commission, the interstate
commerce commission, the depart
ment of agriculture and the COM
merce department have been call
ed in to aid in affording some kind
of temporary relief.
Discussing the situation today,
Representative London bitterly as
sailed food spectators as the chief
cause.
IL call on the house to take up
the food control question now"
London said. 1--WE are giving hun

The Folly OF Taking
Digestive Pills
A Warning to Dyspeptics.

The habit of taking digestive
pills after meals makes chronic
dyspeptics of many thousands of
men and women because artificial
digestents, drugs and medicines
have practically no influence upon
the excessively acid condition OF
the stomach contents which is the
cause of most forms of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
The after dinner pill merely
lessons the sensitiveness of the
stomach nerves and thus gives a
false sense of freedom from pain.
II those who are subject to indi-
gestion, gas, flatulence, belching,
bloating, heartburn, etc. after eat
ing would get about an ounce of
pure bisurated magnesia from
their druggist and take teaspoon
full in a little water after meals,
there would be no further neces-
sity for drugs or medicines be-
cause bisurated magnesia instant
ly neutralizes stomach acidity.
stops food fermentation and thus
insures normal, painless digestion
by enabling the stomach to do Ito
work without hindrance.

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug
store man, Give me a quarter
of an ounce OF freezone. This
will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or
soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether
compound applied directly upon
tender. aching corn should re-
lieve the soreness instantly. and
soon the entire corn, root and all,
dries up and can be lifted out
with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet
of corns was introduced by q Gin
cinnati man, who says that. while
freezone is sticky, 1t dries in q
moment, and simply shrivels up
the corn without inflaming OF
even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin.

tion or lockjaw from whiting at
