TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class Of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do
actresses, and no class must be
more careful to retain, and de-
velOp their charms. Inquiry de-
velops the information that in
hair care they find it dangerous
to shampoo with any makeshift
hair cleanser. The majority say
that to have the best hair wash
land scalp stimulator at a cost of
about three cents, one need only
get package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a tea
spoonful in cup of hot water
and your shampoo is ready. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to
apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. After
its use the hair dries rapidly,
with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are quickly
dissolved and entirely disappear
when you rinse the hair. After
this your hair will be so fluffy
that 1t will look much heavier
than 1t is. Its lustre and soft
ness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.

$4,000 TROOPS
COMING TO Lake

100000. Since then the size Of
the army division has been ex-
banded to $4,000.
On the basis of Gen. Bells es-
innate the expenditures for the
two divisions of $4,000 men, in
GLIDING increased pay to enlisted
men, would be somewhere near
$500, 900 a month.
When the troops begin to pile
into American lake cantonment in
the late summer, people living in
the vicinity will have cause to re-
joice or to grieve in proportion to
their appreciation of music.
In the elaborate plans of the
war department for recreational
features of the 32 training camps,
of which American lake Is one,
two recreations bulk large. One
Is baseball and the other is sing
ing.
Not to Scare Fritz.
Baseball on the Steilacoom
plains in autumn never has been
found delightful, hence singing
promises to be the big thing.
Plans are matuced for provid-
ing singing director for each
cantonment, and all who can get
by with so much as barber shop
harmony will have a chance to
exercise. The general staff has
no idea that the Germans can be
paralyzed by singing at them; the
whole purpose is to increase con-
tentment in cantonment. Sweet,
not fearsome noises, are to be en-
couraged.
From Pittsburg comes the word
that the popular air there Is
There's a Little Bit of Bad in
Every Good Little Girl" and such
other popular airs of a year or so
ago that lend themselves to mas
culine singing.
That American lake will pro-
duce something more distinctive is
the hope OF the director of recrea-
tons, according to reports from
Washington.

But not so at the American am
munition transport training camp.
The usual American appetites for
breakfast are very much In evil
dence. Therefore, the French
army regulations had to be alter
ed to fit.
The French officers also dis
covered that the usual emergency
ration would have to be changed
in the case of the Americans. The
French soldier carries one solitary
loaf Of bread for his reserve food
supply when starting out on active
service.
IT didn't look like enough to
the Americans. The supply was
therefore increased to include, in
addition, two hard boiled eggs.
