U. S. NOT INTERESTED BY NOTE
Kaiser's Reply to Vatican Arouses Only
Curiosity.

Washington, Sept. 17-The Teuton
powers reported reply to the Vatican
peace proposal aroused only curiosity
here. Inasmuch as vague forecasts of
it gave no hope of fulfillment of Presi-
dent Wilson's demands for elimination
of kaiserism, authorities here showed
little interest.
The single possibility it offers is that
it will create new peace discussion
interfering with Americas war work
and perhaps inspire the Pope to fur
Their proffers. That the United States
will stand pat on it's declarations to the
Pope is certain; and the Allies will be
with her.

TODAY's AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and is prob
ably the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. IL we
are very careful In hair washing,
we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine sham
poo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair, that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissoly-
ing a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which you can get at any drug
gist) in cup of hot water. This
makes full cup Of shampoo
liquid, enough so 1t is easy to APP
ply Ii to all the hair instead of
just the top OF the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness OF natural color, also a
fluffiness which makes 1t seem
much heavier than II is. After a
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair Is a pleasure.

effectively as a monkey wrench in the ma
chnery, for the practical reason that if the county
were to go on with its work and the coal land
owners were to bring suit to set aside its find
ings and the court were to decire as it seeming
ly'' would, Pierce county would be stuck for the
state levy on whatever amount of increase the
board of equalization might decide on which is
too much money to risk.
And the beauty of the thing is that the
county was acting on decision of the supreme
court in another case that real estate must be
listed and equalized by the county and state
boards "each year!''
And the only point really at issue is whether
coal lands in Pierce county have been taxed a
million and half dollars too low or not
But seemingly" the people Of Pierce county
have been effectively prevented, for this year at
least, from finding that out.
So the system goes grinding on.
