T0DAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very careful
in hair washing, we will have virtually
no hair troubles. An especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair, that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandrutf, excess oil and
dirt, can easily be used at trifing ex-
pense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox (Which you can
get at any druggist's) in a cup Of
hot water. This makes full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead Of
just =" tcp of the head. This chemi-
call4 dissolves all impurities and Gre
ates soothing, cooling lather Rims
ing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and plant, while the hair takes
on the glossy richness of natural
color, also a huffiness which makes
it seem much heavier than it is. After
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is Observation-Disclosures.

ENDRES NOT ABLE
TO SLEEP NIGHTS
Burglar Alarm System at Court
House is Out of Order-No
Deposit Vault.
ASKS AID OF THE COUNCIL

Treasurer Endres told the city
council committee of the whole that
he would not be able to sleep peace
fully if the city and school district
securities, amounting to approximate
ly $2,000,000, were kept in the court
house vaults.
Mr.. Endres' mission before the city
commissioners was to secure approval
of bill for 500, being the yearly rent
for a strong box in a downtown safe
deposit vault. This deposit box was
used by former treasurers and the
necessity of its use was considered
adversely by the city council in 1915
and again in 1916,
Burglar Alarm Broken.
"Thc burglar alarm system at the
court house has not been in operation
for six months" explained the treas
urer, when asked why the new ST ,OO0,-
600 court house does not afford suf-
hcient protection for the securities of
the four branches Of city and county
government served by him.
How much cash do you carry over
night in your vault in the court
house?" was asked the treasurer. ~
Between $4,000 and $8,000," he re-
piled.
"I wouldn't sleep if had that much
cash around, according to conditions
you describe" rejoined one of the city
commissioners.
The county and water district Sc
curities are protected in another
downtown safe deposit box.
Another city commissioner re-
marked that it was rather strange
that the burglar alarm system at the
new court house. was not in operation,
after thousands of dollars had been
expended for its installation.
In order that Treasurer Endres
may enjoy undisturbed sleep the city
officials will stand the expense of the
outside strong box, although the gen.
eral opinion was that the court house
should provide ample protection for
these documents, which are not ne
gotiable.

Pinaples Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, blotches and
other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist Can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 2sc; an extra
large bottle, $l00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless) and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it III. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle
Of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and it leaves the scalp soft and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every men,

Keep Uric Acid
Out of Joints
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid thar
to cure, states well-known authority
We are advised to dress warmly
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; cat
less meat, but drink plenty Of good
watet.
Rheumatism is direct result OF
eating no much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which
is absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function OF the kidneys to filter this
acid 4o4l 'hc blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work; they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in a glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus riddIng the blood
of thsse impurities.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thou,ands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have a
pleasant, effervescent lithia water
drink which helps overcome uric acid
and is beneficial to your kidneys as
well.-Advertisement.
