MOVIE ACTRESS AND
THE HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair.4 while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive locks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooling, not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting teaspeonful of ranthrox
(Which they get from the druggist) in
a cup of hot water and applying this
instead of soap This full cup of
shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. After its
use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. The hair is so fluffy that it
looks much heavier than ii is, while
its lustre and softness is delightful

WINGED that the lives of thousands of per
sons might be saved, who now die every
year from pneumonia, grippe, consump-

The real and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more nor less
than weakened condition brought on by
lack of iron in the blood
Not long ago man came to me who
was nearly half century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina-
ton for life insurance. l was astonished
to find him with blood pressure of a
boy of 20 and as full of vigor. vim and

man he really was Notwithstanding his

Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living It's
sue. Without it, no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you any good.
You don't get the strength out of it, and
as a consequence you become weak. pale

"FUN ON A FARM"
RUDE Act a Scream at Novelty This
Week.

In the parlors and drawing rooms
we may discuss affectionately the del
ties of art and music, but secretly in
his heart the average vaudeville pa
iron has a lingering allegiance to the
great god Slapstick. Which explains
the hysteria and enthusiasm of the
audience at Fun on a Farm at the
Novelty this week. Several new wrin-
kles in the art of slapstick as yet not
discovered by the Keystone company
were displayed for the ticklement of
the customers. This was the real en-
joyment feature of the evening, GER
tainly to the male contingent THE
Models de Luxe actually had a good
posing act. The average act compels
attention from the average man not
because of its remarkable imitation of
favorite sculptures, but for er-r-r-
oh, other reasons. Their act really
caught some of the breathless quality
of the suspended action of sculpture
and gracefully withal. Frank Bush
as the American story teller gar
nished the occasion with some good
dialect jests Bernivicci brothers gave
some beautiful violin music out of a
novel setting. The Mack Fulton
aerial act was well enough. But see
the Fun on a Farm" for laughter.
