TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t Is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently If It 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 natural beauty of the hair
and may be enjoyed at very little ex-
pense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthrox, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid. enough so 1t is easy to apply
IT to all the hair instead of lust the
top of the head. This when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair. chemically dissoives all i'm
purities. II Is very soothing and cool
Ing in its action, as we'll 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 quick :
ly and evenly. developing bright
luster and soft fiufyiness that makes
1t sem very heavy.-Adv.

old man Hensley was shot in the back
and that the bullet went through his
body in straight line. The Hensleys
insist that the old man was working
on fence and took no part in the
affair.
1t appears that the old trouble about

his two sons took part in the pistol
duel and rock battle that followed
