TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK

You can enjoy delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
trifling cost, if you get from your
druggist a package of canthroX and
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water, This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough SO it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. Your sham
poo is now ready. Just pour little
at a time on the scalp and hair until
both are entirely covered by the dain-
tily perfumed preparation that thoroly
dissolves and removes every bit of
dandruff, excess oil and dirt After
,rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with a
fluffiness that makes it seem heavier
than it is, and takes on rich luster
and a softness that makes arranging
it a pleasure.

YES! MAGIcALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, dries up and can be
lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone
is sticky, it dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns.
but clip this out and make him try it.

GET THE WAR SPIRIT
Kansas Spanish War Veterans Will
Organize Cavalry.

The breaking off of diplomatic re-
lations with Germany has aroused the
veterans of the Spanish-American war
They are laying plans to organize a
squadron of cavalry among the citi-
zens of the state, similar to the re-
Gently formed Military League" of
Oklahoma. The proposition is in the
hands of the United Spa nish War Vet
Grams of Kansas.
The idea was suggested by ]. w.
Kelso, editor of the Dodge City Jour
nal, who is an eX-soldier. These
troops, according to Kelso's plans will
be raised but will not be affiliated
with the government troops in any
way nor controlled by government of
ficers unless there should be a call to
arms. The command will be differed
by veterans of the Spanish-American
war and the troops will be made up
of men who have already been under
fire.
The plans will be placed before the
Kansas organization for consideration
soon. The veterans have already re-
ceived notice from the -Oklanoma
league that they would support such
plan and would help the proposition
in any way they could.
