TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
develops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser
The majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at
cost of about three cents. one nes
only get a package of canthrox froA1
your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonfu1
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are quickly dis
solved and entirely disappear when
you rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.

PROMINENT IN SOCIETY
Negro Check Artists Located Thru
Item in Colored Publication

c. C. Mitchell and wife, negroes,
who put over some good sized bogus
checks in Topeka last summer, are un-
der arrest at Detroit.
The other day Joe Holman, deputy
sheriff, read an interesting item in the
society column" of negro paper
published in Chicago. He read:
Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Mitchell, of
Alberta, Canada, will spend the winter
in Chicago. Mr.. Mitchell is a wealthy
Canadian real estate man."
Holman had the bunch it was the
Mitchell he has been looking for and
letters were written to the Chicago
police. Today a reply was received
stating that the Mitchells were also
wanted in Chicago for bogus checks
and that they were under arrest at
Detroit. There isn't much likelihood
that Shawnee county will be able to
get hold of them for months to come.
Chicago has first claim after Detroit
gets thru with the couple.

He WAS ALL "LlT UP''
When Officer Went After Drunk,
However, He Blew Out His Lights.

Robert Miller deputy sheriff spent
long hours in the middle of the night
Wednesday night, searching the brush
and weeds in poverty hollow west of
town, looking for a drunken negro
armed with a shot gun and lantern
Had the negro, John Brown by name,
continued to carry the lantern Miler's
job would have been easy but he
threw that away or blew it out, early
in his fligh'.
1t was after midnight when Miller
was called by telephone. There was a
woman's voice at the other end of the
wire.
Hes got a loaded shot gun and a
lantern" she said. HE threatened TO
kill me. He's out somewhere in the
brush now and I'm afraid he'll come
full of holes"
After numerous questions Miller
learned who he" was and where the
shack was located. He found a scared
negro woman huddled in house
about the size of the safe in the sher-
ifs office. Somewhere out in the
weeds and brush, she said, her hus-
band was hiding out with the shot
gun.
Miller made a long search in the
dark and could tell by the swish of
the weeds that he was near the negro
several times. But he did not find
him. not Wednesday night. This
morning he went back out and found
his man. The negro was arrested anu
placed in the county Jail, then his wife
refused to sign a complaint against
him.
Hes nah onliest suppote," she
said.
But county officers will swear to
the complaint and a warrant will be
