Sculptor E.ekieps birthplace.

To tho Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--In going about Richmond have
noticed number OF houses marked
as the birthplace or residence Of patri-
otto and useful citizens. but ! saw no
notice of the kind on the dwelling
at the southeast corner Of Marshall
and Twelfth Streets. where the Eculp-
tor, Ezekiel. lived as boy and whore
am pretty sure he was born. This
artist reflected great credit on his. city
and state, and any honors we can
render him should not be omitted.

ToDATs BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary, to shampoo
your hair so frequently II It Is en-.
tirely and properly cIeansed each time
by the use of a really good shampoo.
The easiest to use and quickest dry
ing shampoo is one that bring out
all the natural beauty OF the hair
and may be enjoyed at very little
expense, by dissolvinE a teaspoonful
OF canthrox, which can be obtained
from any druggist. in q cup OF hot
water. This makes a full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough SO It is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead Of
just the top of the head. This when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand OF hair chemically dissolves
all impurities. 1t is very soothing
and cooling in Its action, as well as
beneficial to both scalp and hair.
After rinsing out the lather so ere
ated. you will md the scalp is fresh,
clean and free from dandrufr, while
the hair dries quickly and evenly, de.
veloping a bright lustre and a soft
hufIlness that makes it seem very
