H. Wanted to Warm Up, You Know

Martin West, a 15-year-old colored
boy, was before Recorder E. M. Britt
Friday on the charge of trespass. The
evidence was that Mr.. E. B. Paul of
the Saddletree section hired West to
work for him. The negro boy was
given a room in Mr.. Paul's residence
to sleep in. There was no chimney
or heater in the room, so West made
him a fire right down on the floor
and went to sleep and left it burn
ing. The fire burned a large hole
through the floor and went out of
it's own accord. The negro testified
that he made the fire to go to bed
by. It looks much like case Of su-
icidal intent. Judgment was sus-
rended upon payment of cost.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair. while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact. many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attra ctive locks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact that
they bring out all the natural beauty
of their hair by careful shampooing,
not with any soap or makeshlft, but
with a SIMPLE mixture by putting d
teaspoonfuls of canthrox (Which they
get from the druggist) in 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 uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair is so
fluffy that it looks much heavier than
it is, while its lustre and softness is
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
