HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is we'll kept
to Judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember that il is not advisable
to wash the hair with any cleanser
made for all purposes, but always use
some good preparation made expressly
for shampooing. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful
in 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.
Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.

Grandmother's Botanic Medicine.

In every pioneer home the botanic
recipes of our grandmothers for the
treatment of disease were wonderful

note that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-

remedy for female ills We have. was
originally prepared for home use from
one of these botanic recipes, and the
demand for this famous medicine has

any woman who suffers from female

And the Famous Men and Women who

Russell.

March 27-OswaId Yorke and Annie
Russell.
1t was thirteen years ago when Annie
Russell was playing in Mice and Men
that she made up her mind to be mar
ried. and 1t was because of a series of
, floods, that followed the spring fresh
cts in many parts of the Western
States that March, that the wedding
took place somewhat sooner than Miss
Russell had intended to have it. Be
cause of the floods 1t was impossible
to continue the tour with her company
that she had planned so there was a
week to spare. And in that week Miss
! Russell was married.
Annie Russell, who began her career
in Montreal at the age of I. was mar
ried first when she was still in her teens.
Her husband was Eugene w. Presbry,
an artist. This mating did not turn
out to be conductive to happiness and
It eliminated in a divorce which was
granted two years before the second
marriage.
Her second husband, Oswald York.

in Mice and Men" Apparently the
stage love making was genuine and IA
miliarity did not breed contempt. For
several months it was rumored that an
engagement existed; and when finally
Miss Russell denied that a previous en-
, gagement had been arranged. 1t was
only to announce that the wedding
I would take place some time in the
spring. Then came the floods and

and her leading man took the first

Sunday. March 81. and were married
before the day was over. Arrange
ments for the wedding were made
meantime by friends in New York who
were in their confidence.
Miss Russell was married at in the
afternoon, her guests for the occasion
being about thirty relatives of her own
and of Mr.. Yorke.
