Today's Aid to Beauty.

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
GUS thing about us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
car eless treatmen If we are very
careful in hair washing. we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An es-
pecially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty OF the hair. that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandrur, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trtfiing expense by simply dissolving a
teaspoonful OF canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggtsts) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid. enough so II IL easy to
apply 1t to all the hair instead Of Just
the top OF the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rtnsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean. soft
and plant. while the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color, also
a fuff1ness which makes 1t seem much
heavier than 1t is. After canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair ts a
pleasure.--Adv.

The efforts of the Poe Memorial
association to preserve the old Poe

have gone far TO disprovc the nccu-

Of lace at the windows for curtains.
For Amy there was the lovely pi.-
ture from the Sunday newspaper which
she had admired. Bob had remember
ed and had made Il frame for it out
of strips of wood, and on the wood
he had glued tiny pine cones, pieces of
birch bark and dried moss, and as the
picture was n woodland scene you can
Imagine how pretty 1T was. Bob had
found chair rung, which he scraped
and polished with some OIL and turpen-
tine. He put some screweyes in the
ends, and Amy gave him piece or
narrow red ribbon to make loops-And.
behold, there was q necktie holder for
Elmer! For his mother he whitfield q
reel for her clothes lines, and 1t was
wonderfully handy thing, and for his
father he bought pipe. 1t happened
this way: He did some errands for the
man who kept the tobacco store in the
village and when the man would have
paid him some money Bob said he'd
, rather have pipe. So now they were
all provided for except little Peter.
How was Bob going to get hold Of n
real live puppy?
'You go over to my brothers place
at the foot Of Long hill, and you tell
him l sent you," said the tobacco man.
Maybe he will let you have n puppy
and work it out for him on Saturdays.
He has paper route"
"I'll do 1t IF he WILL" cried Bob
eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried
into the woOdshcd with wriggling
little puppy under his coat. or course
he had to tell his mother about that.
And how Bob did enjoy the secret, run
ming to and fro with milk and scraps
Of meat for the puppy!
When Christmas morning dawned
think Bob Stillwell was the most sur

interested in watching the pleasure Of

any man Generosity OF Judgment
was in his every utterance. He never
mistook a peccadillo for vice. nor
did he judge that lamentable
momentary lapse from accepted
moral standards was an indi-
cation Of the total depravity of the
offender or q guarantee of his per-
sistent wickedness. 1t was In him
to give men a chance, like Balaus-
tons Hercules:
He had too many grandnesses in his
To note the many mean things in
his path.
He, marching with his face turned
toward the sun,
STOPPED not to pluck the weeds or
ask their name.
This Is not meant to say that he
was a latitudinarian. His moral
sense was high, his character was
beyond reproach. For those swept
off their feet in the stress Of some
but where sin was persistent, where
vice had become ingrained. where
there were low ideals or even the
lack Of ideals at all; where the wolf
wore sleeps clothing, where I'M
righteousness masqueraded as right
eousness. where the shepherd proved
robber and the friend pirate,
there the anger Of his gentlemanly
and amiable soul revealed to those
who knew him how terrible and how
just the wrath of the lamb may be.
In Bunyan's greatest allegory he
brings christian and his friends to
the delectable mountains where are
found shepherds feeding their flocks.
There are four Of them in all. and
their names are knowledge, expert
ence, watchfulness and sincere.
These four names characterize DR..
Salter in all his pastoral relations.
He had attained through diligent
study that wide knowledge without
which no one of us is completely
fitted to act as public religious
teacher in any community. Life,
with all it brings Of veal and woe
had depend and enriched his heart,
but beyond this he had gone forward
to profound and lasting experience
knowledge and this experience pre-
over the oral and spiritual lives of
those committed to his care. And
his lessons regarding truth, and
righteousness and justice and mercy,
all these were the more weighty be-
cause those who knew him were con-
vinced that there was in him the
utmost sincerity.
Therefore his own people loved
him, therefore his community rever-
ed him, therefore his city honored
him; and therefore it Is that this
attractive building, erected by the
Congregational people Of this state
for the moral and religious welfare
of their children, bears the name of

She had scarcely any appetite and

She grew SO nervous that the tick

hardly had enough energy to drag her

Tanlac relieved her troubles"

lac is doing all over the state of Iowa.

Tanlac is a preparation made from

designed to relieve stomach, kidney
