a SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of n really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that We can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense, by
dissolving a teaspoonful of Canthrox,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist's. in a 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 to 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 &C
ton, as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair After rinsing out the lather
so created. you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff,
while the hair dries quickly and evenly,
developing a bright luster and soft
fluffiness that makes it seem very
heavy.-Adv.

German.Austrian Council To
Get at Facts.
Negotiate With CZechS To Pub.
Iish Documents.


Berlin, Nov. 27.-The German-Aus-
trian national council is negotiating
with the Hungarian and Czech govern
ments for the purpose of securing their
cooperation in the publication of dip
lomatic pre-war documents and in an
investigation into the Responsibility for
and conduct of the war, the Vienna
correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung
reports. Recent revelations have been
made, he says, to the effect that for
mer Emperor Charles had secretly
drawn 100000 crowns on the army
account, while charges involving Arch
duke Frederick and other high officers
in connection with army contracts also
are to be looked into.
The diplomatic investigation will be
directed chiefly against Count Berch-
told, who was Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister when the war broke out,
and Count Czernin. later the occupant
of that portfolio, the latter being ac-
cused of summarily rejecting alleged
American peace proposals in the fall
of 1917 and at the beginning Of the
present year.
The statement made in the'Bavarian
disclosures to the effect that the late
Count Tizsa. then Hungarian premier,
was opposed to the hostile tone of the
Austro-H Hungarian ultimatum to Ser
bia, is said to conform with the facts.
Count Stuergkh. the Austrian premier
on the other hand. is represented as
having proceeded in the manner of a
ruthless dictator

To Have Wavy Hair
Like Natures Own

Here's a brand new recipe, of unques-
toned merit that l advise you to make
note Of unless you are of the few
posscssors of naturally wavy hair. 1t $
very simple. for all you need do is to ap-
ply little liquid silmerine, at night
with a clean tooth brush-and in the
morning you will find this has dried in
the sweetest curls and waves lima ginable.
They will be just like Natures own. hav-
ing no resemblance to the effect produced
by hot iron, which is so obviously ar
tificial.
The application is really beneficial to
the hair and gives it that lively lustre so
much desired. As it is easy to obtain
a few ounces of the liquid silmerine from
your druggist-sufficient to keep the hair
curly for many weeks-theres no reason
now for putting up with either that
straight, contrary hair or with the curl
ing iron nuisance.-Marie Demarest in
