RELIABLE METHOD
OF HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspfcu-
Gus thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment II we are very
careful in hair washing. we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
teaspoonful Of Canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggists), 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 in
stead Of just the top of the head.
This chemically dissolves all impuri-
ties and creates soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spot
lessly clean. soft and plant, while
the hair takes on the glossy richness
of natural color, also a fluffiness
which makes it seem much heavier
than it is. After Canthrox shampoo,
arranging the hair is a pleasure

GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel 6aekachy
or have Bladder trouble
Salts fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
1ieve them like you relieve your
towels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
In the back or sick headache. dizzi-
ness. your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinses. The
urine is cloudy. full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass OF water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive: harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases. ADV

Delaware county women whose names

been addressed by the county food ad-
ministrator, In an effort to ascertain
whether their failure was due to lack
OF information as to the aims of the
government in organizing the food
clubs. or whether it represents DELHI
crate disloyalty.
In case it is ascertained that sigma
lures to the food cards were due to a
lack of knowledge or understanding
the woman will be informed and ask
ed aagin to sign; where she refuses
knowingly, the food administrator will
report the name to the County Council
OF Defense which will take such legal
steps as are possible to enforce a
strict conformity with the federal re-
situations, and incidentally make pub
lie the names and addresses Of all who
decline to cooperate voluntarily.
