And there are many men and women still enjoying the pleasure Of living who probably would have died of Bright's Disease had it not been for the medicine made according to the booos for mula by the Hobo Medicine Company of Shreveport, La. Some of the cases treated, details of which are matters or record under oath had been pronounced as hope less If you are interested ill the story and also in learning of wonderfully ef- fective way of treating Brght's disease and other bladder and kidney diseases, you ought to write to the Hobo Medicine con- pany and ask them to send you free copy of their little booklet. It tells about the man who was condemned to death. And how he didn't die The hobo saved him
 right out there in the woods. The incident created considerable excitement ill the neighborhood at the time. Write for the bOoklet-it's thrilling.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HEE HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well 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 it is not advis-
abs to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good shampoo. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some Canthrox from your druggist
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
wafer. 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. Dan
drufE 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 It's luster
and ssoftness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth
