TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently il it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a 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 Can
throx, which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup of hot water. This
makes 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 it's ac-
ton, as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the 1ather
SO created, you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff.
while the hair dries quickly and even
ly, developing a bright luster. and a
soft fluffiness that makes it seem very

FEW FOLKS
HAVE GRAY
HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says
everybody is using old-time
recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades. turns gray. dull and
lfeless. is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men
who value that even color. that beauti-
full dark shade of hair which is SO at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this thru
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights lie ladies
with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that. besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applica-
tons. it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.

pound is a delightful toilet requisite

EAT WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN
Restaurant Patrons Will Not Be AL
lowed To Supply Own Bread.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 29.-Patrons of
eating houses cannot carry their own
bread to supplement restaurant meals,
but must be content with the two
ounce limit for Victory bread or four
ounces of quick breads when no Vic
tory bread is eaten, it has been ruled
by Federal Food Administrator Innes.
Restaurants must not serve customers
who bring in extra bread, according to
the rules.
The question came up when the
manager of the Good Eats cafe of this
city reported that a bread hog" en-
tered the restaurant carrying a loaf of
bread under his arm.
Hotels will be penalized II they
fail to live up to the general orders"
said Mr.. Innes. Now is time to
save as we have never saved before.
Every time our victorious troops adj
vance on the soil of Belgium, France
and Serbia, the number of hungry
people who must be fed by us is in
creased. Instead of relaxing, we must
become more strict in food saving"
New eating house regulations have
been mailed to all eating houses in
Kansas and should arrive in every
town by today. Additional copies have
been mailed to county administrators
to provide for any eating houses which
may have been missed.

NO FLU AT G. 0. P.
Headquarters Workers
Assure Public of Health Bill.

There is no influenza at Republican
state central committee headquarters
in the Central National Bank building.
Workers today were willing to swear
there is none. They were willing to
go even farther, if possible. to make
it known that a flu germ that would
have the temerity to stick his nose into
the offices would have no more chance
of living than a Democrat has of be-
ing elected at the polls next Tuesday.
AS the result of a story published
some time ago in which H. H. Motter
was quoted as saying that Clyde Reid
had symptoms of the epidemic, it is
asserted many workers have stayed
away from the headquarters and that
the campaign has been handicapped
to a large extent. Mrs. Frank Organ,
who had planned to assist in the cam
paign, made her first appearance in
the hall outside of Motter's Office to-
day and said that she had stayed away
because she was afraid she would be
exposed to the epidemic in the offices.
Reid has not been in the headquar-
ters' offices, since his illness was re-
ported, it was said today, and workers
asserted they did not know whether or
not he really had the disease.
Frank Grimes gave out a statement
today that there has been no influenza
in the Offices and that there will be
none as long as his supply of onions
lasts

ANOTHER ATTACK IS DUE

Washington, Oct. 29.-Directing
their congressional campaign from the
floor of the senate, Republicans today
prepared for another attack on Presi-
dent Wilson Thursday when the senate
meets again. They forced abandon
ment of the plan to recess until No
vember II, their avowed purpose be-
ing to keep congress in Washington SO
that any Democratic political moves
may be discussed.
There is no thought of transa citing
any but political business between now
and next Tuesday, when the election
occurs.
The session Thursday is to be given
over to speeches of Senator Watson,
Indiana, and other Republicans. with
whatever Democratic replies they
may begin Thursday. unless Republi-
cans decide to keep the senate meeting
until the end of the week.
Discussion of the Hughes aircraft
report Is expected. Senator Watson
asked late Monday during the debate
senate military affairs committee
could tell him what had become of
the report. Senator Smith, Georgia,
the only member present. said he
knew only that the report had been
submitted to Attorney General Greg
cry. Watson wanted to know, he said
later. whether the report is being held
up until after the election.
a number of Republican senators
have cancelled speaking engagements
in order to be on hand when the SEN
ate reconvenes. If any effort is made
to force a recess before the Republi-
cans want it, they will raise the point
OF no quorum, which would prevent
adoption of recess resolution. 1t was
the threat of this action which forced
house and senate leaders to forego
their plan to recess Monday or today,
