WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use makeshift. but is always advis-
able to use a preparation made for
shampooinS only. Many of our friends
say that they get the best results from
a simple home made CanthroX mix
trre. You can use this at cost OF
about cents shampoo by getting
some Canthrox from your druggist
and dissolving teaspoonful in cup
of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the sair
instead of Just the top of the head- a
with most preparations. Dfndruif,
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear in the rinsing water.

look much heavier than it is. Its lus-
ter and softness will also delight YOU

POTATO BLACK HEART
due TO ovERHEAT|NG

Washington, March 10.-Shippers OF
potatoes who place stoves in the cars 10
prevent freezing are warned by the
United States Department OF Agrlcui-
ture that overheating will rum pota-
toes. Several carloads have recently
been inspected which showed the con-
dition known as black heart" rms IS
an internal blackening of the potato,
caused by temporary overheating or by
prolonged lack of ventilation at lower
temperatures.
The center Of the potato Is Jet black,
quite moist, and flabby. The discolora-
ton may occur as a ring in the center
Of the tuber. enclosing gray or black
area. In advanced cases, the tubers
show hollow. black bordered cavities in
the center. The discoloration progress
es outward and whenever it reaches the
outside a rapid decay sets in.
Black heart is produced when pota-
toes are heated to 80 degrees to 104 de-
grees b. for a few hours. or stored at
lower temperatures in piles deeper than
six feet without ventilat ton from the
sides or bottom. Temperatures of 80
to 104 degrees F. are not infrequent in
cars that are started out during very
cold weather, fired. and then delayed in
transit or unloading until unseasonably
warm weather sets in suddenly or that
pass from zone of very cold weather
into one of warm weather. Overhead
ing or lack of ventilation in cellars are
equally effective in bringing about
black heart.
Affected tubers are unfit for human
food. An affected consignment is not
marketable and can not be stored with
out risk of rapid decay.

First they We're ten cents. Then the
war, the profiteers and other agencies
got together and boosted them to IL.
Still. they hald sort of aesthetic ap-
peal, for they came done up in en-
bossed tinfoil. Sales. apparently, did
not fall off. So the burly money
grabbers who manufacture them put
their heads and their hands together
and said. why not boost them
again? The public will fall for most
anything now. We can blame it all
on the war. And another thing; that
tinfoil is too valuable. Let's just
wrap them up in white paper before
putting them into the boxes. We
can make another bit that way"
SO they boosted them to 10 cents. |
