Camp Meade.
Private Sharkey then set 4 T. NJ to-
day for the ceremony. The bride arrived
to-day without marriage license. The
camp rules demand license before a

army officers Jumbled the situation a
little more by ordering Private Sharkey
to camp further South aboard a tram
due TO leave here at . 80 p. NJ
That's where Secretary Flynn's speed

which he sought to give his best
with warmest sympathy, cordially
and sincerely yours.

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY

You can enjoy delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
trifling cost, If you get from your drug
gist's a package Of Canthrox and dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water, This makes full cup OF sham
poo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead OF just the top
of the head, Your shampoo is now
ready. Just pour little at time on
the scalp and hair until both are en-
tirely covered by the daintily per-
fumed preparation that thoroughly dis
solves and removes every bit OF dand-
ruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing
the hair dries quickly with fluffiness
that makes it seem heavier than it is,
and takes ON rich luster and a soft
ness that makes arranging it pleasure,
