Why Society Women
Wash Their Own Hair.

They do, not because it is a fad.
put because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are o using anythin.
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise TO
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made
FOR shampooing only. Many of u
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade Canthrox
mixture. You can use this at q cost
of about three cents a shampoo by
getting some CanthroX from vour
druggist and dissolving a teaspoon
full in a sup of hot water. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to ap-
ply TO all the hair instead of lust
the top of the head, as with most
preparations. Dandruh. excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water. Your
hair Will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. Its
luster and s%oftness will also delight
you. Adv.

With 1t. He had always been generous with his praise of her dresses and things like that But it was preposter- ous to think of him knowing anything about poetry. It was altogether out of his line. He was good automobile salesman, drew good salary, and was a very fine young man. She had been a trifle nasty in becoming angry at him and not allowing him to call just because he had criticized her work. It was much nicer to be an engaged girl than not to be. That was not fair to Jack It had been Jack she loved; ; she hadn't just been in love with being engaged as some of her girl friends were. If she didn't win the prize money, she wouldn't have chance to travel and what chance had girl to find distinguished husband ina town like that. Distinguished huSbandsswere very often unkind to their wives, even if their wives were highly intelligent Perhaps she wasn't a genius. Her friends had just said that to f1atter her. If Jack was right about her verse then he was the only true friend she had. She got a copy of her verse to make sure After reading 1t over she saw that Jack had been right. The verse wasn't even sensible, the way she saw 1t now. Why hadn't she taken his advice? Of course she couldn't win the prize, she knew that without waiting to see the result announced. The disappointment proved too much. She buried her head In a cushion and wept.

 "Oh, Jack, am so glad you have come !" she exclaimed, as she almost threw her arms about his neck. You were right about my verse. It was wretched. 1 haven't a chance for the prize Will you forgive me?"
 "I am here in search of your for giveness," he answered. "I am sure you would have won the prize if 1t hadn't been for me, dear" ...
 "I couldn't have" she interrupted. "My verse was terrible. I see 1t now. Perhaps If I had taken your advice l  what we could have done with five hundred dollars Won't the winner be happy?"
 He Is very happy" Jack smiled.
 Do you know who has won it?" she asked, eagerly.
 He could hold it no longer. With shaking fingers he took check from his pocket and held 1t up for her startled gaze.
 Jack" she gasped, as she realized what it meant. You have won the contest! I thought you couldn't write verse How wonderful of you! You are a genius"
 "No: I'm just lucky, and happy, dear" he laughed, gayly. Just think how cozy this five hundred will make us"

PADLOCKS ARE IN DEMAND
High Prices Paid for Crops Encourage Farmers to Take Measures. to
 Protect Them.

Business in builders hardware con tinueS very light, save in cheap rim and mOrtise locks and trim. These are in moderate demand for the medium priced dwellings and cheap ware houses that are being built in the agricultural districts. There Is cyl dently a good deal of repair work be- ing done, as Is evidenced by the large sale of door bolts and similar shelf hardware.
 There Is a large demand for pad locks, especially in the rural districts, because crops are not only plentiful but high priced, and, consequently, are worth being made secure against. those who pick and steal, says New York Times. The sales of the numerous small articles of brass. such as screws, wire hooks and eyes, and shoe nails, have fallen to very small proportions, as the demand has shifted to similar articles in polished steel.
 The demand for stoves and stove Sundries is very heavy, and is being stimulated by the report that the as- sOrtment of stoves will be cut to about i One-third of it's present size by next winter. Sales of strap and ''T' hinges, as well as barn door hangers, indicate some activity in building barns and storehouses for the coming crop. There Is veritable famine In axes and ax handles. because the government is practically taking the entire output. of both lines. The different styles. shapes and finishes of axes used to indicate the varying tastes and fancies of the wooC chopper. Now anything in the "hane of an ax handle "gOes" With them.
