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 makeAhift, but is always ad-
visable to use preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade Canthroz
mixture. You can use this at a cost
of about cents a shampoo by get
ting some Cantbrox from your drug
gist and dissolving a teaspoonful in
cup of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head, as with most preparations

fluffy that it will look much heavier

LESS RUBBER FOOTWEAR
Fifty-Fivc Hundred Styles Eliminated
To Aid Conservation.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Fifty-five
hundred styles of rubber footwear
have been eliminated for the duration
of the war. and remaining types are
restricted, the war industries board
announced last night.
1t is estimated the conservation will
save among other things 29,o12.s0o
cartons, 5.2A5,300 square feet of lum-
Der, 1.526.493 square feet of storage
and shipping space. 1o,742.517 pounds

that may be devoted to more essential
purposes.
In affecting these economies, mems
hip boots and sporting boots will be
restricted to one grade only, and there
will be none for women, youths and
boys, nor will there be any knee boots.

account of the large number Of teach
ers going to washington. d. c.. in the
employ of the government. the teach
ing force is still short a number OF In
teachers committee of the school
board are working to fill the vacan
cles as rapidly as possible.
No More Absence Leave.
The board has thought OF a new
plan to keep their teachers to their
contracts. The plan has been, here
tofore, to grant all a years leave of
absence, where it was asked. in order
that the teachers might be excused
from duty to assist the government.
However, the exodus of teachers be-
came alarmingly large. and it has
been found necessary to insist that
they remain in service, inasmuch as
the cierkships many Of them have
taken could be filled by women OF less
education and women who have no
training to fit them to fill the teach
ers' places in the schools. Hence, the
plan hereafter, according to the school
authorities, will be to refuse a leave
of absence and require a resignation
from those who leave. This will mean
that all the time that the teacher mas
put in on the teaching force will be
lost from the roll of prospective pen
sioners
When a teacher who has resigned
returns to take teaching job, she
begins her service anew and sees her
pension still as far in the offing as
when she started. Stout declares that
it is the opinion of all educators that
the patriotic duty of the teachers is
at home on the job, preparing the
young mind for It's future tasks.
Topeka schools will strike a blow at
the Hun "kultur." by eliminating the
study of the German language as fast
as possible. In the high school. the
advance classes will be continued, in
order that the students who have be-
gun the study of the language may
finish in that department and receive
the credits they have already begun to
earn. But beginning classes will not
be organized.

Be Careful in Using

The Hair-Destroying
Curling Iron Passes

The heated iron makes the hair dry
and parched looking. burns off the ends,
giving a most untidy appearance. You
who have learned this from sad expert
ence will be glad to hear of a very simple
method which Is open to none of the OBJ
jections referred to and which gives better
results than the curling iron.
Just get few ounces of plain liquid
silmerine at your druggists and apply a
little to the hair at night with a clean
tooth brush, drawing this down one strand
at a time from root to tip. In the morn
ing your hair will be as beautifully wavy
and curly as though Mother Nature did
1t, and It will be quite manageable, no
matter what style of couture you adopt.
The effect will last much longer than if
you used a waving iron, and the health
at your hair will not suffer. As silmerine
is not sticky or greasy 1t is quite pleasant
to use.-AdY.
