RELIABLE METHOD OF HAIR CARE

Hair Is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If We arc very
careful in hair washing. we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all tho
natural beauty Of the hair. that dis.
solves and entirely removes all
dahdruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at irilling expense
By simply dissOlvfng 4 teaspoonful
of can;hroX (Which YOU can get at
any druggists) in Il cup Of hot
water. This makes 4 full cup of
shampoo liquid. enough SO il is
easy to apply it to all the hair in.
stead of just the top Of the head.
This chemically dissolves all i'm
uuririps and creates 4 soothing,
cooling lathcr. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotlcSsly clean. soft and
pIianf. while the hair takes on the
glossy richness Of natural color,
also nutliness which makes II
seem much heavier than it is. After
a canthro1 shampoo. arranging the
hair is Il pleasure.

I'm doing fine and hope you all are
the same. I have been to the firing

and saw some of the Germans shells
burst, they bursted close around us
sbut did not hurt anybody, but they
sure give it to the Germans they are
capturing them every day by large
quantities. / do not think this war
will last much longer for I think the
Germans are about whipped now [
guess we will go to the firing lines
soon again; our work is not so danger
Gus we go behind and build roads to

soon. Just got eight letters the other

INTERESTING LETTERS FROM {
: OUR SOLDIER BOYS IN FRANCE.
STATE FAIR WILL:
NOT Be HELD.

, Definite announcement was made
last night that no State fair will be
held this year.
In giving final decision in the mat
ter it was emphasized by D. F. Efird,
secretary of the State Fair Associa-
ton, that three different phases Of
unfavorable circumstances had 20 be
considered. ...'s
The firsa was general 'demoraliza-
ton, incident to the prevalence Of
Spanish Influenza, which caused in
definite postponemento Of the fair sew
eral weeks ago, the original dates for
the annual event being October %,
November 1, inclusive.
Another was the congested condf-
ton ofsthe railroads, which precluded
the possibility of assembling the e1-
hibits with any degree of satisfaction.
The third and equally convincing
reason for annulrnent Of the plan for
a fair this year was the general unrest
of the people on account of the war
and pressing shortage Of labor.
