dom in art for children, and indicates an
unlimited range of ideas.

decorative purposes, including symbolic use
of war material and relics. Spontaneous ex-
preston is shown in the difficult medium OF
water colors. In American schools use Of

A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty OF the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of Canthrox,
which can be obtained from any
druggists. in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid. enough SO it is easy to apply
1t to all the hair instead OF just to
the top of the head. This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand Of hair, chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in its action.
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather SO created, you will find the
scalp Is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff. while the hair dries quick

Iluster and soft fluffiness that
