TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
develops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimuIator at a
cost of about three cents, one need
only get a package of Canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are quickly dis
solved and entirely disappear when
you rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and soft
ness will delight you, while the slim
ulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.-Advertise ent.

WIN WAR BY SEPT?
That Is What Canadian Sergeant Tells
Audience at Jetmore.

Jetmore, Kan, March 21.-A large
crowd from all parts of the county
gathered here to hear a talk on the
war by Sergt.-Maj. Ivan Stanislaus,
of the Canadian army. This is the
first opportunity Jetmore has had to
hear a man who has been in the
midst of the great war. Sergeant
Stanislaus is badly wounded, but says
he intends to return to France as soon
as he can use his wounded leg. He
says the atrocities of the Germans
are unspeakable, that they refuse to
fight man to man, but always wage
their most frightful warfare on wom-
en- and children.
These things he has seen and any
man, he says, who has seen them,
couiC not be drawn away from the
trenches until Germany is whipped.
But he expresses a belief that. the
American army will defeat Germany
ty September, 1918. He owes his life,
he says to the American Red Cross.
Doctor Waldron, of Larned, also
spoke and asked for contribution
to the local Red Cross. The amount
received was S13S.

TO HELP EACH OTHER
Farmers Will Cooperate This Season
as They Never Have Before.

CORTLAND, Kan, March 21.-Farm-
ers of this section are planning to do
more cooperative farming this year
than in former years. With the short
age of farm labor and the high price
of machinery they think by several
farmers using the same machine and
changing work. they can get more
out of farming than by hiring I'M
skilled labor. The women, as in for
mer times, are doing their part to-
ward putting in a record breaking
crop.
Short crops in this part of the coun-
try have put the farmer in the sacri-
ficing line. In fact, the average agri-
culturist is reared to be economical,
but if it is necessary to win the war
for him to sacrifice and be more eco
nomical he is going to do it.
