TRAIN YOUR HAIR As AN

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses and no

The mo jority say that to have the
best hair wash and scalp stimulator
at a cost Of about three cents. one
need only get package Of canthrox
from your druggist; dissolve n tea
spoonful in cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply it to

II some Of the criticisms and sug-

business houses and homes In the last
four years are repeated. the first as

of these, many times, but Mr.. Bur-

do not read the kennebec Journal

out administrative incompetence and
its abuses OF the public.
One Of the most common COM
plants, all over the country. is that
daily newspapers going through the
mails in single wrappers, arrive in
bundles Of three to half dozen. This
would seem to be pretty good evil
dence that posta! employees have been
infected with departmental contempt
for newspapers.
Another daily complaint is of the
shameful inadequacy Of rural delivery

by the nt-saving and bunghole
