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 stimulator
at a cost of about three cents, one
need only get a package of canthrox
from your druggist; dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water and
your shampoo 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. Dan
druff, excess oil and dirt are quickly
dissolved 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
softness will delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.

Life Insurance Companies Had
~ Bad Year in Kansas.
Influenza Responsible for Big
"a Amounts Paid Out.
HEALTH COMPANIES SUFFERED
They Paid Back Almost Half of
~ What They Collected.
Company Issuing a Fly Wheel
g. Policy Had No Loss.

Influenza hit life insurance COM
panies a hard jolt in Kansas last year.
In the final three months of the year
the period of 1918 when the disease
was prevalent-the death rte among
policy holders caused the losses to run
million and a half dollars above the
] 1es for the previo4s year. The fact
the- many of the claims will be in
cluded in the 1919 report, means some
of the joy has been removed from the
Nfe insurance game.
While the fire insurance companies
we're apparently developing their reven-
pes and profits in Kansas. the life COM
panies were compelled to meet the
hcaviest losses in a rumber of years.
Total losses paid by life companies in
this state last year were S4,037.253 as
against S2.520, 652 for 1917. Premiums
collected last year amounted to $10,-
e73,91S as against SO, ,226,692 for 1917.
Profits Cut Down.
: Altho there is a margin of S6,936.-
665 between the premiums and losses
for last year, that figure does not rep
resent profit to the comp lies. The
pulk of this money must be put away
Yor the retirement OF endowment poll
etes and for the payment of the heavy
losses when the younger policy holders
near the age of expectancy. Nor does
the $4,037,253 paid in losses cover any
-of-the expense items of the life COM
paaies for securing and handling the
business in Kansas.
Life companies wrote more policies
for less money in 1913 than in 1917.
The record for last year shows that
103, ,329 new life insurance policies
:. ere written in the state for which
the companies received S71,S89,5 in
premiums. In 1917 life companies
wrote 9S,772 new policies for which
they received $74.SO7,677. A total of
AS9.745 life insurance policies were in
force at the end of 1918 as against
459.1S3 at the close of the 1917 calen-
g.. year.
The Heaviest Losses.
Z In a report of losses of miscellane-
ous insurance and casualty companies,
Frank L. Travis, state superintendent
of Insurance, shows the premiums and
losses of some of the special insur-
ance companies. His report today
shows that accident, health and COM
pencation companies bore the heavy
losses in the state last year.
2 Accident and health companies col
1ect,d $909,585 in premiums and paid
$410,323 in losses. Liability COM
panies sceived S195,190 in premiums
And paid policy holders s66,075. Pre-
1niums collected by workmen's COM

James is now connected with the audi

GOOD BUILDINGS FOR SHEEP
Should 7e Dry, Well Drained, Ven.
tiIated and Furnish Ample Space
for the Flock.

prepared by the United ssates Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
The site Tor permanent buildings for
sheep should first OF all be dry and
well drained. Ample yard space that
Is dry and sheltered should be avail
able adjacent to the main barn or
shed. A southern slope with sandy
soil is especially satisfactory for this
purpose
On most farms 1t will be advan-
tageOus to have the buildings and
yards easily reached from the regular
pastures or from fields used to grow
forage crops for summer pasture. AS
the flock requires attention many times
daily during part of the year, con-
yenience of location In relation TO the
farm dwelling and to other buildings
will effect an economy of time in the
performance of routine labor.
Since sheep do not require quarters
that are especially warm, single wall
will ordinarily. insure sufficient
warmth. If lambs are dropped in very
cold weather, temporary covering
over the lambing panels will provide
warmth, or a small space can be par.
titiOned OF I'm which to keep a few
ewes until their lambs become strong.
Shade and protection from heat are
peculiarly necessary for sheep. Shade
cannot always be furnished In pas
lures, and buildings that are well To-
Gated and constructed SO as to render
them cool in summer will often pro-
vide greater comfort to the sheep dur
ing hot days than would be possible
for them out of doors.
Dryness and freedom from draft are
most important. Sheep cannot pos
sibly thrive in quarters that are damp
or dark. In fact, the flock should be
shut in only during storms. Alum
dance of light in all parts of the
building and at all times isRecessary
not only for the health of the sheep,
but for convenience of the shepherd in
caring for them. One square foot of
window for each 20 sqsare feet of floor
space is necessary. Windows should
be placed at height to insure good
distribution of light, and particularly
direct sunlight for the lambing pens
during the period the ewes are lamb
ing.
Close confinement in poorly ven
tilated pens is very injurious to breed
