RFlIhFlE kiIRG0 or FAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about, US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we arc very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An especial
ly fine shampoo for this weather, one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair, that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt, can easily be used ut trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful Of canthrox (Which you can
get ut any druggist's), in a cup OF hot
water. This makes full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so it Is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead OF
lust the top OF the head. This chemical
~ dissolves all impurities and creates
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves
the scalp spotlcssly clean, soft and
plant, while the hair takes on the
glossy richness OF natural color, also a
iluffiness which makes 1t seem much
heavier than it is. After canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair is
pleasure.-Adr.

The play Of three acts served to re-
introduce Miss Mabel Taliaferro to
Broadway. and II 10 quite within the
truth to state that very many persons
seemed pleased to renew acquaintance

the end there will be a dicerence of opin-
ion as to what erased the piece from

insinuate the delicacies OF her fun maxi

coarsely fabricated. or whether the star
herself was unfairly handicapped by the
Stiffness OF the story, Ia Of little conse-
quence, perhaps.
Maybe indeed things are possible In
California that could not possibly occur
in less favored parts of the Union. This
must be so. or Los Angeles, Hollywood

surely It strains credulity to assume
that an impecunious young woman hus-
band hunting and stalking the heir to
$40, 900, 900, could pass of as her uncle
a very fragrant specimen Of Hebrew
money lender: that she could deceive
even California society people" with
this very obvious Israelite. Still, they
