most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment If we are very careful
in hair washing, we will have vir-
tualIy no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather, one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair, that dissolves and entire
ly removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt, can easily be used at trifling ex-
pense by simply dissolving teaspoon
full of canthrox (Which you can get at
any druggist's), in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it
to all the hair instead of just the top
of the head. This chemically dissolves
all impurities and creates a soothing.
cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotleSsly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also a fluff

heavier than it is. After canthrox

and Praises Kansas Farmer.

cept an invitation to speak before the
South Carolina Cotton association. In

advance prices.
The letter which Governor Allen
sent to the southern cotton growers
was filled with loud praise of the pa
triotic, loyal and public spirited Kan
sas farmers who increase their acre

anxious to maintain prices by reduc-
ing acreage. In a severe criticism of
the efforts of the producers to capital

incidents which show how easily men.
