Movie Actresses and
Their Hair

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love
~ hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact. many are leading ladies just be-
cause OF their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discioses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
poong, not with any soap or make
shift. but with a simple mixture by
putting a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which you can get from the drusgist)
in a cup Of hot water and applying
this instead Of soap. This full cup OF
shampoo liquid is enough so 1t Is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead OF
just the top of the head. After its
use. the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff. excess Oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. The hair Is so fluffy that It
looks much heavier than it Is. its lus-

Support of Fans Urged
for Independents' Games

Preparations towards Sundays
game with Eaton will be made by
Engles Reserves at a practice that is
to be held in the South Tenth street
park, Tuesday evening. Captain
Sheridan is anxious to stow away a
game on the win side and all mem
bers Of the squad are urged to be
present.
Richmond fans have never in the
past given Independent football team
support, and have caused nearly all
the games to be played away from
here. Portland, with population
about one fifth that Of Richmond, has
an attendance Of about 1000 at every
home game Of the Portland team.
Backed by this patronage, Portland
has one OF the best teams in Indiana
and can Oxford to pay the players good
salaries for their services.
Those playing on the Reserves dc
so for the love Of the game and dc
not receive any recompense. For this
reason games with Pine Village, Ham

cient history. For 10 straight frames
Bob shot true to the mark-not once
was there q doubt as to whether it
should have been q strike. On his
eleventh ball the Fates played their
part, when in some way Bob struck
his ankle in rolling, only getting 5
pins His 18th ball got the remaining
5, giving him a total OF 2S5- 1t was
tough, Bob-you must know that We
were all tor you
Hun" wasn't the only star OF the
evening-Walter Bennett also stepped
into the front ranks with an average
Of 212 for games, his high score for
the evening being 25S, and the Hor-
Arthur King kicked in for an average
Of 207 for games
Bennett also gave a burlesque on
bowling, when in his 9th game he piled
up a score Of 100. Walter, Walter-if
we didn't know that you are capable
Of better things we would actually be
ashamed Of you
This man Huffman is practically a
new man on the Richmond alleys
nevertheless a man Of "Hun's" type
can't stay new long. We asked him
last night where he was from and he
led US over to one corner and whisper
ed one lone word-Peoria- We haven't
decided yet whether that was meant
as confession or a boast.
Ray Slade had a pretty game start
ed, when he succeeded in getting
straight strikes, but broke 1t up in the
seventh frame when he only got pins
and then proceeded to blow the other
one.
All told the games rolled last night
we're mighty good and John (Count)
Gengler, the Chicago wizard might vel
begin to consider Richmond's bowlers
as possible contenders for some Of his
fame.
! OF course, a large degree Of the
credit goes to Old Faithful Father
Ryan, who is always on hand with {
smile and word Of encouragement

last night. We wonder what conspir
acy is under way now. Lefty Glazie1

pins with regularity last evening. KeeI

CATARRH DOES HARM
Whether It Is Of the Nose, Throat, o,
Other Organs, Get Rid Of It.

Catarrh Of the nose or throat when
1t becomes chronic weakens the dell.
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to consump-
ton. 1t tmpairs the taste, smell and
hearing, and affects the voice. 1t is a
constitutional disease and requires a
constitutional remedy.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by
purifying the blood removes the cause
of the disease and gives permanent
relief. This Alternative and tonic. med.
icine has proved entirely satisfactory
to thousands Of families in three gen.
erations.
II there is billiousness or constipa-
ton. take Hoods Pills,-they are a
