TODAYS AID TO BEAUTY.

Hair is by far the most Conspicu-
Gus thing about us and Is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, We will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair; that dis
solves and entirely removes all dam
druff, excess oil and dirt: can easily
be used at trifling expense by sim
ply disolving a teaspoonful of can
throX (Which you can get at any
druggist's) in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
so it is easy to ap-
ply 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 fluffiness which makes
it seem much heavier than it is.
After canthroN shampoo, arranging
the hair is a pleasure.-Adv.

attack on the government as a whole,
and everyone connected with IL indi-

said this money was used for buying
food for their wives and children, and
not for fighting. Disappointment was
