1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense by dissolving teaspoon
full of canthrox which can be obtained
from any druggist. in cup Of hot water.
This makes q full cup OF shampoo
liquid enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of Just to
the top OF the head. This when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand Of hair chemically dissolves all
impurities. 1t is very soothing and
cooling in its action as well as beneficial
to both scalp and hair After rinsing
out the iather 30 created you will find
the scalp il fresh, clean and free fIom
dandruif while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing a bright luster
and soft fluffiness that makes il

A HOSPITALS GET 100000.
United Hospital Fund Makes An.
nuaI Distribution.

The United Hospital Fund distributed
yesterday 100000 to forty -four hoo.
pitfalls in New York city. This Is $50, 900
more than the amount distributed last
year. which was $4,000 in excess of the
previous year. 1t is also the largest sum
ever distributed by the fund since II was
organized forty years ago to further a
unified constructive treatment of the
city's hospital problem. The officers OF
the fund believe. however. that the hos
pitfalls OF the city need still greater help.
because hospital costs have risen rapidly
with little prospect OF decrease.
The allotment to the united hospitals
was made under the direction of the dis
tributing committee of the United Hos
pitt Fund without regard to race or
creed. The committee consists of Mayor
John +. Hylan, chairman; Alfred f.
Marling. president of the Chamber of
Commerce; william Fellowes Morgan
president of the Merchants Association
Otto T. Barnard. Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr. ;
Arthur Curtiss James and James Speyer.
They met at noon in the reception room
opposite the Mayors Office in the City
Hall.
The basis on which the fund Is distrib-
uted is the number OF days OF free hos
pital treatment given by each institution
during the last year as shown by audited
statements The quality for the indi-
vldual hospital management also is taken
into consideration.
