HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR.

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge of a woman's neatnesS, or
good taste. If you are one Of the few
who try to make the most of your hair,
remember that it is not advisable to
wash the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always u5e some
good shampoo. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox
from your druggist, dissolve tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup of shampo liquid,
enough so It Is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just the top OF the
head. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. It's
luSter and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

lily living between Huntoon and Thirteenth
streets on Topeka avenue are responsible
for the story The senior members of the
family were sitting on the porch enjoying
the cool evening and waiting for the young
people to return from a party. The clock
struck twelve and the family concluded to
retire, when an exclamation from one of
the women drew all eyes to the street.

south on the paved street until 1t reached
point directly in front Of the house. Then
it stopped and gazed steadily at the occu-
pants Of the porch for several minutes
Then it turned and walked south on To-

Nothing more was heard of the ghost I'M

to sell them to municipalities at re-
duced prices SO that they may be
placed on the market at a figure be-
low the present market quotation
Payment does not need to be made
until ten days after receipt of the
goods SO the city would have a chance
to get them sold and the money on
hand to pay for them without going
to any expense.
Mayor Corwine wrote Wednesday to
the surplus supply officer at Omaha
asking for information on the subject

This will be the fourth meeting of
the two champions. altho the first
since Mike annexed the title by
knocking out AL Mccoy. Jack won a
referees decision in a twelve round go
at Boston in 1915. They fought two
ten round no-decision contests the
next year, one in St Paul and the
other in Brooklyn.
By knocking out O'Dowd, Britton
could win the middIeweight cham
pionship, but Mike could not recipro-
cate because Mike could not fight at
the welterweight limit. O'Dowd will
begin training at once, but Britton will
rest a few days because Of his recent
encounter with Ted Lewis.
