T0DAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary TO shampoo
your hair SO frequently If it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a 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 en-
joyed at very little expense. by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthro1
which can be obtained from any
druggist. in cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
II TO all the hair instead OF Just TO
the top OF the head. This. when
rubbed into the sea lp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically
dissoives all impurities. Ii is very
soothing and cooling in its action.
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created. you will find the
scalp is fresh. clean and free from
dandruf, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing
bright luster and a soft fuffiness
that makes it seem very heavy

RUN The HOUSEHOLD
ON BUDGET SYSTEM
Keep Careful Accounts and Divide
Family income Wisely
Suggestions for vari-
GUS Salaries.

"A budget is absolutely necessary to
| the wise and well-proportioned running
Of household. No budget can be made
to fit all families. even families OF
I similar size, legality, ETC., but the we'll
proportioned budget provides q fair
financial basis, starting point from
which to begin the work OF wisely d.
vidlng the family income.
The main thing Is to get the budg-
ct started. to keep careful accounts
in way that will permit analyzation
OF expenditures-for at least several
months; a year, II possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal and
household, only in way that balances
cash and shows how 1t has been gem
orally expended. A budget should do
better than that.
An exact budget is difficult to pro-
vide at present, with all living prices
in state Of fiux but with prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great
ly In various sections Of the country,
frequently In various sections of the
same state. But in strictly Industrial
centers, 1t has been authenticity com
puted, food usually consumes about ~
per cent of the ordinary income, shell
ter IS per cent, fuel and light per
cent, and the various 'sundries" so
grouped because so difficult Of more
exact classification, 20 per cent. In the
following suggestive budgets for vary
ing incomes the Saving" item has
been placed first as most necessary
where the family income is not too
large and is practically inelastic.
This item may include life insurance,
savings bank accounts and such inev-
table demonstrating governmental Sc
curities absolutely necessary with the
kind of incomes nOted-as Liberty
Bonds aid War Savings Stamps.

the will can be interpreted according to
French law it may be set aside simply
because it disinherits the nearest heirs.
The will has been I'm dispute several
years from various standpoints. Old Mr
Winans, who was rather. eccentric died in
1912. He left only the income from $780,.
600 10 his son Thomas. To his daughter
Beatrice, Princess de Bearn-C -Chalais, he
left trust fund Of $284.O0O, but she died
before her father and he took back the
money. The PRINCE brought suit to OBJ
tain control Of 1t and won.
Mr. Winans also bequeathed 100000 to
Miss Dorothy Bateman, an innkeeper's at.
tractive daughter, of Newport, R. /. The
bulk of the estate he left to a nephew,
Ross W. Whistler.
Young Tom Winans also began q suit
TO break his fathers viii on the around
that he was not Of sound mind He cited
various facts that were supposed to bear
out his contention. The son said that
when he ordered newspapers at a Paris

hotel his father knocked the charge of
six cents for newspapers" out Of the bill
as extravaganza" On the other hand,
when the old gentleman was disturbed by
workmen repairing some rooms in the
hotel he ordered all the rooms closed and
the rent charged to him.
Many of the allegations, however,
seemed to indicate eccentricities such as
might be expected in an elderly man Of
great wealth, rather than insanity. The
suit appears to have been settled amicably
among the family, as Tom Winans is now
acting amicably with them.
The Winans fortune was made by the
father Of the late Ross Winans, a Balti-
more ScOtchman, who went to Russia and
built the first railroads there The Car
Nicholas ]. drew some lines with ruler
across the map of his empire, showing
where he wanted railroads, and Mr..
Winans put them there. The elder Win
