John Hill Robertson, city health com missioner. Inquiries already received here sugt est the probability that if the Chicago experiment is successful it may be tried in other communities.
 Success reported in the first week, when the average weight of the twenty four women composing the first class was reduced by 5.s pounds, has prompted the organization of other classes in this city and altogether more than 200 persons here are trying to see how rapidly they ssR regain their youthful figures.
 The leaders of the fat elimination con test here aver that the experiment can te tried by anyone suffering from a sur plus of averdupois. Reasonable exercise and a strictly controlled diet constitute two of the chief feature of the Chicago experiment.
 The daily menus of the reducing class are prepared by Miss Ruth Wilbar .oi the health commissioners training school for nurses. who believes this supervision of diet to b essential to success, Those ambitious to become slim are permitted TO nave lean meat put once ody, anu potatoes are forbidden.

Attorneys for Grammer
Appeal From Decision
In His Mandamus Suit

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 26.-(Special.
Attorneys for Allen V. Gramme1
today appealed to the state supreme
court from the decision of the dis
trict court in his rnandamus suit
which refused to issue writ com
pelling Governor McKelvie to grant
him another formal hearing on his
appeal for pardon.
Grammer and Alison B. Cole are
under sentence of death by electro
cution for the murder Of Mrs. Lulu
Vogt, Grammer's mother -in-law, in
Howard county in 1917.
The execution, which is scheduled
for Friday, will probably be post
poned, since John Hubert chief
executioner of the New York state
prison, will not be able to come here
this week.
Tomorrow, Grammet's counsel
will appear before the state supreme
court to present argument against
the states motion that appeal for
writ of habeas corpus, denied by the
district court, be dismissed. At the
same time Coles case will come up
before the United States circuit
court of appeals in St. Louis.
Grammer's latest appeal is filed
upon the ground that his formal
hearing before the governor upon
his appeal for a pardon was held
without due notice having been
served upon his friends and relatives
to appear III his behalf.

ToDAY's BEAUTY MINT

It 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 lettle expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a 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 we'll as beneficial to, both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
hther SO created. you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing q
bright luster and soft fluffiness
that makes it seem very heavy.
