Most of the care is in the shampoo

shampoo can be given by rubbing the
scalp and hair with half alcohol and

and should be followed by several
rinsings in hot and cold water.

MISCHA ELMAN COMES
TO MINOT JANUARY ~
Greatest ViOlinist Has Been Secured
for the Auditorium on Above Date
Under Auspices of Schools.

Through the efforts Of Supt. l.. A.
White Of the High school, it is posi-
BILE to announce that Mischa Elman,
one of the greatest, if not the great
est, violinist, will appear at the High
School Auditorium on the evening of
January 9th. 1t was only possible
to secure Elman by also booking him
for another date in the state. This
Mr.. White was successful in doing.
Mischa Elman comes to Minot under
the auspices of the Minot public
schools. This securing Of the stellar
artist is in line with policy adopted
as soon as the Auditorium was COM
pleted, and Elman is only one Of SER
les that will appear in this magnificent
auditorium this winter. The engage
ment Of Lucy Gates, the soprano, prov
ed that only the best is good enough
for Minot and the northwestern por-
ton of the state, and with the several
other great artists that are looking
this way, lovers Of the best in music
are going to get their fill Of melody
Of the best sort before spring. The
series will be closed perhaps with the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in
April. In the meantime lovers of mu-
sic should watch for date of the open
ing Of the reserved seat sale for FL
man at the Association of Commerce
rooms. Mail orders for tickets will
also be handled through the Associa-
ton Of Commerce.

campaign will be put on next spring
for additional money. Minot should
not make the mistake that Grand
Forks made in building its pool too
small. Grand Forks has fine pool
that was used 10000 times, individual
ly last summer, but regrets that the
pool was not made larger.
1t is probable that the location for
the Minot swimming pool will be
changed. The site that had been Sc
lected for it was near the entrance OF
the park, not far from the bear house
Owing to so many wild animals close
to the proposed site, it is feared that
the many flies would prove disagree
able to the bathers.
