Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampo poo
contain too much alkali, which IS Vs,.

the hair brittle.

No Iowa Republican Said It.


Cedar Rapids Republican: One OF
the Iowa senators-we need not say
which one-is credited with the fol-
lowing words, which are now running
through the press of the country and
bringing forth various comments:
'Tf Roosevelt had been alive he
would have had about as much
chance in the convention as Johnson.
If Johnson had been dead he prob
ably would have had as much con-
dolence as Roosevelt. The kind of
men the people want are he kind of
men the bosses are determined the
people shall not have"
We do not believe that any Iowa
republican uttered such words. 1t is
something that has been made up
and the correction will never be able
to overtake the original story. There
is no Iowa republican who could say
such things, for Iowa republicans
worth quoting on national matters
are too honest to say what Is not
true. Every word in that quoted state
ment is not only not true, but it is a
lie,

FAMILY BUDGETING.

It is interesting to read the report Of one of
Cincinnati's community organizations which
six months ago agreed that it's membership
should adopt budget system for home and
family and should submit report Of the result.
The final report Of the secretary tells OF saving,
satisfaction and determination to continue
budgeting that seems well nigh unanimous on
the part of the two hundred members who con-
tributed to it.
''Budgeting has stopped eighty-fve dollar
suits Of clothes on twenty-five dollars week
incomes; it has sent housewives to market with
baskets on their arms in such numbers that this
is considered an honorable and respectable Gus
tom; it has lessened the number of tricotine
suits worn to work by clerical young women; it
has made a lot of trouble for certain merchants
who took an advance of five per cent. in ma
terials and overhead as cause to ask an advance
of twenty-five per cent. in prices Thus reads
the report. A budgeting community shows
quick evidence of thrift, sense and prosperity.
We ought to be budgeting nation; we can be
individually now and governmentally later
when some smoothing Of ruffled executive feel

Indigestion

The stomach only partly digests the
food we eat. The process is finished
in the intestines where the food Is
mixed with bile from the liver.
It must be plain to any sensible per-
on who realizes this, that the
stomach, liver and bowels must work
in harmony If digestive troubles -
are to be avoided or overcome.
This fact also explains why ~
sufferers from indigestion, also N
suffer more or less from head
aches, biliousness and constipa-
ton.
II you are one OF the many un-
fortunate persons who cannot eat
