MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty OF their hair by careful sham
pooling, not with any soap or make
shift. but with simple mixture by
putting a teaspoonful OF canthrox
(which they get from the druggist) in
a cup OF hot water and applying this
instead of soap. This full cup of
shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. After its
use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. The hair is so fluffy that it
looks much heavier than it is, its
luster and softness are delightful.

He MADE WILSON
Roger Sullivan, Illinois POliti-
cal Boss, Is Dead.
With His Delegation Controlled
1912 Democratic Convention.

Chicago, April 15.-Millionaires, po-
licemen, ward heelers, widows, bank
ers ard statesmen Joined today in ex-
pressions of sympathy over the death
of Roger c. Sullivan, financier and
politician, who rose from farmland
to political boss" Of his state.
Sullivan died late yesterday as a re-
suit OF a sudden attack of heart fail
ure. superinduced by bronchial pneu-
monia. He had been in failing health
for several months. Funeral services
will be held Saturday.
With the death of Sullivan, Illinois
Democratic politics today were lead
erless Split into factions, Sullivan
led the state party successfully. His
political enemies included Carter Har-
risan. former Governor Dunno, and
former United States Senator j. Ham
ilton Lewis. He had intended. 1t was
said today, to put Dunno and Har-
rison in the delegation to the Demo-
cratic national convention at San
Francisco.
To Sullivan, perhaps more than to
anyone else. Woodrow Wilson owes
the fact that he is president of the
United States, said Sullivan's friends
here today. 1t was at the Baltimore
convention in 1912. Champ Clark had
the Illinois instructions but Sullivan
controlled the delegation. After sew
eraI ballots had been taken, Sullivan
decided to swing to Wilson. 1t was
the first big break in the convention
and Wilson's nomination followed.
Sullivan dominated Illinois Democratic
politics for twenty-five years and for
the last twelve has been a national
figure.

ENTIRE FORCE OUT AFTER HER
District Court Tires of Growing Tel

District Court Tires of Growing Tel
dency 10 Ignore Subpocnas.
The patience of a court was ex-
hauSted this morning and the entire
sheriffs force and police department
were ordered out in a serch for Mrs.
elizabeth Flowers, s22 Kline street,
who. 1t was charged, had ignored a
subpoena ordering her to appear as
witness in Judge George ii. Whit
combs division of the district court
in the case of o. Nj. Elliott, Topeka
insurance man, charged with grand
larceny by F. A. Stevens of Kansas
City.
Both sides wanted Mrs. Flowers as
a material witness. She appeared in
court two days ago, was excused and
told to return today, court officials
stated. Judge Whitcomb dismissed
the jury until 1880 O'Clock while the
sheriffs force and members of the po
lice department searched the city for
Mrs. Flowers.
When court convened at $50
o'clock officers reported that Mrs.
Flowers was in Kansas City and out
of Jurisdiction of the court. The trial
continued without Mrs. Flowers's
testimony. Until she comes into Kan
sas officers are powerless to do any
thing wi tn her, according to court
officials.
Failure of witnesses to heed sub
poenas has halted court procedure
and piled considerable extra expense
on the county recently, according to
court officers Last week a prominent
Topeka physician who had been sub
poenaed in a case was reported out of
the city when the case was called on
the docket and it was necessary TO
postpone the trial.
Alexander Howat is in Jail at this

Jail until he is ready to offer testimony
demanded. A fine of $50 is the limit
for failure to appear in answer to a
summons. officers stated today.

POLL" SHORTAGE HERE, TOO
City Clerk Busy Finding Voting Places

The task of lining up polling
places in each precinct for the COM
ing primaries is occupying the atten-
ton of City Clerk Cove1 at present.
A list of voting booths will soon be
advertised by the county and city, but
it will be incorrect. The state law
requires that such list be published
100 days before the election. AS all
the polling places have not been ar
ranged for, a patched up" list will
be used used to comply with the law.
The changes made in the precinct
and ward boundaries last winter and
present scarcity of houses have made
the renting of polling places a diff
cult matter.
