TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about US and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very careful
in hair washing. we will have viz
tually no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair; that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt; can easily be used at trifling ex-
pense by simply dissolving a teaspoon
full of canthrox (Which you can get at
any druggist's) in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid-enough SO it is easy to apply
1t to all the hair instead of Just the
top of the head. This chemically dis
solves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color, also
fluffiness which makes it seem much
heavier than it is. After a canthrox
shampoo. arranging the hair is a

SAYS SMALL BRIBED LEGION
Candidate for Commander of Illinois
Makes Serious Charges.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Charges, that
Governor Len Small, thru political
patronage and backing/of State Com
mander McCauley, has obtained ''se-
cret control of the American Legion
in Illinois were made today by Major
David E. Hannah. announcing his
candidacy for state commander to
succeed McCauley. ''McCauley's chief
lieutenants in the Legion are being
made state office holders" Major
Hannah said.
Governor Small directly linked
himself with the Legion--a link dis
tasteful to me-when he skillfully
gave Carl Wanderers fate into Nc
Cauley's hands and our gullible state
commander walked blindly into a
smooth political trap which has
brought the Legion more unfavorable
publicity than any other act of any
legion official in this country"
Wanderer, a double murderer was
recently granted a stay of execution
at McCauley's request on the day be-
fore he was sentenced to hang.

vested in commercial business in

MUCH DIPHTHERIA HERE
City Health Officer Also Is Worried
About Scarlet Fever.

Topeka is threatened with an cpl
demic of diphtheria.
Such discourag:ng news is put forth
today by DR.. Earle C. Brown. city
health officer. There are eleven
cases of diphtheria in the city, all of
which have been reported since Aug
ust 6, averaging more than one case
daily Six of the cases are in one
family.
Most of the cases are mild. DR..
Brown said, but care should be taken
when a case is slight for the public
welfare. Nasal d!phtheria, which may
not be recognized as quickly as diph-
iberia of the throat, is prevalent.
Any cases of sore throat or appar-
ent tonsilitis may be diphtheria and
should be- watched carefully, DR..
Brown urged.
Scarlet fever is also threatening the
health of Topeka. There are nearly
as many cases of scarlet fever as
diphtheria in Topeka and the pos
sibility of an epidemic is almost as
serious.
