Nancy and Nick listened and heard
it an. as they had asked their Mag

Jacks beanstalk and the rest was
easy. This was what the monkeys
we're saying.
The moon knows everything"
Lets ask him where we can find
some delicious rice. then"
ITS too far away"
Let's jump and see il we can
reach IT,"
"All right Let's"
So the monkeys uncurled their
tails from around the branch and
jumped. But goodnessl All they
did was TO land on their heads.

BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS

There is real common sense in
Just noticing whether the hair is
we'll kept to judge Of a woman's
neatness. or good taste. II you are
one OF the few who try to make the
most of your hair. remember that
Il is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses, but always use some good
shampoo. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoon
ful 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 the top
OF the head. Dandruf, excess oil.
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so
fluffy that It will look much heavier
than Il is. It's luster and softness
will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.
