WIN. ]. BRYAN WILL RESIDE IN
FLORIDA

William Jennings Bryan will vote
in Florida in the future. While in
New York the other day he an
nounced that his actual residence in
that State would become his legal
residence.
He was Influenced in making the
change, he said, by the state of Mrs.
Bryan's health, and in his new home
to concern himself as much
as ever with public affairs. He said:
Mrs. Bryan's health is such that
it, is necessary for us to live in the
South, and, having lived in Miami
for eight years, we have chosen that
city for our permanent, home. For
some time 1 have been, politically
in a state of suspended an
living in Florida but voting
in Nebraska. Being as much inter-
ested as ever in the problems OF gov
eminent and desiring to make my
years as valuable to my
as possible, have decided
to transfer my citizenship to Flor
ida, and thus make my actual resi-
dence my legal residence ALSO"

There was that fine intelligence
about her which scorns a meaning

Behind them came the man whom /

one of suicide.
The undertaken came. When the
question of where the body should

words with Mrs. Ames.
When 1 told her that the John
Ames home was open to her for any,

the body might be taken there, for
her home was in a hotel, and so,
taking the body to his brothers
home would simplify matters.
There seemed to be nothing fur
her for any of us, so we started TO
go.
Mrs. Ames walked into the private
Office and stood for a second before
the basket in which the form of a
man who had been her husband lay.
She took n of his hands, held 1t
for a moment and then put it gently
back.

BEAUTY HINTS
BY NINE.

PARIS-Is your hair getting
rather duh and "spotty" because it's
SO much covered up with your hat?
That's quite liable to happen in
winter. Natural oils are less in evil
dence. and with everything working
together, an unlovely head of hair
is the result.
There is a very simple shampoo
which works wonders in bringing
out lights of dull hair.
Mix the juice of three lemons. one
tablespoon of salts OF tratar and one
quart of hot water. Wet and wash
the hair with this liquid. No soap
is necessary.
A bit of sweet oil applied to a dry
scalp at night will stimulate the
growth of hair. Rub in gently in
being sure that your fingers really
touch the scalp and not the hair.
For light hair the white OF egg
and lemon juice are excellent. Add
one tablespoon of lemon juice to
the white Of an egg. Rub this into
the hair Immediately after shampoo
ing with ordinary soap. Then rinse
out well with luke warm water.
None of the egg white Should re-
main in the hair. Dry in the sun.
