TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash their own
hair, not because it is a fad, but be-
cause they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything HARM
full They have found that in wash
ing the hair it is never wise to use
makeshift, but is always advisable to
use a preparation made for sham
pooling only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from a
simple home made canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
s. cents a shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist and dis
solving a teaspoonful in cup of hot
water This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head, as with
most preparations. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entire
ly disappear in the rinsing water.
Your hair will be so fluffy that 1t will
look much heavier than it is. Its
luster and softness will also delight
yOu-Ady.

True Business Precepts

To rise in the world you must keep
on doing. See that you have enough
irons in the fire to keep YOU busy.
Add q new one as you become skilled
to- do faster and better work. Keep
them all hot and use the hammer
with trained eye and hand. Keep at
it. Let others tire if they must.
There will always be enough work to
keep you busy and the buster you are
the more you will learn to accomplish.
Don't be afraid of new things. Every
one who attempts to rise has them.
The way you attack them will reveal
your fitness for bigger things and as
you succeed interested watchers of
your efforts will pass on the story of
your activity, thereby advertising
your worth and helping you rise TO
Your rightful place in the world. SO
whatever you do use the right means
and keep your irons hot.-Grit.

How Names Chance

Hardly any name has been immune
from change at one time or another,
but saints names seem to have been
especially liable to maltrcatment,
particularly when the prefix is fol-
lowed by a vowel. The well-known
Tooley street, in London, was orig
inally St. Olave's street, and it is not
difficult to imagine the stages
through which it must have passed in
the slurring speech of the metropolis
before it crystallized into its present
form. In the same way the dignity
of st. Aubin" has been lost in the
comparatively commonplace ''Tobin;"
whilst st. Audrey" has degenerated
into the word "tawdry," applied to n
c.ass Of cheap and pFctentious goods
which were the features of the old
st. Audrey fairs

THOUGHT He Needed Clothes

A young fellow who was the crack
sprinte: of his town-somewhere in
the South-was unfortunate enough to
have a very dilatory laundress. One
evening when he was out for prac-
tice run in his rather airy and abbre-
Waited track costume, he CHANGED to
dash past the house of that dusky
lady who at the time was a couple of
weeks in arrears with his washing.
He had scarcely reached home again
when the bell rang furiously and an
excited voice was waited in from the
porch: "Foh de Lawd's sake, won't
you all tell Marse Bob please not to
go out no mob till I kin git his clo'es
round to him ?"-Augusta Herald.

Town Crier in France

In the old days the town crier was
recognized institution Throughout
France. But when the art of printing
came in the newspapers drove the
town crier out of business. There are
parts of France, however, where the

ments, according to one of the mem
bers of A Company, 18th Engineers
In an obscure little village near the
town where this unit was camped
there is an old man who stands at the
main street corner and boats a drum
to attract the attention of the popu-
lace when there is news to be given
out. There is no newspaper. When
the arrnistice was signed the people OF
that village learned of it from the
crier-lThe Spiker, France.

Lotus Eaters"

Few flowers have been more identi-

mysterious lotus of Egypt. 4he phrase
lotus eaters" is a common one in lit
erature. and is used to describe those
who live in a dream world. The food
made from the dried seeds of the
Egyptian variety seems to have had
an effect similar to various opium
products, and once in the clutch of the
drug the lotus eaters forgot both past
and family, and went incoming about,
oblivious of demands made by society,
kin, or even their own physical wants.
