TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

We have found that in washing the
hair It is never wise to use makeshift,
but is always advisable to use prepa-
ration made for shampooing only.
Many of our friends say they get the
best results from simple homemade
Santhrox mixture. You can use this at
a cost of about three cents a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolvfng a teaspoonfui
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. Dam
druff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear in the rinsine
water. Your hair will be so fluffy that
it will look much heavier than it is
Its luster and sofness will also delight
you.

to Mount St. Mary's.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICK, Md, June 10.-Liti-
cation over the estate of DR.. Charles
W. Hoffman, former librarian of the
United States Supreme Court, who has
been dead twenty-seveu years. has
been revived, Maurice H B. Hoffman
of Hyattsville and eight other neph-
ews and nieces having filed suit in
circuit court here to recover $500, 900
from Mount Saint Marys College,
near Emmitsburg, Md. Iegatee. The
suit is expected to be heard late this
fall.
The plaintiffs charge that the col
lege has not fulfilled the provisions OF
DR.. Hoffman's will. which designated
the bequeSt for erection of q church.
1t is the second time heirs have
sought to gain possession of the for
tune.
When DR.. Hoffman died, in 1897,
he left several beuueSts to relatives
and friends and provided that the
residue of his estate. amounting TO
more than $4,000, be held in trust
for his half brothers, and that upon
their death $4,000 go to George
town College for a library and the
remainder to Mount St Mary'S for
a church.
In 1915, after the death of the half
brothers, the other heirs contested
the will, declaring the college had
ample churches for it's needs, and
that expenditure for another would
be a waste of the fund.
Associate Judges Glenn p. Worth
ington and the late Edward c. Peter
ruled for the plaintiffs, while a
minority decision was rendered by
Chief Judge Hammond Urner, who
was upheld by the court of appeals
The residue was distributed and
the relatives, in now contending for
the return of the money, ask $780,
900 and 100000 punitive damages.
Judges Urner. Worthington and
Robert IS. Peter now will pass on
the issue.
