experts made especially for me. It
keeps my hair curly, gives it a

everyone who sees me on the stage

Now I have placed this dressing
at every woman's call. All toilet
counters supply it as Edna Wallace

price is 75c. My guarantee comes
with each bottle. If it doesn't de-

Members of the Chicago carpenters
united progressive caucus declare def
initely that their candidate, Fred Bob
zin, has been elected and the former
president of the district council. Har-
ry Jensen, defeated by an ample ma
iority.
While a very few Of the locals in
outlying territory have not yet report
ed their ballots, the progressives, reck-
oning from Jensen's entire vote last
year and the known strength Of locals
remaining unreported, assert Jensen
is defeated and that his cautious at
tempts to claim reelection are ridicu-
lous.
Bobzin's majority in Chicago city
proper was over 1000 and no matter
what the outlying few locals left may
report, Jensen will be several hundred
short of being even with Bobzin. No
monkey business with the election by
the Jensen machine will be permitted,
