TURKEYS CHEAPER
 INLOCAL STORES
Large Demand Anticipated as
 Result Of Cut in Cost

Beware Of Fakes.

Quite recently 7 got hold Of o book
containing several chapters giving away
the secretly kept formulas Of o large
number Of widely advertised and sold
beauty preparations. I've no intention
Of giving away anybody's secrets. do
think, however, that you should be ex-
tremely careful Of any stuff you buy for
putting on your hair or on your skin,
and you should most particularly be-
ware of preparations that promise mi
raculous results. The best can say
for many Of these things is that they
are quite harmless except to your
pocket book.
Beware Of hair dyes. Some Of them
contain silver nitrate and other metal
lie ingredients which may hurt the
scalp. Many which are harmless con-
tain such Intellectual ingredients as
burnt sugar! One contained powdered
breadcrust, another mild wash Of
camomile flowers. II you're going to
have your hair dyed go to a scalp spe-
cialist. It can be done harmlessly with
henna, but there are very few beauty
shops that can be trusted with the job.
Brilliantine Is expensive. Out Of
many formulas here Is one that you
can make yourself at practically no
cost, and which will be exactly the
same as one sold all over the country
bearing a well known name and costing
a lot of money. You simply mix three
teaspoonfuls of good quality olive oil
and one of alcohol together in a bottle

Can You Imagine I

When we use an exclamation Of this
sort, little do We realize what 1t means.
Can you imagine?" we say when
somebody tells something that has actu-
ally happened. We suggest that 1t re-
quires Imagination to grasp something
that might seem to lie within the power
Of the five senses.
Most of US regard imagination as .
sort of luxury, like dessert after meal.
We may take it or not, according to our
desire. We are not so quick to observe
that imagination Is really meat and po-
tatoes, a part Of well balanced ration
Of the brain.
We can't go into all the great dis
coveries man has made, from America
to the new planet, from the telephone
to the electron. But we can go far
enough to realize that these things,
which are now facts, were once dreams
in somebody's mind. The scientihc
somebody had the power to imagine
what was going to be a reality IN the
next generation.
Some of us have irnagtnations which
overlook the obvious facts and start
playing with mere day dreams, like Q
flapper who cuts out the ham sand
wich for the sake of the chocolate
ecair. That sort of fancy thinking
won't get us anywhere. If it Is in
dulged in too literally, the Tightly
thinker Is likely to go cuckoo.
Most of us, however. are more likely
to plod along In the fog than to sail
along on the clouds. We can't imagine,
and that's the reason we can't see. You
can see house, but it takes imaginA-
ton to see q home. Your eyes can OBJ
serve a woman or man. but to see
mother and father requires the work
of the mind and heart-of imagination.
The reason why some people can
never see the idea in an argument, the
point of story or the beauty OF land
scape Is because they lack the inward
light of the mind, the fashlight OF
imagination.
Imagination can work in more ways
than one. It can reveal either the ia
vorable or unfavorable. You can't ex-
pect to size up the world and the people
in it merely by giving things the once
over. You have to take second look,
and look No. should come from the
inside.
When q man talks about marriage It
will require lot Of imagination to see
him in the light of husband. He seems
all right when you meet him upon q
purely social level, but If you are going
to get q domestic view Of him as he
will be later on, you'll have to let i'm
agination get in its fine work.
The oculist can test your eyes, but
life tests your powers Of imagination.
Can you imagine things as they really
are?

money which accrued from their finds
