can be easily and thoroughly
rinsed from your hair with
warm water.
There is such a liquid sham
poo that I can recommend for
every type of scalp, for chill
dren as we'll as adults. There
are very few shampoos that
are so versatile-because oily
hair usually demands a more
cutting" lotion than dry hair.
The mpoo of which I
speak is an efficient cleanser.
1t has no drying propensities
and is therefore excellent for
the dry scalp. Oily scalps bene-
fit by its usage, and any shade
of hair remains its natural
color and acquires a lovely
luster to boot!
So If you are using the
wrong shampoo for your type
of hair (and that happens so
freqently), or if you have been
negligent in using cake soap
instead of a liquid one. I sug-
gest that you try this shampoo
and play safe. It is economical
and bears a stamp of approval
that is nationally recognized.

Plenty Of Water
On a short journey-say, not

feeding the dog. Give him
plenty of water, of course: but
let him wait until the end Of
his trip to eat. Provision should
be made, however, for nex.
pected delays and emergency
rations of some kind provided.
The water is most important.
The majority of commercial
crates have inside drinking pans

out of his crate and in friendly
hands the better.

On his way to the Worlds
Fair in Chicago, Ritzy, pedi-
greed Boston bull terrier. posed
for his picture for our column.
Ritzy, who is a much
travelled pup, had been visiting
Mrs. T. C. Cullins, at 1925 Fiji
teenth st. N. w. He belongs
to Mrs. Cullins' sister, Mrs.
Frances Gordon, of Chicago.
Travelling is old stuff to
Ritzy, but to the pup making
his first trip by railroad it is a
new and terrifying experience.
Strange sights and sounds and
most of all separation from
those he loves best. A highly
strung dog can be done serious
damage by a journey.
A dog who has been educated
to endure a certain amount of
confusion and strangeness will
stand the ordeal fairly we'll. AS
with humans it is the sheltered
darlingS who suffer most.
Preparations
First of all be sure your dog
is in good physical condition.
It is nothing less than a crime
to send a. dog under par on a
long railroad journey,
A well-made substantial crate
should be your next consldera-
ton. The crate should be so
constructed that there is plenty
of ventilation at or near the
top and on more than one side,
The exact amount depends on
the time of the year and
weather conditions. A good size
airy crate that might prevent
fits from over-eating in summer,
in winter might bring on p1eu-
monia or bad colds.
The strength of the doorsnap
and the door itself is important.
The average dog is smart
enough to know that the most
likely place to get out is by the
same route he came in-the
door. And it is there that he

They fill their gardens canvas
