Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative

A doctor will tell you that the care
less use OF strong laxatives may do
more harm than good.
Harsh laxatives often drain the
system. weaken the bowel muscles,
and even affect the liver and kidneys.
Fortunately. the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated TO suit individual need. II

Il young readers which Is In II

The other day | decided to try
an experiment on my brows Sitting
before my dressing table which has
a triple mirror. | blanched out my
own brow line with soap and then
with an eyebrow pencil drew differ
ent brows. some deeply arched. some
short, some elongated TO see
what varied expressions could be
achieved. The result was amazing.
But after trying n half dozen dlf-
ferent styles | decided that after
all nature was a better artist than
yours truly | do find, however.
that your advice about keeping the
brows neat and groomed has helped
heaps. ! have been using the brush
more and the tweeZer less, as you
suggested. and the result Is certain

powdering | brush FIRST the wrong
way and then the right and | mere

grower and darkener on my brows
rs well as my lashes. Well, this
letter may seem pointless. but It's
object is to tell you that now have

There you have several timely
hints on making brows beautiful.

Creomulsion may be a better
help than you need. 1t combines
seven major helps in one-the

Mild coughs often yield to lesser
helps. No one can tell. No one
knows which factor will do most

Creomulsion for any cough that

The cost is a little more than a

SANITARY BEAUTY PARLORS

ON A recent lecture tour had

rainy day. one Of the women wait
Ing ahead OF me had a worried
expression on her face. After sew
eral minutes she evidently gathered
enough courage to speak to me. yOic-
ing the subject Of her annoyance.
the unsanitary measures of the es-
tablishment had already no
tlced that a single comb and scis-
sors were being used by the hair
cutting department, the towels were
not changed between manicures.
The fact that | was about TO walk
out myself added to my compan-
ions courage and out we both
walked.
She explained that she had never
been 10 the shop before, had just
dropped I'm because OF the rain and
suggested the beauty salon she usu-
ally patronized.
When we reached her shop / had
very pleasant surprise. The diff
ference between the two parlors
was so marked. No wonder the first
had annoyed my new acquaintance
Such sparkling cleanliness. sanitary
measures observed TO the letter. a
manager to supervise, consult with
patrons. see that everything clicked
smoothly. even few usherettes to
receive clients cordially and direct
them TO a comfortable waiting room.
The walls, ceilings and floors Of
this salon were immaculate and not
sign OF shipped hair anywhere
Clippers. tweezers. scissors, and all
other articles are sterilized as well
as the combs and brushes. Indivld-
ual cotton pads are used instead OF
powder puffs. The neck duster Of
the unsanitary salon is taboo.
Not only is every sanitary precau-
tIon taken In this model salon, and
happily. there are many of them
throughout the country. but in addi-
ton every comfort is provided for
the customer. A dye test is given
by a specialist in hair dyeing; test
curl by the permanent waving ex-
pert; there's a separate daylight"
room where a customer may choose
in privacy transformation TO
match her own hair.
Visions of the old-fashioned com
munlty drinking cup and family
hair brush make us shudder. Don't
be secretly shocked by unsanltary
beauty parlors. Do what we did,
walk out and choose a model salon
to patronize.

unraveling the twisted skeins, fades into
forgetfulneSs after a thrilling climax.
This riddle was answered in a manner
most gratifying to an Eastern insurance
company which, otherwise, would have
paid out $4,000 on a fake death case
1t was a case without a flaw. Three
men-one of them newly married-were
boating on Biscayne Bay when a sud-
den storm capSized the boat. One of
the trio, the recent benedict, was
drowned and his body was not recov-
cred. The two others swan ashore
When the bride sought to liquidate the
insurance policy in which she was
named as the sole beneficiary the
trouble began. The branch station of
the United States Weather Bureau
attested that no storm occurred on the
day of the purported death. Mr..
Farrar, probing into the history of the
supposed dead man, discovered that he
had served three years in State prison.
Visiting the cell occupied by that pris-
oner, Mr. Farrar found a place on the
woodwork where the convict had written
his name and prison term. The man
from Washington cut block from the
woodwork containing that scrawl and
used it subsequently in court to prove
that the handwriting on the applica-
ton for the insurance policy was the
same as that of the prisoner who had
written his name in thoughtless mo-
ment on the woodwork of his cell. Later
that same crook was picked up by the
police far from Miami and confessed

while its chief actors went to prison.
western concern claimed a reduce
ton in income tax of 100000 in another
case before the commissioner of internal
revenue in Washington. This company
produced loose-leaf ledger in support
of its claims. When Mr. Farrar, who
was summoned as an expert to assist
in that case, examined the ledger, he
was suspicious of six pages of that big
book. Comparison of those pages with
others from the ledger proved they were
diSSimilar. There was chemical in the
green perpendicular dollar column lines
of the regular ledger pages which ate
the blue in the horizontal lines where
the two intersected. This deterioration
was not visible in the six pages of the
ledger referred to previously When the
case came before the judge Mr.. Farrar
handed that dignitary a small hand
glass which magniied 20 times and
requested him to examine the different
pages of the ledger under the glass.
The Government refused the reduction
in income tax requested, but did not
prosecute the latter for commercial
chicanery.
PREVIOUS to the World War, so Mr..
Farrar told the writer, it was rare
occurrence for check against the Gov
eminent to be forged. The great flood
of Federal checks which was put into
circulation during and after the tenn
pestuous war days streamed to many

dates were inscribed. The new names
were inserted with on-fading ink in
some instances, while writing fluid of
slightly different tint and quality was
used in other cases. Mr.. Farrar, by the
use of some of his handwriting magic
he, however, affirms there is neither
mystery nor legerdemain connected with
it-restored the signatures so that two
or more names appeared on various
bonds. Then he photographed that
startling evidence and during the sub
sequent trials the exhibits were adequate
to convince the most recalcitrant jury
extant that crooked work had been in
progress. One of the Brooklyn firms
issued $4,000 bonds in the course of two
years. Selecting 500 of these at random,
Mr.. Farrar took them into court and
proved irrefutably that $50 were for
gerieS. Working one of the tricks of his
restricted profession, he showed how dis
appearing ink could be restored by
Tuning with iodine crystals. He also
renewed other ink signatures which had
been bleached into temporary oblivion
with efficient chemicals. All of which
resulted in the conviction of 20 bonds
men-bootleggers in Brooklyn who finally
confessed their crimes when confronted
with the startling evidence which Mr..
Farrar accumulated during his faSci-
mating search.

Gated by documents presumably of
Mexican origin that a clique of Amer
lean Senators had accepted brides of
several million dollars. Attempt was
made to sell the documents to the United
States Government and when it failed
the papers, in time, were sold to the
publisher. Mr.. Farrar was one of the
handwriting specialists who assisted in
proving that the documents were spu-
rious-forgeries which were easy to iden-
tify when studied by expert eyes.
The skill of this Washingtonian

Farrar's craftsmanship was responsible,
single-handed, for the conviction of 20
persons who forged seed loan contracts.
1t all came about because Mr.. Farrar
spotted" an Endorsement on a check
made in pencil in fresh" writing de-
spite that the signature was supposed
to be many months old. Finding the
Negro who had Endorsed the check, Mr..
Farrar asked him about the matter and
ascertained that the Endorsement had
been made in secret only the day before.
That discovery was the "open sesame"
which led to the exposure of organized
racketeering in seed loan frauds.
