Train Your Hair as an Actress Does

No class of people devotes as much time to beauty as do actresses, and no class must be more careful to retain and develop their charms. Inquiry develops the information that in hair care they find it dangerous to shampoo with any makeshift hair cleanser. The majority say that to have the best hair wash and scalp stimulator at a cost of about three cents, one need only get a package of canthrox from your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo Is ready. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply It to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use the hair dries rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dire are quickly dissolved and entirely ditappear when you rinse the hair. After this your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than, it is. . Its lustre and softness will tlso delight you, while the stomulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth. Adr.

A Boston romance culminated in the Municipal Building here when Ludger Gagne and Louise King said their "I do's" before Deputy City Clerk M. J. Cruise. In one way their story really begins a dozen years ago, when a freight car ran over Gagne, cutting off an arm and a leg. Gagne bravely went to work to beat his handicap, and within the last few years has made himself recognized as one of Boston's best swimmers. He has won many medals and championships. Lolling on Revere Beach one day last Summer he heard a scream. Gagne swam swiftly to the spot, dived and brought up Louise King. After an hour of desperate first-aid on the beach, she was revived. The romance followed.

Continued from page One same time the city was offering new potatoes at its municipal produce markets at cost, 6 cents per pound, a price twenty-five percent less than what we were asking. "In establishing prices, we retailers must figure in fifteen percent for overbead expenses, rent, clerk hire, delivery, taxes and light, and probably four percent must be deducted for spoiled produce, leaving us a narrow margin of six percent profit. City Has No Overhead. "The city handles the produce it purchases without the expenses of rent, clerk hire and delivery. We retailers help pay taxes which in turn are used to meet the salaries of the city officials who conduct these municipal markets." These statements were made today by a Main street retail groceryman in voicing the general complaint of his associates over the action of the city In entering into competition with the retailers In garden produce. "It can also - be stated that the prices asked by the city for produce other than potatoes have been relatively disproportionate to the prices asked by the retailers. Our profit on all each stuff is very small and we must make a profit or go out of business," this groceryman added. City Sella at Cost Another groceryman advanced still another argument to prove his contention that the prices asked by retailers were not much higher than the prices asked by the city, when it is considered that the city sells at cost and with freight shipment charges as its only overhead expense. "Much of our produce, like all other commodities we handle, Is sold on credit. In some instances we must watt a month to receive payment, some time these accounts stand on the books much longer, and in some instances we never get paid," this second grocery-

man explained. "All this handicaps us for we are deprived of money whioh we need in the operation of our business. On the other hand the city sells for spot cash. "I honestly believe that if we could eliminate delivery service and sell only on a cash basis we grocerymen could

afford to make an average reduction of twelve percent in charges for produce and other commodities we handle.". ' : Buy from Hand to Mouth. Grocerymen give plausible explanations for not purchasing southern grown produce directly from the producers, as the city is now doing. ' "Produce is perishable and must be disposed of promptly.'V the retailer states. "Consequently we purchase from 'hand to mouth.' We can , purchase this way by patronizing the midi dleman, the commission dealer. i "You say the city experiences no difficulty -in disposing of the carload lots of produce it is bringing to Rich: mand? , " v "That is true, and why shouldn't the city be able to get. rid of its produce promptly? Look at the publicity the city has been receiving in this enterprisecolumns of newspaper space, which costs the city nothing. Let me explain that the average groveryman would go into bankruptcy if he tried to pay for all the advertising the city has been receiving without cost."

Toast Stalk Biscuits to Effect Economies

INDIANAPOLIS,4 May 24. Stale biscults may be used in various ways and made palatable, Dr. H F. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner said today. The fact. that the biscuits dry cut quickly and present unusual problems to the cook need not make it necessary to throw, them away, he declared. He was speaking of the biscuits raised by baking powder or soda and sour milk. He said : '. "Such breads, which sometimes are called 'quick breads' cannot be freshened by putting in the oven like yeast raised bread. Most housekeepers avoid stale biscuits by baking only the number which experience has taught will be eaten hot. But the most careful calculators sometimes make errors, and frequently the bread box accumulates cold biscuits. Stale biscuits offer little promise to the most skilled cooks, and as a result they usually find their way either to the chicken pen or the garbage can. "The government experts are doing their best to prevent waste of food and one of their first suggestions for saving is a number of methods for using stale breads. They point out that biscuits may be toasted quite as successfully as bread and that so prepared ill makes a splendid base on which to serve minced meats or coddled eEKS.

Biscuit crumbs may be used with complete satisfaction in other breads, cakes and puddings. When dried in the oven for a few minutes biscuit crumbs will keep for sometime in a glass jar without becoming mouldy or musty."
