WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH THEIR OWN HAIR ' They do, not because it is a fad. but because they wish to obtain the greatest possible hair beauty, and be sure they are not . using anything harmful. Thev have found that in washing the hair it is never wise to use a makeshift, but is always ad visable to use a preparation made for shampooing only. Many of our friends say they get the best results from a simole home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a shampoo bv getting some canthrox from your druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair instead of just the top of the head, as with . most preparation!. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis solved and entirely disappear in the rinsing water. Your hair will be so ruffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness will also delight you. Advertisement, THE BEE: OMAHA TO THE FORE IHEASHrVATTlES Banker Says City Much in the Public Eye Over Doubling Purchase of Liberty ' Bonds.

However; this does not serve as a good index of the reading popula tion of the city, Miss Tobitt says, as the children in outlying schools draw books from school libraries without cards. Six books may be drawn on one card, and this gives an opportunity for a whole family to be served by one card.
