TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
Hair, is by far the most conspicu
ous thing about us and is prob
ably .the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. If we
are very careful in hair washing,
we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine sham
poo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair, that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt, can easily be used at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful, of canthrox (which you
can get at any druggists) in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid, enough so
it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.
This chemically dissolves all impuri
ties and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the tcalp
spotlessly clean, soft and pliant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also a
fluff iness which makes it seem much
heavier than it is. After a canthrox
shampoo, . arranging the hair is ft
pleasure. Adv.

Muse Secures Triangle
And Keystone Comedies
The Muse theater has contracted
for the Triangle pictures and the fa
mous Keystone comedies. Manager
Shirley announces that they will make
their initial debut at his theater Au
gust 26 with Wilfred Lucas in "The
Food Gamblers." This is a produc
tion that is very timely, dealing as it
does with a question of national im
portance at this time, and shows how
s.ue men do not care what happens
to this country or the food supply,
just so they make money.
Speaking of the Triangle program,
Mr. Shirley says: "There is no ques
tion but that the productions of this
concern arc of the highest standard
and represent the last word in the
silent drama. The Triangle 'company
has made more really Ifig stars than
the average company and no doubt will
make many more as time progresses.
One big thing that has been noticed
as a predominating feature in this
company s product is the human
ness of. the stories and the faultless
direction and photography, making a
production that at once appeals and
convinces.
"The name 'Keystone' has stood
for years ts the very last word in
comedies. It is a noticeable fact that
many comedies are just one slap
stick after another, but one of the rea
sons that 'Keystones' succeed is that
they take a regular story, choosing it
as if for a regular feature and then
making comedy situations out of
same. -They will be a regular fea
ture at this house."
Other announcements will be forth
coming in the matter of a few weeks
which Manager Shirley says wiJl be
a great surprise.
Girl at Empress Garden
Wins $500 on a Dare
Winning $500 c;i a "dare" is not an I
every day occurrence. Miss Nan Bell
of the Bell Sisters who are playing
at, the Empress Gardens, was the
lucky one to get $500 for thirty min
utes work from W. B. Greenwald,
campaign manager of .the "Electric
Maid" washing machine. Mr. Green
wald has advertised all week for a
woman to dress as the Electric Maid
but did not get any answers to his
advertisement and having promised
his firm that he could get someone to
do the job was about to give up, when
he was talking to his advertising man,
while having something to eat at the
Empress gardens.
He said he couldn't even dare some
body to dress like the picture. The
conversation was overheard by Miss
Bell whereupon she said that no one
could "dare" her whereupon Mr.
Greenwald offered her $300 if she
would take up his dare. She did the
job well as the crowds that gathered
to see her blocked the. streets down
town to see'the Electric Maid.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
(Correspondence of Th Associated Tress.)
Taris, Aug 11. The gigantic task
of supplying American soldiers in the
training camps and at the front with
recreation has been undertaken by the
army and navy Young Men's Christian
association. Organized early in May,
its French branch already has leased
and opened a large clubhouse and
headquarters in this city and has es
tablished centers at the permanent
American base twenty-rive miles be
hind the lines of the western front
and at several ports where the Amer
ican sailors, soldiers, ambulance
drivers, aviators and others engaged
in war work disembark.
Under a comprehensive plan out
lined by directors of the local branch,
working in conjunction with mililarv
authorities and American Young
Men's Christian association officials.
"representatives of the association
will follow the troops wherever they
go, into the training camps in Ameri
ca, on the largest troop ships cross
ing the ocean, at ports of debarka
tion, into the French training camps
and advance bases and even into the
dugouts near the front trenches.
Five Young Men's Christian asso
ciation secretaries, trained in special
branches of the association's work,
will accompany each brigade of ap
proximately 5,000 men into the train
ing camp in America and continue
with the unit until it reaches the
front. Each Young Men's Christian
association unit will be equipped with
a barracks or a hut which will serve
as a recreation center and an attempt
will be' made to provide the soldier
with all the comforts, conveniences
and privileges that his family would
like to provide for him. These bar
racks and huts will be equipped with
reading, writing and game rooms,
shower baths and other facilities for
indoor and outdoor recreation.
May Open Clubs.
Later, if the demand warrants, the
association plans to open attractive
clubs for officers in the naval and
military service. These will be lo
cated at porjs of debarkation, ad
vance bases and in the urban cen
ters where officers are likely to con
gregate. They will be operated in
dependently of those provided for
the men.
Much already has been accom
plished by the Young Men's Christian
association in Paris. The idea of es
tablishing a Paris branch was con
ceived early ii: April by D. A. Davis.
a trained American Young Men's
Umstian association secretary.
The first meeting' was held May
9, when an organization was perfected
and the subjects of the association
outlined to a group of interested
American residents in this city. No
time was lost in preparing for the
vanguard of the great American army
and arrangements' were soon com
pleted to have Young Men's Christian
association meet all incoming troops
and to travel with them to their sta
tions. Consequently when the first ex
peditionary unit arrived, Young Men's
Christian association men were on the
ground waiting for it and they ac
companied the troops from the tem
porary camp to the advance base.
Late in June a handsome private
mansion at 31 Avenue Montaigne,
just off the central point of the Ave
nue des Champs-Elysees, was leased
for the duration of the war and a

purchased one of the largest restau
rants at a French seaport and turned
its management over to the Young
Men's Christian association with in
structions to supply American sol
diers and sailors with American food
at reasonable prices.
The Paris headquarters were oc
cupied until recently by Napoleon
Magne, whose grandfather, Pierre
Mague, France's celebrated minister
of finance, received the mansion as
a gift from Emperor Napoleon III.
The house is furnished in the style
of the second empire, the decorations
and chimney pieces being authentic.
In the ante-chamber is a fine marble
bust of Napoleon III., the gift of the
emperor to Pierre Magne.
Why Statue of Lincoln
Was Given to France
New York, Aug. 12. The motives
which prompt the gift to France of a
statue of Abraham Lincoln to be
erected in Paris were defined today
in a brief statement issued by the
committee for the presentation of tit.
statue. ,The statement read:
"The committee believe;, tha
r-ranee today is fighting for the dem
ocracy of the world; she is ifghtiiu
our battle. In appreciation of the
gallant .virit of the French people
America presents this statue of Abra
ham Lincoln, who was, more that,
any other man, the truest representa
tiveof western democracy."

writing rooms were opened, pool and
billiard tables installed and shower
baths provided. French classes have

other units in the city. j
To Provide Sleeping Quarters. !
Arrangements are being made to
provide sleeping quarters for 300 men
for the benefit of those who may
come to the city on leave or are quar
