"I will never write anything to
which my whole heart, mind and
- conscience don't consent,- go that I
may feel that it was something
however small which wanted to be
done in this world and I am just the
organ for that bit of work," said
George Eliot in the spring of 1861
when writing to a publisher. George
Eliot's favorite theme has been de
scribed as "the idealist in search of
a vocation." This gives a key to
much of her life and thinking.
Current literature contains many
articles on George Eliot Novem
ber 22, just passed, marked the 100
years since the birth, of this great
woman. One description of her
from the Christian Science Monitor
carries particular interest:
" 'She generally sat in an armchair
on the left hi the fireplace,' writes
Mr. Oscar Browning. 'She always
gave us of her best. Her conversa
tion was deeply sympathetic but
grave and solemn, illumined by
thrilling tenderness, but not by
, humor. .. She appeared much great
er than her books.... You never
" dared to speak to her of her works;,
her personality was so much more
impressive than its products.' George
Eliot's last London home, one of
the sedate old -brick houses in
Cheyne Row, is one of the literary
shrines of'Chelsca, though little-associated'
with the. novelist or her
-' work.. ' ! ''-
' ' Mr. Cross, who became her hus
band in 1880, has written an inter-
esting description of George Eliot
as she appeared to those who came
to see her at this time. When the
.drawing room d$or opened a first
glance revealed her always- in the
same low armchair on the left hand
side of the fire. On entering the
... visitor's eye was at once arrested by
the massive head. The- abundant
,bair, streaked with gray now, was
draped with' lace, mantilla fashion,

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR
There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
well kept to judge of a woman's
neatness, or good taste. If you are
one of the few who try to make the
most of your hair, remember that it
is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur
poses, but always use some good
shampoo. ' You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoon-
ful 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. Dandruff, excess oil,
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its luster and softness
will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth, , ,

The World's Greatest Authority
THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA contains what is
probably the best and most . reliable information written by the
greatest experts on pradtically every subject known to the human
mind. No matter what subject vou are interested in. no matter
what subject your family or your children are interested in, no ' 1
matter what subject comes up in your daily papers or your dooks,
you will find that the Britannica gives the most comprehensive
- information on that subject in its 44,000,000 words. Every phase
of a subject is covered. Even the smallest, most obscure informa
tion is here in the Britannica, as well as -the articles on the great -general
subjects.
When you read an article it the Encyclopaedia Britannica you
feel confident that the information you are obtaining is reliable,
for the Britannica was written by the wisest minds of "the day,
' each aspecialist in the particular subject upon which he has fur
nished an article for the Britannica. These writers are either
, professors in the great institutions of learning in our country and
other countries, or ace scientific and professional men and women
who, by their superior intelligence and research, have acquired
far advanced knowledge of their subjects, or, again, they are the
great workers of 4lie world merchants, financiers and practical
artisans who have in' many cass achieved startling success in
their particular lines of. work. They write in a clear, concise
, manner which every member of rour family can understand. You
will be surprised how interesting and fascinating are the articles
in the Britannica, and you will have many hours of profit and
pleasure from a set of this great work.
Your Country Needs Your Help jnihe
Solution of the Great Problems ,
i ' Left by the War
We are How in a period of reconstruction in America as well as
Europe. . We.must reconstruct and modify our industrial, social
and political life to meet the new conditions as a result of the war.
The gravesfquestions that ever confronted a nation must now
be met, and you. will have to help settle these questions as a
citizen of a democracy. For example: Shall we retain our high
tariff or shall we operate on a free trade basis? Shall we wipe
out our enormous nationakdebt in one or two generations or shall
we extend it. over a comparatively long period? Shall we adopt
universal training or maintain a large standing army? Shall we
place under permanent Federal control the railroads, telephone,
telegraph and express companies or shall we keep them under
private ownership? Shall this nation become more autocratic or
tend toward Socialism? What will mean the greatest prosperity
and happiness to the people? , . .
These questions deeply concern you. A citizen today whois
informed and is able to talk intelligently on problems of national
importance will be sought out for his advice, and he is, certain to
play a large part in the solution of these questions.
There is no work that will give you the amount of reliable,
-accurate information so readily accessible as the great Encyclo
paedia Britannica. The Britannica for a century and a half has
been the basis of the reading, the very foundation of the knowl
edge on which the leading men, the statesmen of each generation
have based their judgment for- the solution of the national .
problems of their day. You, as a citizen of this great nation, liv,
ing in the day of the greatest crisis of its history, should do no
less than put yourself in a position adequately to answer and pass
; intelligent judgment on the questions that are so vital to the
country and the happiness and welfare of its people. '.
Give Your Child a Fair Chance in '
the Woria ,
Who are the men and women in each generation who have
stood head- and shoulders above their fellow men and who have
won the most notable success? They are the men and women
who, as children, have educated themselves beyond the station to
which they were bornj Abraham Lincoln was the best educated
la-wyer in bia town, and he continued throughout hla life probably the best
posted man In hla generation, because he read and read and read. Tou Insist,
that your child has brains, but you should help that child develop his bralna. ,
and give him every advantage possible within your meana. so that when be
becomes ready to go out o do hla work In the world he Is not handicapped by
lack of education. Tour son or daughter may be handicapped by lack of
money, but no educated man or woman considers the lack of money e serious
handicap. What he or she does fear, however, and rightly, la the lack of
education. Education la the path that leads to achievement, to a larger life
and to greater success. Put iln your child's the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
