NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN,
the women are the money-savers

the trick of making one dollar do
the work of two in buying, and
of laying the other dollar away
for the rainy day that may come.
| We desire to encourage these
j \ thrifty women, and this is our urgent

London.—The elefense of the realm
act, which has been nicknamed “Dora,"
has now come in for abuse from hair
dressers, owing to new restrictions on
the use of alcohol. This measure has
become necessary in consequence of
the enormously increased demand for
munition and Red Cross needs. Dry
shampoos and hair lotions are all
| threatened by the latest order or
“Dora.” As the use of methylated
spirit for burning also is forbidden,
forced-draft oil stoves which cannot be
lighted except by the aid of spirit are
made useless.
