In this country gool shampoo costs from 50 cents to $1-which is large sum for so simple
 After combing the snarls from the hair, braid it loosely and bind the end with a small elastic band. Draw tepid water in 8 basin and first wash the scalp thoroughly with castillo soap; then let the braid fall in the water, soap it and wash as if clothes. Afterwards thorough ly rinse and wiring the braid in towel. Wipe the head dry, undo the braid and brush out, beginning at the lower end, when it will not tangle. Let the hail loose in the sun and air and 1t will dry in less than half an hour. A woman's hair should be washed at least monthly if kept fine and healthy.

The authorized capital is S5,0OO,G00, which fIay be increased by any amount required by the future business of the bank. The Mort gage Bank charter based the Credit Foneier of France, the bank having the right to issue mortgage bonds against real estate mortgages, which mortgages may not exceed 50 per cent. of the value of the mortgage prop erty. The bank can issue mortgage bonds for 10 times the amount of its capital by new mod ifications of the charter agreed 10 by the Gov ernment.
