That will not in any way change the
color and it will nourish the scalp in

For shampooing white hair use only
the whites of eggs and CASTLE soap.
Prepare the soap by shaving and
melting With boiling water, allow i,
to cool. When of jelly-like consis-
tency put a tablespoonful of it with
the white of an egg. AS a rule two
eggs are needed for each shampoo.
To mix the eggs and soap jelly the
two should be beaten together and
thinned with a little warm water
The yellow of the eggs must never
be put on gray hair. for It is fun of

CHILDREN AND PRE-.

To safeguard children from fire,
render their cotton frocks and pima
fores as uninflammable as possible by
the use of alum in the laundry. An
ounce of alum to the rinsing water
will make the garments so far un-
inflammable that if they were to
come in contact with fire they would
only shoulder, not burst into flames.
The same treatment is to be recon-
mended for muslin or lace curtains.

BE sure to open all the closet doors

TO GUARD AGAINST "NERvEs.v

Have you ever noticed how. after
the days work is over, either at
school or at work or at home. there
have been hours in which you were
irritated and ready to take offense?
Have you never had a sense-you
could not tell why-of everybody be-
ing in some way less agreeable than
usual and the weather Trying and the
whole system of your affairs being
out of sorts? These states of mind
are nine times out of ten caused by
the unconscious and perhaps involun-
tary influences of some fault-findins
or disconnected person who had found
something wrong even with the sun
in the heavens.
Men and women who can counter
act this sort of thing have beautiful
lifes work before them. No need for
money or influence or great social OPP
portunities to be of value to others.
If young heart takes up as its mis-
sion the making of things bright and
placid in those places where friction
is destroying peace and the distemper
of an unhappy mind causes constant
disturbances.
You cannot lecture or advise people
out of these sad habits.

FIRE ALARM CALLS OUT LADDIES
BUT BLAZE DOES LITTLE HARM

The fire alarm was sounded at aboat
$3.50 Wednesday afternoon and in a
very few moments thereafter many
people were hurrying TO the north
end OF the city where much smoke
and small blaze were seen to issue
from what proved to be shed at tho
rear of Charles Fulgham's home on
Palmer street between Second and
Third and not far from yards of tho
Grand Mesa Lumber company. The
local fire department turned out with
usual promptness but employees at the
lumber yard had gained full control
OF the situation with n small private
hose and there was no need of action
on part OF the regular fire fighters.
The damage was of a very trivial
nature. but might have developed SER
iously since there are many frame
buildings in that section of the city.
The blaze was started 1t is said. by
children playing in the alleyway that
