THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING ScALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
dEuff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

COLLEGE GIRLS
ARE HER0INES
Bravery Saves Lives Of Many
at Wellesley Fire.
THE LOSS is $500, 600,
fire Discovered BY Student, Who
Gives the Alarm and Young
Women March Out In
Calm Manner.

Wellesley, Mass.-Perfect discipline,
GOODNESS and bravery on the part of
students and faculty members, pre-
vented any loss of life or injury, when
College Hall, the oldest of the Welles-
ley College buildings, was burned.
Two hundred and fifty young women
students, so instructors and so maids
were in their beds when the fire was
discovered. Everyone was saved and
none of the scores who marched in an
orderly procession through smoke
filed Railways suffered so much as
scratch.
The building was left a blackened
shell by the flames. Within its
crumbled walls was wreckage repre-
senting a loss of 100000. OF this
amount 100000 was the estimated
value Of the personal property of the
inmates, nearly all of whom left in
scanty attire. Louis K. Morse, treas
urer of the board of trustees, said that
the college would, recover perhaps
100000 Of it's loss through insurance.
Miss Ellen Fitz PendIeton, president
of the institution, said:
Although we have not as yet made
any definite plans to rebuild College
Hall, we shall, of course, erect another
structure in the near future"
College Closed.
On account of the fire, the entire
college was ordered closed until April
Z, the end of the regular Easter recess.
Nearly 1000 of the 1900 young women
left for their homes. Many who had
rooms in College Hall went in bor-
rowed clothing. 1t did not always
match and fit as well as it's wearers
desired, but they departed with laugh
ing farewells, little depressed by their
experience.
President Pendleton took occasion
to praise "the sanity and courage
shown by the students in leaving the
burning building" as extraordinary.
Never before" she said, has there
been such fire, with similar condi-
tions, without loss of life or injury
to- some one The obedience to the
fire drill was a credit to the college.
There were no screams or cries heard,
and this in itself showed perfect and
marvellous control"

forever trying to clip my wings-I

We come by such a long road, some
times, to the acceptance Of our near

Because we are so fond Of them
we try to make them over to suit
some curious ideal of perfection Of
our own-until one day we suddenly
laugh aloud at our own absurdity
(knowing that they are probably try
ing as hard to reconstruct US as we
are to reconstruct themD and there
fore we try no more to change them,
we just love 'em and enjoy 'em!"

There are some quite remarkable

Some persons would not believe that
man could suffer from coffee drink

changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.

my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cot.

tation concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then have

NEW PARCEL POST ORDER.
How Letters May Be Sent With
Parcels.


Washington, D. C.-To further add
to the popularity of the parcel post
Postmaster General Burleson signed
an order which will permit the attach
ing of letter to package when both
bear their respective rates of postage
and are addressed to the same indi-
vidual The sending of a communica-
ton with parcel-post package here
tofore has not been permissible.
Postal officials pointed out that it is
often of the utmost Importance that
the sender of an article of merchandise
write letter concerning it, and that,
in order to avoid delay and facilitate
the transaction of business, it is high
ly desirable that the parcels and COM
munications be delivered at the same
time. 1t was with this in mind that
the order was issued. The letter or
communication, however is not to be
inclosed in the package, but it is to be
tied or otherwise securely fastened to
the outside in such manner as to pre-
vent its separation from the package.
The new order is expected to enlarge
considerably the parcel-post service.
