DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't use
soap. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
rnulsihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely gTeaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and few ounces viii
last the whole family for months.
Simply r1ioisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, ard rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy TO
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

AN ISLAND.

AN ISLAND.
Ny dream is of an island place
Which distant seas keep lonely,
A little island on whose face
The stars are watchers only,
Those bright still stars, they need
not seem
Brighter or stiller in my dream.
An island full OF hills and dells,
All rumpled and uneven
With green recesses, sudden swells,
An odorous valleys driven:
So deep and straight that always
there
The wind is Graded to soft air.
Hills running ND to heaven for light
Through woods that halfway ran
AS if the wild earth mimicked right
The wilder heart of man;
Only it shall be greener far
And gladder than hearts ever are.
The place is all awaye with trees,
Lines, myrtles purple-beaded,
Acacias having drunk the lees
OF the night-dew, faint-headed,
And wan gray olive-woods which
The fittest foliage for a dream.

each
Too closely interlaces
To admit of yistas out OF reach
And broad moon-lighted places
Upon whose sward the antlered deer
MAY view their double image clear.

London, March 1O-The German submarine U-2O

and U9 having tonnage of only 300 and submerged
speed of not eight knots The radius of boats of
the U20 type is given in marine authorities at 1000
miles.

Washington. March 1o.-According
to the doctrine laid down by the
American government in similar cases
to the Prinz EiteI Friedrich, the
collector of the customs at Norfolk
must give the commander OF the
Eitel twenty-four hours from the
time OF her arrival to take coal and
provisions.
If the ship needs repairing, how
ever, she has a longer respite. The
naval constructor at port will make
an examination and report what
would be a reasonable time to make
the necessary repairs and the German
ship will be given twenty-four hours
in addition to that time. In the mean
while, the American government will
keep the time of her departure secret,
SO no unfair advantage might accrue
to hostile ships, which might gather
in wait for the Eitel.
