DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten 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, and 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.-Advt.

ALLIES DECIDE TO
DtCli.;s;faas
CONTRAbAAD
Likely to Prove Bad Blow to South
ern States
is MOVE TO INJURE GERMANY
Probable That American Government
Will Try to Lessen This Blow
To Our Commerce.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The allies
intention to declare cotton contra
band has been communicated nnof-
fioially but authoritatiyely to the
state department.
The departments adyices are that
the decision has been reached and
the delay in making an announce
ment is due to the necessity of a.
ranging uniform treatment OF the sub
ject by all the allies.
The step has been agreed upon iy
Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy
and Belgium, but Japan's attitude
has not been defined and she may de
eide that no action is called for from
her at this time because of the elimi-
nation of the only German colony in
the far east from the military pgnb-
lem and the absence of any reason
for a blockade.
Ever since the application of the
British orders in council to cotton
among other American products the
entente allies have felt that some
move effective and less burdensome
method must be found for dealing
with cotton and preventing itr entry
into Germany and Austria. fhe allies
contend that American cotton ship
pers in many cases alleged TO be
backed by German capital haze Leen
shipping cotton to Germany through
neutral ports.
The cotton interests have Tor some
time been alarmed at the prospoct
and it is known that thesstate depart
ment has been preparing to resist the
new move with every means at the
command of diplomacy.

out of town as many strangers visit
ed here from North Adams, Pittsfleld
and Hoosick Falls, while more guests
than usual gathered at the home of
friends or relatives in town.
Most of the stores and places of
were shut down and nearly everyone
was given an opportunity to enjoy
the day. Ice cream parlors and the
moving picture houses did capacity
business. The T.. M T. A. b. dance
in Itoresters hall in the evening was
largely attended.

o'clock The program included a
variety of athlectic sports which were
