In practice, summer pruning, on a

Is difficult TO see, when the leaves are
on, just which branches should be re-
moved, except in the case OF dead
branches. One must be on the guard,
also, to avoid peeling OF the bark when
II peels rapidly. Pruning is less ex.

Use Cocoanut Oil
for Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In good
condition. the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aikali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle. and Is very
harmful. just plain mulsifisd cocoanut
oil (which v pure and entirely grease
less). - much better than soap or any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
snd rub IL in. One OF two teaspoonfuIs
will make an abundance OF rich. creamy
lather. and cIesnses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Pending
President wilson's return from Cor
nish, N. H.. when he will formulate
with Secretary Garrison and secre-
tary Daniels what the White House
announced to be sane, reasonable
and practical program OF national
defense, army and navy officials are
busy assembling the information
upon which the new military policy
will be founded,
No announcement has been made as
60 what the army and navy boards at
work on the needs OF the respective
services have concluded. but Il is defi-
nitely known that navy plans conteni-
plate n big increase in submarines; the
building OF thirty. ana perhaps fifty, be-
ing recommended; that several battle
cruisers will be urged and at least four
dreednoughts. and there viii be an ef.
fort made 60 increase the auxiliary fleet
and navy aircraft. Several additional
small navy yards 20 serve as submarine
bases will be suggested, II IL thought.
Such program would carry with Il
an increase in the navy personnel and
probably the enlargement OF the naval
academy at Annapolis, where navy off,
GERS are trained.
Army plans look to the building up OF
an army OF bco.ooO regulars and militia
within territorial United States.
To make the plan efficient II IL believed
some scheme 10 fcderalise the militia
will be advanced, and also that methods
OF building up reserves for both the reg

GERMANS LOSE IN THE WEST

LONDON, July 2e.--only the
northern point Of the pincers, which
the Austro-Germans for more than
4 week have been trying to close
around Warsaw and the Russian
armies in the Polish salient, has
made any progress during the last
few days. This point has forced
its way across the Narew river be-
tween the fortresses OF Puitusk and
Rozan and is advancing toward the
Bug river, which stands for the
greater part Of the way between It
and the warsaw-vilna railway. It's
objective.
The other point. which Field Marshal
Won Msckenzen Is directing at tho Chelm-
Lublin railway. has hardly gained a
yard Of ground since II reached the vii
lage OF Reiovetz, Just south Of the rail-
way.

zens flank along the Bug river from the
east OF Cheim TO east of L.emberg Be-
tween Krylow and sokal their attacks
have been particularly severe. compelling
the Germans to send reinforcemsnts,
probably intended to support Won Mack
enzen. TO meet them.
Along the vistula to the south and
west of Warsaw there has been no change
except in some positions evacuated by the
Russians when they drew in their line.
While Warsaw Is under heavy pressure,
the Austro-Germans have lot of stiff
work before them ~ they are to bring
their operations TO a successful ending
by its capture.
Attacks I'm North Dangerous.
Many are OF the opinion that the most
dangerous attacks at the moment are
those which are being made in the
provinces of Courland, Kovno and Grod-
no. at the lines Of communication be-
tween Warsaw and the northern in
terror Of Russia. Those attacks are
being delivered for the most part by
cavalry and will doubtless be met in
due time by the conceHtratlon OF Cos
sacks in these regions.
The French report another SUCCESS In
the region OF vosges. where they claim
to have taken more than 300 unwounded
prisoners. The Germans admit the loss
Of a portion of their trenches there.
There is no diminution in the Italian
offensive along the Isonso river, which
the Italians say is proceeding favorably
for them, but which the Austrlans de-
clare is meeting with no success.

FEEDING OF LAMBS
TO TAKE ON WEIGHT
Interesting Experiment to Be Under
taken by the University of Ne
braska Annual Experts.
WHAT is TO BE ESTABLISHED

The college of agriculture Of the
University Of Nebraska is beginning
an experiment in connection with the
feeding Of lambs on a scale that is
expected to determine some practical
results as to summer and fall feed
ing of lambs. Prof. II. ]. Gramlich
of the department OF animal hus-
bandry, speaking Of this undertak-
ing. says:
I'VE have just purchased a carload OF
Idaho lambs here at, the university and
expect to start them on experiment within
the next few weeks. The purpose of this
experiment will be to obtain figures on
the cost of producing 100 pounds Of gain
on dry feed compared with producing It
where various pasture crops are used in
conjunction with corn.
How they Will Feed.
"a field Of corn has been seeded to
rape and ono group OF the lambs will be
fattened in this field. An adjoining field
Of corn, planted and cared for under iden-
tically the same conditions. but not
seeded to rape, win furnish the feed for
second group Of the lambs. A third
group will be on blue grass pasture. with
medium feed Of corn. A fourth group
will have a medium feed of corn and ac-
cess 10 both a blue grass pasture and a
rape pasture. A fifth group OF the lambs
will be put in dry lot with shelied corn
and alfalfa hay for ration. sixth
group will be put in . dry lot and fed
corn and corn silsge. A seventh group
will be fed on shelled corn with rape
pasture for roughage and an eighth group
will be put on n ration OF corn and oil

''The experiment win probably continue
until November For many years the
popular belief has been that gains could
be made much cheaper on any class Of
