USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better
Most soaps and prepared cham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Just
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle Of
dust dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last every one in the fam
lily for months.

cred before the members of the Drama
League who held a meeting last night
in the MorrissonReeves library when
six Of the members read Lady Greg
ory's play, entitled "Hyacinth Halvey'
and Mrs. H. r. Robinson read "a paper
on The Modern Drama
Mrs. Robinson classified and com
mented among various dramas now in
the public eye and gave illustrations
of those which have gained most
prominent place. She also remarked
upon the Little Theatre of New York
Her paper was unusually interesting
and was accorded attention and appre-
citation.
The reading of Lady Gregory's play
by six members of the league was also
entertaining and was heard with deep
est attention.

BELLIES OF LONDON
STUDY FOR SERVICE

LONDON, June 1.-The serious re-
sponsibilities of war have been ac-
copied by no class in England more
readily that by the young matrons and
girls of the aristocracy, who, a year
ago were bellies of the bathrooms and
debutantes at court. Many of them
are training at the big London hos
pitfalls, entering as students for regu-
lar work, doing the mental work that
goes with every nurses training, and
fitting themselves to go back to their
homes and transform them into hos
pitfalls for wounded soldiers.
Princess Mary had quite tiff with
her mother on her eighteenth birthday
anniversary a few weeks ago when
she expressed the wish to become a
nurse like the daughters of the Car.
Queen Mary, however, stood firm, and
the young princess most reluctantly
had to give in, although she asked
Dowager Queen Alexandra, as head of
the British Red Cross society, to plead
her cause. People at court say that
she is now more Disguised than ever
with being a royal princess.

but of men. The vast scale on
which this war is being fought pre-
vents it being decided by any one
great decisive action-the campaign
against Russia by Germany has
proved that. The great nations en-
gagged in this war have such vast re-
sources back of them that all talk Of
defeat through exhaustion is absurd
Defeat will come through lack of
men to put into the line. When the
fighting line thins out beyond GER
tain minimum with which it can be
held, the enemy will break through,
communications will be cut, and the
whole line of an embattled nation
will be thrown back in defeat. The
Allies realize this, and they are
fighting their fight upon this basis.
The central powers have enormous
numbers of men. True; but the
Allied powers have vastly greater
number = and the fighting of
the war has proved that there
is very little to choose in point
of bravery between the opposed
forces. Hence the inevitable sequel
the collapse sooner or later, and
rather later than sooner, of the CEN
trail powers for lack of men to put in
the fighting line
If this deduction prove true,
It only makes the conflict the
more horrible to contemplate
and emphasizes the demand that
very human agency beyond the
countries engaged as we'll as within
hem should be brought to bear to
top the need less slaughter of good
neu.

The Fine Art of Hospitality.

No hostess should invite friends to
stay at her home unless she thoroughly
understands how to make them COM
| Portable. The art Of hospitality may
be acquired, however, even when the
natural aptitude is wanting.
The perfect hostess does not over
entertain her guests. She makes it her
duty to study the preferences of those
whom she has invited. She does not
ask them to drive, walk or play ten
mis- when they prefer, perhaps. to read,
write or do other things Nor does
she ask them to arise at unusual hours.
AT English country homes the Gus
tom OF visiting is systematic Guests
are asked for certain number of
days. and they are expected to leave
on the last morning. A guest arriving
after the luncheon hour seldom sees
the hostess until the dinner assem-
blage. A well trained maid conducts
the guest to well arranged room.
serves tea or some simple refreshment
and informs the newcomer of the din
ner hour. The American hostess man
ages her establishment in a less cere-
monlous manner. She frequently drives
to meet the guest and though she NAV
nave retinue of servants. often per-
sohally conducts her friend to h>r
room.

SchooIroom Humor.

There is more humor in the
schoolroom than in the press or
theater, some one has said. The
youth who described a volcano as
"a mountain where the world busts
through" and the crater as Sthe
place where it splits out" had his
facts, though he clothed them in
somewhat unusual terms. There
was plcturesqueness too in the small
boys description of a natural his
tory museum as "a dead circus"
And Joy was brought to the heart
Of Mark Twain by the sentence,
There's great many donkeys in
theological gardens"
Sometimes, Of course, the pupil
will come to grief, especially in
cases when one is asked to define a
word and then use it. One attempt
ran thus: "Despot--a ruler that is
feared. Me teacher swatted me wild
her despot."

CURlOSITIES OF THE POLE.
Where There Is No Time at All and
Yet IL Is All Hours

Let us imagine ourselves at the
north pole. 1t is June 81, longest
day in the year and the summer
solstice. The thin rayed sun, high
in the heavens as he can climb in
that cherries land of no latitude or
longitude, is revolving at height
Of % degrees above the horizon just
once in every twenty-four hours,
but never ascending or descending.
He merely keeps ringing it around
the sky.
What time is it.?
There is no time at all. 1t is all
hours. If you walk down any me-
ridian you can pick the time you
want it to be-any time from mid
night of one day to midnight of the
next, with any hour in between, day
or night. You would never need a
watch.
Suppose you want it noon. Just
step off toward the sun wherever it
happens to be. In one step it is
noon for you. Take two steps back
ward and it will be midnight.
But if you can pick any time you
wish you cannot pick any direction.
Here at home you may go east, west,
north, south or any direction in be-
tween. Not so at the pole-no-
where to go but south. All direc-
ton is lost To you now. However,
after one step you have your choice
of any direction, though now you
haven't your choice Of time, but
must stick to the time of the partic-
ular meridian on which you have
set foot.
At step you can change the
date. You always have the power
to make Monday Sunday or vice
versa. BY common consent the one
hundred and eightieth meridian in
the Pacific ocean has been recog-
nized as the point on the earth's
surface where the day is gained or
lost in going around the earth. You
have the one hundred and eightieth
meridian within step at all times.
50 by crossing it you may modify
your week at will, stepping from
sunday to Monday or from Monday
Jack to Sunday.

to say nothing about the
God and warmth, and remained '
here a whole year you would see c

with the bounties of life such as
Idaho affords.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fike were married
at Waterloo, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1865, in
a log house close to the city. In
those days railroads we're scarce,
and after the wedding they took 25
mile stage ride which brought them
to the BRIDES home in Benton county,
Iowa.
They began housekeeping at Full
ton, ILL.,, and after two years moved
again to Garrison, Iowa, where they
remained until the spring of 1878,
when they moved on a farm close to
Waterloo.
At this place they lived until the
fall of 1897, when they left for Nez-
perez, Idaho, where they have since
continuously resided.
Their matrimonial journey, like
most experiences, had its sorrows as
we'll as it joys, three of their daugh-
tiers having died while quite young.
There are six children living
four here, B. j., A. R., F. w. and
c. c., and daughter, Mrs. Fannie

The foregoing letter refers, in his

at Mr.. McRae's residence in this
city about 4 80 p. m. last Monday,

laddies was confined principally to
the kitchen, between the ceiling and

which adjoins the main building on

smoke when the fire company arrived
and the flames had broken through

was soon quenched, however.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
