any blocks in which responses are not
made, the committee expects to wait
on these merchants and ask them to
serve.
A good many/of the local merchants
are realizing the value Of their store

the chance to get acquainted with the
people Of the community.

from many of the club women through

DEALERS IN RUBBER INTEREST

REMOVAL.
3. g. Work, Representing Trade Or
CARNATIONS, Will Request British
to Permit Raw Product Of Cey-
Ion and Malay States to
Come Here.

Dealers in rubber goods tires, as
well as those in the automobile indus
try, are interested In efforts being
made by the Rubber Club of America
and the Rubber Trade association OF
| New York to induce the British gov
eminent to lift the embargo on the
deportation of rubber from the British
colonies insofar as that embargo ap.

Work OF the Goodrich Rubber com.
pany left for England Wednesday on
board the Lusitania Of the Cunard
line to confer with Representatives of
the British government. Mr.. Work
was designated as the official repre-
sentative Of the Rubber Club OF
America and the Rubber Trade asso-
citation Of lew York
The Importance attached to the
negotiations to be conducted by Mr.
Work was explained yesterday by
Howard E. Raymond. vice president
of the Goodrich Rubber company.
The finer grades of rubber" he
said. come either from Brazil or the
Island of Ceylon and the Malay states
Ceylon or the Malay state are British
colonies, and therefore the embargo
of the British government places a
ban on the exrortation of the rubber
Of those two colonies to the United
States. This leaves us with only Bra
iii to supply us with the finer grades
Of rubber, and the supply from that
country is wholly inadequate for
American consumption.
1.-THE ostensible objection Of the
British government in placing the en-
barge on the expectation Of rubber is
to keep that product from getting in
to the hands Of Germany and Austria
But it hits the United States as badly
as either OF these countries. We are
trying to arrange 1t so that Ceylon
and the Malay states can export their
rubber to this country in order to sup
ply the legitimate needs of this coun.
try. AS yet we have been unsuccess-
full. but we hope the difficulties may
be solved in satisfactory manner"
Crude rubber is selling in New
York at about ninety cents a pound, |
while in England the price is fifty-one

Washington, SC, Dec. s, 1913: "All'
over my body were small pimples which
itched me SO that could just grab
my flesh and tear it apart. For three
weeks could not sleep at night until

everything that was supposed to give
relief, and can truthfully say that NOT

ing to make the --LATEST, tamest fail
ure ever made in this world. 1t won't
even have the splash and splutter Of

thrilling horror Of a man engulfed in

And that was all the nerve and
strength and hope and courage there

such a wife as Carrie Burdette just

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

IF you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared si1ampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsiied.
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaselessj, is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampocing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water, and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfu1s will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get nulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.
