Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II yom want to keep your hair in good
condition. the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle. and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less). is 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
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich. creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinses out cas-

To free your summer-soiled skin Of it's
muddiness. freckles. blotches or tan. the
best thing to do Is to free yourself of the
skin Itself. This Is easily accomplished
by the use of ordinary mercolized wax,
which can be had at any drug store.
Use at night as you use cold cream,
washing 1t off In the morning Imme-
diately the offending surface skin be-
gins to come off in fine powder-like
particles. Gradually the entire cuticle
Is absorbed, without pain or incon-
venience. The second layer of skin
now in evidence presents a spotiess
whiteness and sparkling beauty obtain
able In no other way I've ever heard Of.
II the heat tends to loosen and
wrinkle your skin. there's an effective
and harmless remedy you can readily
make at home. Just let an ounce Of
powdered saxolite dissolve in a half
pint witch hazel and bathe your face in
the liquid. This at once tightens the
skin and smoothes out the lines. maxi

In part. by studying the summer
schoo! series to be published by The
Washington Times, and by following
the course prescribed therein.
For. according to Mrs. Henrietta
w. Calvin. specialist In home eco
nomics, and author Of one of the
pamphlets Of the series. the course,
although designated as the aid for
teachers. is also the ultimate aid to
the mother. since the end OF all of
the work carried on by the Bureau
Of Education. the source Of these
articles, is the home.
One Of the most important functions
Of the United States Government
ment which, though lately organized.
has grown to be one of the most i'm
portant branches of governmental
research work.
From this bureau come the summer
school letter series which The Times
will publish on these pages, and as
an introduction to which Mrs. Calvin
has permitted an interview.
Help To the Home.
"Since this bureau is designed pri-
marily as help to the home. the fiEal
depth, the last unit in a national ex-
istence," she said. 1T Is necessary
that every parent and teacher in this
country understand the quality Of.
and be able to utilize the means.
which the National Government has
put within his or her reach.
THE series which The Times will
print Is garnered from many Of the
departments Of the Bureau Of Edu-
cation. Every department which has
any particular phase which will bear
upon the teacher. or the parent as
tribute the same in printed form to
the series.
The series on summer schools
was primarily intended for teach
ers. but I can readily see how 1t
adapts itself to instruction In the
home. bv the mother. The ordinary
taught children by environment.
Once the ball is started rolling in the
right direction. II Is apt to continue
provided the example of the parents
" Is within the bounds Of propriety.
and this leaves the mother largely
free to teach the child according to
his ability from some pre-arranged
plan.
Summer School Letters.
This plan the Bureau of Educa-
tion supplies In the way Of the series
of summer school letters, only one Of
which was prepared by me and by
Miss Lyford. Of this same office.
These letters explain themselves;
they are guides. aids, but. perhaps.
1t might be we'll to explain their
origin to the teacher or the mother
who makes up her mind to avail her.

Research work is the basis Of
this department of the Government.
BY research. endless and untiring, in
the course of which the methods Of
every government on the face Of
the earth are brought together and
compared. the bureau is able to pre-
sent the very best possible sugges-
