Incoming cargoes of fruits should be closely observed for traces of poison ous insecticides. Growers are not al ways careful to remove all traces of sprays before marketing their fruit Housekeepers can protect themselves from danger from this source by wash ing all fruit in several waters before serving it.

BRITISH REPORT Says ALL
GERMAN ATTACKS FAILED

London, April %, 11.30 A, NJ
There was given out in London this
morning the regular semi-weekly re-
port on conditions at the front. 1t is
dated April % and reads:
"The German attacks on Hill No
T60, which had stopped at the time of
issuing the report of last Monday,
have been renewed several times.
These attacks all failed, and for the
lime being they have ceased. We hold
the entire crest of the hill and so deny
its use to the enemy, who have at
tached great Importance to it.
"There is not and there never has
been any truth in the German official
communication that the enemy had re-
captured this position. During the
operations around hill No. 60, the
enemy fred shells seventeen inches in
diameter into the town of Yypres.
"On April p, in the neighborhood
of La Bassee, the enemy exploded two
mines opposite our right. They failed
to damage our trenches, having dis
covered German mining operations in
the neighborhood of LIE Tourquet, near
Armentieres, we forestalled their ef-
tort this morning by exploding mine
which we had prepared there.
ION April 19 one of our armen

single handed attack on an airship

gauntlet of fire from the ground, erect

tack his objective. In spite of this he

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

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 COM
mon mulsified cocoanut oil, for this
is pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
ylather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
Git must be mulsifed, plain cocoa.
nut oil will not do at any phar-
macy, and few ounces will supply
every one in the family for months.
