COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

IF you 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 en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
sfampooing, as this can't possibly in-
jurc the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it IN. One or two tea
spoonfuls 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 rnu1sihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

HISTORIC LouyAlN.

Describing the town hall OF LOU
vain. Belgium, which has been in the
hands of the Germans almost since
the beginning of the present war in
Europe, the National Geographic So
ciety has prepared the following
short sketch Of its history and archi-
lecture:
"The Hotel de Vile, or town hall,
is a very rich and beautiful example
Of late Gothic architecture. Though
built by the plant people Of city of
weavers and tradesmen it neverthe-
less is one of the most beautiful adj
ministration buildings in the world. 1t
has three facades lavishly enriched
with sculptures, melnorializing per-
sons prominent in the history of the
town and symbolizing the medieval
trades of that community.
There are three stories to the base
of its steep gable, and each story has
ten pointed windows in the principal
facade. At the base OF the gable runs
a richly designed gallery, from each
corner of which there scars an airy
open-work, slender tower. while there
are two similar towers at either end
of the gables ridge.
/ "Tb. structure stands In the Grand
Place, square in the center of the
town, from which the principal
streets radiate. 1t Is an achievement
worthy of belonging to mankind, and
/ its loss would be humanity's loss as
were those OF the acropolitan master
pieces of Athens and of Diaaa's
temple at Ephesus. It's beauty may
border on the verge OF over-acOrn
ment but it is still such that the civil
lized world cannot afford to lose it,"

March came in like lamb, not a
real little one, but quite mild and
pleasant, and according to an old
weather proverb, he will go out like
! a lion. Possibly like q tame lion. but
lion nevertheless. Had March
come with storm and buster on the
first day. the old prognosticators who
put much store in this saying would
have predicted ideal spring weather
for the last of the month.
Naturally every one would like to
know something about the weather
during the next six weeks, says the
Quincy Herald. Much cold weather
will mean a substantial increase to
the coal bill for the winter. Pleasant
weather will perhaps make the sup
ply in the coal bin do until the fur
mace needs no more attention.
| The lamb and lion forecast must be
classed with the legend OF the ground
hog. While science has found a
basis for many of the day-ahead fore
casts discovered by fishermen and
farmers. it has failed to prove any Of
the long range forecasts. because
such thing is impossible. W. J..

proyerb meterology is full OF it,
About the only seasonal proverbs
that are nationally founded are those
which predict a good year after a
cold winter with much snow. A
cold January is beneficial in prevent
ing too early developments in nature.
February this year. while not extreme
.ly cold, was not warm either, and
thus far vegetation has made little
progress. The sap has risen in the
naples; lilacs, always the first to
swell in the bud, show green, but not
sufficiently advanced to be injured by
cold weather.
One of the professional forecasters
who gets out a weather chart for a
patent medicine concern, outlines the
weather for March as follows: 1st to
4th, cold spell; 5th to 9th. storm per-
Tod; 10th to 18th pleasant spell: 18th
to 18th, rain wave; 10Th to 23rd,
windy period; oath to 9TH, warm
spell; 2sth to 31st, falling temporal
ture with killing frosts in northwest,
cold and frosty as far south as Nash
vile and Raleigh. For April he does
not predict frost at any time for this
section.
While this forecast is very agree
able, 1t would not be wise policy to
risk too much on it. Weather Is not
bound by rules and the brand we get
very often is quite different from that
promised by the man who specified
it for this day some time last sum-
Imer. March came in like lamb and
may be like good sheep all month,
and again it may bring US lot of
disagreeable weather and still go out
like a lamb. We will take it as it
comes, just as we and our fathers
before us did, and eventually we will
reiegate the lion and lamb and the
grounding legends to the story books
about ancient lore and superstition.

Over the floors OF azure
Wherever the wind flaws run.
Sparkling. leaping and racing,
Their antics scatter tho sun.
AS long as water ripples
And weather is clear and glad,
Day after day they are dancing,
Never a moment sad
But when through the field of heaven
The wings of storm take fight.
At the touch OF the flying shadows
They faiter and slip from sight.
Until, at the gray days ending,
AS the squadrons of cloud retire.
They pass in the triumph of sunset
With banners of crimson fire.

DANGER OF OVERsPECIALIzING

DR.. John S. Nollen, President of Lake
Forest University, in the Commence
ment address to the graduating class
of the Waukegan High School, the other
night, sounded note Of warning to
young people against overspecialization,
his idea being that the man who concen-
trates absolutely on learning one thing
to the extent of being unable to do any
thing else, is liable at later period in
life to find himself sidetracked and fill
ing some insignificant walk in life.
AS an illustration, he said: Fifteen
years ago, remember attending base
ball game between two of the best mines
in the National League. Ladies and
gentlemen, tell me what has happened to
the stars who performed to the applause
of the multitudes on that day. Today,
they cannot exercise themselves in the
one thing in which they were proficient.
The result-they probably can find
work as cheap politicians, or bar
tenders
In this age, when so much is heard
about the need of specializing, DR.. Mol
lens idea is unique, and at least affords
food for thought The man who is
thoroughly proficient along some certain
line has great advantage in life, if he
has specialized on the right thing; but
after all, it is the "all-round man" with
broad, general knowledge, who can
turn his hand to many things, if neces-
sary, who is always in demand.
