ance equal to those of the United

porter for the pensions committee

adds. will carry such heavy apprOp-
riations as to exercise IA greater in
fuence-socal and political-than
all the social legislation of recent
years.
Two important reforms are pro-
posed in pension bills that the COM
mittee has reported favorably. The
pensions of widows are to be in
creased proportionately to the num-
Der of orphans and pensions will be
granted to mothers for the loss of
sens who were their main support.
The rates provided for the new
law are from sos francs ts112) for
widows of private soldiers running
from that figurethromgh the various
grades mp to $3.50 francs sl,050)
year for the widow of a general of
division: these figures being subject
to increase in the case of orphans.
If the soldier or officer died OF
wounds not received in battle or of
disease contracted while on duty the
pensions run from 375 francs ts75)
to $500 francs ts70O) a year.
No statistics of the number killed
and MANNED in the French army are
available TO the public but the indi-
cations given by Monsieur Masse.
who knows, are to the effect that
Frances pension burden will be
heavier than that of the United
States after the Civil War.

Soap Is Bad
For the Hair

Soap should be used very sparingly.
IL at all, If you want ito keep your hair
looking at it's best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkalt. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
In. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
OF the family for months.
