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 slianipoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly IN
jure 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 latller
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 mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

shown a large falling off in produc-

shipments of Portland cement than
the corresponding period of the pre-

chard of the United States Geological
Survey, and the net result for 1914
was slight decrease in both produc-
ton and shipments the first yet re-

mills also decreased.
AT the beginning of 1915 there was
little new construction work in sight,
few cement manufacturers felt opti-
mistic concerning the outlook and
some even prophesied further de-
cline in volume of business for 1915.
The general developments of the
early months of 1915 were not such
as to dispel the glooms from all of
their lodging places. so that the rate
of production of many mills was cut
down below that of shipments in order
to effect partial clearance of the
large stocks that had accumulated
during 1914. In general, however,
ing the second quarter of 1915, the
rate of production of Portland cement
having gradually increased. and al
