WORLD SUPPLY Of OIL
IN EXCESS Of DEMAND
0verproduction in United States and
Mexico Halts Search
for Deposits.

That on account Of the European war
and the great overproduction of oil in
both the United States and Mexico ac-
tivity throughout the world in the
search for petroleum deposits fell on
to a considerable extent during the
latter half of the year 1914 is the In
formation contained in a bulletin Just
issued by the United States geological
survey. The Same applies to develop
ment work already undertaken.
From an analysis of the oil situation
in various parts Of the world made by
John d. Northrop of that survey 1t is
learned that attempts in Canada to re-
tard the declining oil output or that
Dominion were largely unsuccessful
The oil industry of Mexico was greatly
interfered with by the exodus OF op-
orators and workmen In April last, out
it picked up, however. toward the close
Of the year, owing to the Resumption
Of Oil consumption by the railroads ana
mining companies of the country.
Promising oil Indications were found IN
British Somaliland. on the south side
of the Gulf Of Alden: in northern Spain
petroleum was discovered In small
quantities in boring for salt. and In
the republic Of Columbia the discovery
both Of petroleum and natural gas at
Tubara, near the Caribbean seaport OF
Baranquilla. indicates the DEVELOPMENT
of an important oil field in close prox-
unity to the Panama canal.
Among countries. colonies and is
lands the oil situation In which is given
publicity by the geological survey are
ECUADOR. Peru. Bolivia, Chile. Argen-
tina, Venezuela, Russia, Roumania'
Austria Hungary, Turkey. Persia, In
dia, China. Japan. Borneo. Java, Su,

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. 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 shampooing. as this can't
possibly injure 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 1t leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap. and a few ounces Is enough
to last every one in the family for
months.

LIKE A HARBOR OF SAFETY
Man Who Reaches the Age of Thirty
May Congratulate Himself on
Many Things.

A medical lecturer recently declared
that in many ways thirty is the critical
age in the average mans life. Once
you reach thirty you have outgrown
many serious diseases. On the 9TH
er hand, you become liable to many
others that seldom or never attack
people In the teens or twenties.
Anemia, for instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. II you have not
had 1t by then you never will. If you
have, you will have outgrown 1t at
thirty or so. Acne, too-that spotti-
ness of complexion so common among
young people, Is certain to have van.
ished by then.
Thirty, too, sees you out Of the
reach of the gravest OF all diseases,
consumption. If you have shown no
sign Of it by then in all probability
you never will. If you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their first
attacks on anyone who has reached
thirty.

the king of England in response to a

Bank Notes Made Of Silk.

Bank notes made of silk of par

is known, most Of the expert bank-note

Discovered by a woman, this In
