When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, >cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

New BrunswieL, n. j., May 4.-The
Nixon Nitration Company, under the
direction Of Lewis Nixon, former ship
builder and Tsnmany man, at Melville,
has proved a mecca for the unemployed.
Men from all parts Of the country are
coming here TO look for work at the
plant, and most Of them have been
hired. The company, only recently es-
tablished, is to supply powder for some
of the belligerents in Europe.
Within three months there have been
erected three large structures-not of
the usual tin variety so common for
powder mills, but substantial buildings
of heavy tile and masonry. These are
scattered along the north bank Of the
Raritan There are seven smaller
buildings. Within ten days the build
ings will be inclosed enough for the
actual nitration 10 be begun.
That the company holds contracts
which will take at least three years to
fill was admitted yesterday by Mr..
Nixon, who is taking actual charge OF
the construction.
Already 500 men are at work. and IL
is understood that the number will
reach 1000. Those in charge at the
plant intend % operate three shifts
continuously.
