DON'T USE SOAP
 ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't use soap. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes. the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulslfied cocoanu. oil, for it is pure and entirely greasaless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces Will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moistsn the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all that is required It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and r.nses ont easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to handle. Besids, it loosens and takes
 out every particle of dust, dirt ant dandruff.

FALL ARMY WORM IS
 REPORTED IN TEXAS
Government Warns Farmers to Be Prepared to Meet Attacks of
 Destructive Pest.

Washington. July S.-Tne presence oi the fall army worm is reported in southern and central Texas and there is every reason to believe that it will work it's way northward as the sea son advances. Farmers in the line of it's march, therefore, are being warn ed by specialists in the United States department of agriculture to keep q sharp eye upon their crops, especial ly alfalfa, corn and the sorghums in order to prevent the pest from getting a start upon them. When they first appear the worms are very small and feed beneath mattd grass, etc, but they grow rapidly and suddenly mi grate in myriads to the, corn or sorghum fields. If the ground be- tween the corn rows is grassy the worms will probably originate there and feed there until partly grown be- fore attacking the corn. Ther" Is danger therefore that before the farmer is aware of their presence he will fin dbis corn stripped to bare stalks and his alfalfa to bare stems.
 Where a close examination of a corn field shows the presence of the fall army worm actually attacking the corn, the department of agriculture recommends. dusting the plants with powdered arsenate of lead, using from three to, five pounds per acre, mixed with two, or three times it's, weight of flour.

For Five Hours and 30 Min utes He Meets Attack of
 Prosecutor.
TRIAL IS NEARING END
Condition of Evelyn NeSbit ThaW Makes It Improbable That She Can Be Forced to Take stand Against
 Her Husband.

New York, July S.-Elarry ThaW took the witness stand in his own be-
 half at the jury trial of his sanity
 before Justice Herdrick today, and for five hours and 30 minutes skilfully resisted the insidious onslaughts of Assistant Attorney-General Cook. At times the combat was thrilling. Thaw seemed now and then to be breaking-his eyes opened wide, his face twitched. and he was apparently at loss for the word to meet Cook S thrust. Then he gripped himself resolutely, paused, smiled-and round | ed his answer with perfect sense and reason.
 When the end of the afternoon ses- sion came. he was plainly fatigued. There were deep lines in his face, and 1 he was perspiring freely and breath l ing labOriously from the eXertion of l his efforts. But he insisted on pro- ceeding to the end of his examination at the night session, which was or
 dered and only the intervention of his l counsel and the refusal of the court prevented him from battling in to the I night.
 It Was uSEoCu OI ctil SlueS ludt 1udW had made the most effective plea for | liberty that has been uttered for him since his commitment to Matteawan. At the end of the day, his whole | life had been covered eXhaustively down to the shooting of Stanford | White. Tomorrow morning, Cook | will attack Thaw upon that line, and l here will come the supreme test He | will probably continue on the stand most of tomorrow.
 Information from Chateauguay
 Lake tonight made it extremely i'm
 probable that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit | Thaw, because of illness, will be l able to appear at the trial. In this
 event, her testimony at the last l habeas corpus proceedings will be
 read and Thaw will be the last wit
 ness of the trial, with the exception
 of the states alienists.
 The case will probably go to the jury Tuesday night.
