USE COCOANUT OIL
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 alkali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fled cocoauut oil (which is pure and
entirely zreaseless). is much bet
ter than soap or anything else you
can use for shampooing. a. this
cant possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub It in. Ono or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich. creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly- Tho lather rinses out cas-
liz, and removes every particle Of
dust. dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to
Iiianage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap. and 4 few ounces is enough

Necks Are High or Low.

None OF the designers insist upon the
high neck as they did in the winter.
They are too wise. They recognize the
limitations of the American woman's
patience in hot weather. and therefore
give her low neck to make her com
Portable. II, however. the neck is
scrawny and needs to be covered for
beautys sake, then fashion comes for
ward with enthusiasm and shows the
way to high hecks that bear the I'M
press of the coinage of spring, 1915.
The blouse shown in the sketch today
is an evidence of how fashion takes
care of the women with long, thin
necks in giving them Bernhard ruche
that mounts to the ears. It is made Of
white chiffon held at the neck line by a
ribbon of black velvet. The blouse is
also Of white chiffon cloth worn over a
low corset cover of biege taffeta. This
undergarment. by the way. Is worth
knowing about. Its possession saves
trouble.
The Pierrot effect of the blouse is
further enhanced by large black velvet
buttons down the front with frills of
the fabric on each side and founced
wrists caught by knots Of black velvet
ribbon. This blouse is made for a
white gabardine suit for the early
spring season in the country. where
New York sends most of it's fashion

life of sport begins.

consequence his attention was ailin-
Gated from the theme and the princi-

COmte and Flesher, always contrive
to enhance their offerings with unus?

Bobby Burnt, by his fathers will,
inherits three hundred thousand dol
lars, which, the will stipulates, he
must invest Having had no business
experience, Bobby is at loss how to
proceed until his sweetheart, Agnes
Elliston, persuades him to take over
the John Burnt stores.
Sam Stone, a schemer and dishon-
est promoter, learns of Bobby's in
heritance and, through the connivance
of Bobby's lawyer, sells him the Bright
Light power plant.
Silas Trimmer, owner of the Trim
mer stores, has long cherished a desire
to gain control of the Burnt stores,
and induces Bobby to consolidate the
two corporations. Immediately the
consolidation occurs, Trimmer issues
new stock and gains control of the
enterprise.
Biff Bates, an old pal of Bobby's oy-
erhears stones plan to wreck the
Bright Light. and, only by taking mat
ters in his own hands, is he able to
Illustrate Stone.
Stone and Trimmer combine to rob
Bobby, but Johnston, trusted clerk
of Bobhy's father, secures the aid of
the Daily Bulletin, and the following
day the Bulletin prints a story of the
doings of the two crooks.
Bobby plans with Biff Bates, to pick
a quarrel with Trimmer's son. Biff
pretends to be fatally injured and the
younger Trimmer sells his stock to
Bobby to prevent his being exposed as
the murderer of Bates.
Agnes overhears a plot between
Stone and the men and warns Bo.Jy.
Bobby rescues Agnes, secures control
of the stores and causes the arrest of
the bribed politicians. Agnes then
delivers a letter to Bobby written by
his father before his death. 1t read

MUST FIND A MARKET.
Mcl.aurin Discusses Action OF BOard

"
Columbia, Aug, 4.-John L. Nc
Laurin, State warehouse commission
er, gave out the following statement:
Il am very much gratified to see
the Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing the arrangements which
have been perfected by the federal
reserve board for financing cotton
Those who are interested will re-
member that issued to the press a
statement on December 9 in which
| expressed the opinion that the
treasury department had the power
to finance the cotton crop.
1T occurs to me now that the
United States is on solid basis
about financing the cotton.
THE next step should be to find q
market for it. If the channels of
ocean freight are to be interrupted,
as it now seems most certain they
VIII be until the end Of the war, why
SOuiN iiot TIC SoNtTHlIleHC Duy, say
100000 bales of low grade cotton
for use in making explosives?
SIT is plainly evident that the
United States is on the eve Of getting
itself on strong military basis and
that a lot Of cotton will be needed in
making explosives. 1t would be q
business policy to buy now, for it
may never be bought more cheaply
than at the present. The government
could afford to buy 100000 bales.
This also ought to appeal to the
English government. l believe that
1t should be brought to the attention
of the British government and show
them that 1t is to their interest in a
business way to relieve the present
tension that they buy large quantity
Of American cotton"

On Friday last the first symptoms were
observed, and although from the first
it was realized that the case was hope

VICTIM ny RATTLESNAKE.


Little Girl l. yes 1T Hours After BEING
Bitten.
Walterboro, Aug. 3.-The two-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Annie Garris,
of Round, this county, met with a
horrible death yesterday, the result
of rattlesnake bite on Sunday. The
child, it seems. was going down a
path in some weeds and the snake
apparently was lying across the path,
the child stepping on it. The strike
was fair, hitting the child in the large
toe, and making a deep wound, from
which blood was pouring when assist =
ance came. The leg was corded, pro-
longing the life of the child for twen-
ty-four hours. Had this not been
done, the doctors state, death would
have resulted in ten minutes. The
snake was Il male, and the male rat
tlesnake, unlike the female, has no
rattles, thus giving no warning of it's
deadly strike.
When it was attempted to kill the
snake 1T put up a fierce fight, and two
men were required to kill it, and then
with considerable danger to them
selves. This is the first fatality of its
kind in the county for several years,
and the age of the child makes it the
more sad
