YOUR HAIR REQUIRES
An OIL SHAMPOO

Imagine plant trying to grow in

down upon it. It would soon die. That s
what dandruff does TO the delicate hair
plants. 1t seals up the top of the hair
cells and prevents new hair from coming
through and it smothers the roots Of the
old hair causing it to fall. Ordinary
soaps and shampoos contain free alkali
that cuts the natural oil of the hair and
dissolve5 the fatty roots of the hair which
when once destroyed cannot be restored.
EVERY WEEK ANTI SEPTIC OIL
SHAMPOO does not attack the natural
oil of the hair nor the hair roots. 1t

Rudgren, Liedtke and Murrin, City At

Wallace Treichler were present at in
vitation of the association. Owing to
illness Commissioner Juhl was unable
to attend.
For many months the association
has advocated opening of Eleventh

operation in steps looking towards the
extension of the highway to Rock river.
Owing to matters involving the terri
tory and its Improvements pending in
court city officials advised that the as
ISOLATION wait until such time as the
litigation was settled.
The matter was brought up last
night and number of property own
ers offered to dedicate property to the
city for the widening of the street.
Practically every property owner pres
ent was enthused over the plan and it
was stated at the meeting that the
increased 'lue the street would bring
to property in the new territory would
more than repay the free holders for
the land given.
Members of the Southwest Improve

street would be advisable to determine
the general sentiment among them as
to opening the street. 1t is believed
that practically everybody on the high

Property owners expressed concern
over drainage problems when the
Twelfth street paving is laid. The
question consumed the greater part of
discussion at the meeting. Property
owners asked that municipal authori-
ties cooperate with them in steps to
provide storm drains to carry the wa

! Decision on the storm drains was
reached later in the meeting. 1t is

will be adequate to carry all storm

two improvements when completed

PROFESSOR COBURN ON CORN
Many Years Before Purebred Corn
Can Be Developed.

F. D. Coburn, the great authority on
alfalfa and corn, says there is no
such thing as purebred corn, and in
Inmates that in his judgment it will
be hundreds of years before such a
thing can be developed.
1t has taken more than five hundred
years to bring about the present de-
velopment in purebred stock, and it
is only a few years since it was known
that plant life had any sexuality. We
have improved corn, more or less i'm
proved, but no purebred corn worthy
the name, and certainly none worth the
price some schemers ask for it.

MUCH PLANT FOOD REMOVED
Interesting Table Published by Expert
ment Station at Purdue Univer-
sity on Soil Elements.

One hundred bushels of corn remove
292 pounds of plantfood from the
ground, according to table published
by the experiment station at Purdue
university. OF this amount, 1913
pounds is contained in the ears and
124 pounds in the three tons of stover
which is the average amount produced
with 100 bushels of ear corn.
Besides this draft on the soil for the
production of corn crop, a large
amount of organic matter in the soil
is caused to decay or burn out with
the frequent cultivation given and by
teaching. Soils vary so much in their
losses at any one time and under sim
liar conditions that the other losses
can hardly be calculated with exact
ness. Since corn or any other crop
takes certain elements of plantfood
from the soil and leaves others re-
main, the problem of feeding the soil
consists in furnishing those elements
of plantfood which are needed.

them or fitted to their years and sizes.
But there is delightful picturesque
ness about their old shawls, the shoes
far too large, when existant at all, and
frankly lacking toe or upper; about
the enveloping skirts, the occasional
scarecrow hat-a wealth of gypsylike
color and most attractive abandon,
testifying to the fact that in the opin-
ion of these little people fine raiment
occupies but small and unimportant
place in the general scheme of the
universe.
And happy? Why. those sprites of
the refuse heaps are as cheerful and
joyous as if they were wading through
fields of wild flowers up in Westches-
ter county and chasing butterflies and
gathering early apples instead of
scurrying up hill of refuse and then
delving below its surface in the hope
of discovering a bit of china or a
silver teaspoon, an old watch chain or
other trinket that can be polished and
frightened and eventually sold.
Religious life on Barren island is
represented by two churches, wherein
services are held on Sunday. So far
as could be ascertained no resident
pastor has been assigned to Barren
island for many years, if ever. It
is cited as fruitful field for sincere
missionary effort by those orgariza-
tons of one denomination or another
which so generously provide medical
missionaries, teachers, preachers, as
well as schools, churches, chapels and
! hospital service for other islands than
Barren-isles of the South Pacific, for
example, as well as for Eskimcs of
the polar region, the inhabitants of
India. Central Africa and many others
in remote parts Of the world.
