Hair Often Ruined
by Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully.
II you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle. and ruins il.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless) and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moiston the hair with water and
rub u in. II makes an abundance of
rich. creamy lather. which rinses out
easily. removing every particle OF
dust. dirt. dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly. and
IL leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky. bright. lustrous, fluffy
and easy TO manage.
You can get mulslfed coconut oil
al any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
her Of the family for months.

divorce suits, black eyes and contu-

a trustful unsuspecting married man
has been set upon by high temper
and covered with deep aching dents
which had to be attributed to being
tripped up by the coal hod. Life is
full of such self-sacrifce as this, and
yet wherever he goes the married man
IS reviled and maligned and labeled
as a Grass, calf-bound joke
There are two kinds of temper
sweet and sour. The former of these
two is to be preferred, as it does not
shatter so many pre-nuptial dreams
or nose glasses. A sweet temper is
more useful in the average home than
the self dumping flour bin. If bride
gro0ms would look more at the temper
of a tall, muscular fancee and less at
the real estate owned by her father
there would be fewer husbands carry

sweet temper may never have an eff

the rough spots and smoothing the
fur of husband who comes home with
his back arched like a pussy cat.

The Canadians have responded nobly

to discredit the statement that there

5000 young Canadians eligible for ar
my service who have crossed the Dor

that there is a shortage of laborers to

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Barber s
uncertainty about the kind of build

Nam street property does not mean
that he is thinking seriously of put
ting up wooden structure, for there
IS little doubt that such a plan would
meet with strong opposition among
other property owners through
out the business section of the town.
For a long time Flat street has been
one of Brattleboro s conspicuous fire
hazards, the wooden buildings on it
being so many and so close together
| as to increase the insurance rates on
all adjoining property, even that of
| brick construction. This risk was
lessened considerably when Mosher &
Tucker s brick garage replaced the
wooden barns on the south side of the
street, and it is the duty of the towns
people to insist, in so far as they are
able, that nothing but freproot
building be erected on the site of the
old Ray and Judge properties The
chances are, however, that no contro
versy on this matter will be necessary
since Mr.. Barber cannot be so short
sighted as to think seriously of putin.

Well-earned rest. OverwOrk and loss
of sleep are responsible for most of
the sour temper which now litters up
the domestic hearth One peculiar
thing about this kind of temper is
that it will lie perfectly quiet for
several days without showing a spark
of vitality, and then if dinner is de-
layed for four minutes will explode
with roar like blowout in a 81 bv
tire. This accounts for the wan,
plnched look on the faces of SO MANY
wives who were once blushing brides,
but who cannot blush with success any
more without four layers of waterproof
rouge
Temper is occasionally found in con-
siderable quantities in children. and

allow child to grow up harboring an
aggressive, twO-fisted temper, when a
few applications of a red shingle would
render it as docile and law abidiug

is serious doubt in the minds of many
