Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if 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 it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cScoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two tablespoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t 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
it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adver-

Japanese Iron Ore Resources.

Actuated by the greatly increased
demand for iron and steel, the Jap
anese department of agriculture and
commerce has been investigating
sources of ore supply, and according
to a report issued on the subject the
main source of ore supply within the
empire proper is the Kamaishi mine,
the deposit of magnetic ore there be-
ing estimated at 100000 tons. Depos-
its of similar ore are estimated to to-
tai between 100000 and 100000 tons
from mines in the provinces of Riku-
chu, Echigo, Iwaki, IwashirO, KOzuke,
YamatO, Harima and Mimaska. De
pOsits of red-iron ore, estimated to to-
tai about 100000 tons, are located
in the provinces of Echigo, Rikuchu,
Tosa, HyOgo, Rikuzen and Izumo.
Brown iron ore deposits, believed to
total 100000 tons, bring the esti-
mated aggregate total to about 81, 1000.
600 tons for the islands alone.

POISONING by Varnisf1,

The enormously increased produc-
hon of aeroplanes during the war
lends point to warning regarding
the varnish employed. At the aero
plane works in Johannisthal a number
of workmen employed in the varnish-
ing department were taken seriously
i'll, and two deaths resulted. The most
important system was jaundice due
to decomposition of the blood. On in
vestigation the cause was found to be
poisoning by tetrachlorethane, the only
solvent known for the highly cOmbus-
tib1e acetylcellulose. These accidents
led to an order forbidding the use of
solvents containing a high percentage
of tetrachlorethane.

Shinninu Box of Steel.
ago,

A shipping box of steel instead of
wood has been made by an American
manufacturer in order to reduce the
amount of damage sustained by goods
in shipment from theft in transit. 1t
is almost unbreakable and entirely
thief-proof. The cOntainer consists of
five sides and the lid. The sides are
made of three-ply steel, and so hinged
that the container can be folded fiat
when not in use. 1t is provided with
handles, which normally rest in re-
cesses so as not to interfere with the
piling of the boxes. The steel con-
tainer is UNNECESSARILY stronger than
those of wood, while comparison with
fiber boxes is quite impossible.
