Be Careful in Using
Soap on your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious. as 1t dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
si1ed cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure and en-
tirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any,
thing else all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in. about teaspoonful is all
that Is required. 1t makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather. cleanses thorough
ly and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft. fresh
looking. bright. fluffy, wavy. and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes

Miss Leola Perry, who is visiting rel
atives here. brings with her from An
con. Canal Zone, a most unusual pic
ture OF life at the leper colony on the
Island of Palo Seco.
While In Panama Miss Perry lives
with her sister, the wife Of DR.. Joseph
Parrot, superintendent Of the leper
colony. and makes many visits to the
settlement with no fear whatever.
II know Just what a depressing and
ghastly picture the novelists and the
dramatists have called forth on the
subject and what heroes and heroines
the doctors and nurses always make in
the story books when they sacrifice
their lives by pledging themselves to
the unfortunate lepers," she said. "As
a matter Of fact, nothing could possibly
be more untrue, at least of the Island
Of Palo Seco.
THE only men who ever came in per-
sonal contact with the lepers, l mean,
are some Jamaicans, who have the job
Of washing up the mess dishes. This
they do with rubber gloves.
"The colony is divided from the Par
rott home by deep ravine. Here the
lepers live to themselves. and no one
enters but the doctors, the servants, a
1aundress, a seamstress and such vis-
itors as may gain access by written
permission. The victims, some 250 in
number, come from throughout PAN

Women From Every
Cline to be Present
Episcopal Convention

Women from all over the United
States and from lands beyond the seas
will be present in thousands at the
General Convention Of the Episcopal
Church to be held at st. Louis in Oc-
tober. Each Of the 68 diocesan branches
of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board
Of Missions is entitled to send five del
egates to the Missionary conferences
and meetines connected with the Con-
vention a delegates will also be
present fr. China, Japan. Africa, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
Honolulu.
Their meetings will be held in the
Sheldon Memorial Building where. ev-
cry day, mission study classes will
meet, to be followed by conferences ad-
dressed by mission workers from all
parts of the world. At the noon hour
all work will be suspended for the Of
fering Of special prayers for Missions.
The climax will be the great service
to be held in Christ Church Cathedral
on October IL for the presentation Of
the Women's United Offering. During
the past three years the women OF the
Church have distributed thousands Of
Mite Boxes for small gifts to Missions.
These are opened twice a year and the
money is accumulated for the Trien-
nial United Offering. At this service
each diocese and missionary district
will place in the aims basin its gift.
The total at the General Convention Of
1913 was $306, 500, and it is expected that
~rv{n IN
Considerable rivalry exists between the
dioceses as to which makes the largest
contribution. In 1918 the diocese OF
Pennsylvania led the way with an Of
fering Of $4,000. The gifts are placed
in a magnificent silver-gilt aims basin
presented to the American Church In
1852 by the Church of England. This
basin is in the custody Of the House OF
Bishops and Is used only at the meet
ings of the General Convention.
The United Offering service Will con-
sist Of celebration Of the Holy Com
munion at which Bishop Tuttle. Pre-
siding Bishop, will officiate, assisted by
Bishop Arthur Selden Lloyd, president
of the Board of Missions, In addition to
which more than one hundred Bishops
will be in attendance. When the Of
fering is formally presented the Dox-
ology will be sung by the vast con-
gregation, and hundreds OF women who
canno. obtain admission will take up
the strains outside. 1t will be one OF
the mcst impressive sights Of the Con-
vention.
The secretary Of the Woman's Auxil-
iary is Miss Julia Emery who has filled
the office with signal ability for 46
years.

SCHOOL TEACHERS

Teaching is wearing work. and only
those teachers who take good care of
their health can stand the daily strain
of the class room. The dull eyes, pale
cheeks, weary head and unstrung
nerves of many teachers show the
need of building up the nerve-force,
improving the blood and helping the
general condition. Have you heard
Of Il. F." Atwood's Medicine? 1t is
a very old home remedy, and entirely
reliable. You can take it with the
assurance that only good effects fol-
low it's use. 1t is not "cure-all," but
general conditioner which acts on
the stomach, liver and bowels, and by
putting these important organs in
order, improves the appetite, purihes
the blood, strengthens the nerves and
clears the head. Try bottle and

influence.

CHINA FEARS THE OLD
TACTICS OF JAPANESE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Peking. Aug. 30.-The arrival Of
Baron Hayashi to become Japanese
Minister to China has found most
Chinese newspapers gloomy over the
new minister's probable attitude
toward China and the probable policy
of Japan at this crucial period in
Chinese internal affairs. Although the
papers express hope that Japan has
decided to deal fairly with China, they
fear "the old tactics of bulldozing"
will be revived in changed form.
The Picking Daily Gazette says: "He
comes at a time when the national
temper is well-disposed towards
Japan, and when our people are not
policy and action in China may have
been, to a certain extent, dictated by
Yuan Shi-kai's attempt to orientate
the foreign policy Of this country in
discrimination against Japan. With
the death Of Yuan Shi-kai, this speci
flc reason for an aggressive policy on
the part of Toxic has disappeared; and
II that reason truly explained Japanese
policy in the immediate past. 1t would
not be difficult for Baron Hayashi to
convince us that his government is
presently inspired by other than ag-
gressive aims.
"Baron Hayashi will be greatly as
sisted If he resettles Chino Japanese
relations on a foundation Of mutual
enlightenment, instead Of any Of those
formulae Of protection expressed in
terms of Asia for the Asiatics.' or Of
an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine, or--most
suspicious and dangerous of all politi-
cal heresies-of Japanese guardianship
of China. AS long as we continue un-
able to protect ourselves by our own
right ARMAND it will be some time
yet before we can do so, owing to the
inherent as well as to the alien difii-
culties besetting US in the work Of ad-
justing our national life to the new
environment resulting from China's
entry into the system Of nations-we
are and must remain the ward Of the
Great Powers that have guaranteed
our independence and territorial in
tegrity, and not of any single Power.
1T will be well for Japan to realize,
definitely and finally. that a country
with one-fourth Of the worlds popula-
ton and with resources that are con-
tinental in extent and self sufficiency
is too great . mass OF the earth's sur
face to be a matter Of indifference to
Europe and America. The attitude Of
the White Powers regarding the Japa-
nese demands ought to convince Japan
of what Is in truth an axiom. And
