Frizzle began an investigation to

Cons Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use, Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alliali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use is just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely 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 it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, 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 out every particle OF dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Thus began the lltany of the near
men that DR.. Moreau made from 90
rillas, swine. leopards, wolves and
other animals on an island in the Pa

He put into them brains equal to
to those OF lower humans, taught
them to talk and to walk upright.
But always there was a tendency TO

So he taught them this litany.

such experiments in vivisectIon. The
whole is a product OF the vivid lmagi-

"By Ordinance for St ,Croix of 81 March

reaped ~faultless sea island cotton, and in
consequence hereof to make o loan of up
to Frcs. 10000 against security in the
bonds belonging to the Reserve Fund IF
st. Croix Municipality.
The same conditions which spoke for
granting cotton cultivators O cheap loan
on the cotton reaped in the year 1915 have
also now come forth as far as concerns the
cotton reaped in 1916.
Government must therefore recommend
that authorize ion is given to grant cotton
cultivators in st. Oroix q loan against Sc
curity in the f~aultless sea island cotton
reaped by them in the year 1916, IN the
same manner as last year, so that the
amount Of the loan does not transgress rs
Bit q pound English weight of the cotton
placed as security, and also besides on the
conditions further stated in the said Ordi-
nance.
AS it, meanwhile, can be taken for grant,
cd, that the amount to be lent out will not
be larger than it can be covered by the
yearly income of the immigration Fund,
Government shall, ito prevent sanction by
Ordinance, which will be necessary, if the
loans must be betrayed from the Cotton
Fund established last year, furthermore
propose, that the said loans be def aged
by the immigration Fund.
It is therefore requested, that a proposal
for resolution may be placed on the Order
of the Day for the Councils next or
binary meeting, tending to authorize Gov
eminent to grant cotton cultivators loans
from the Immigration Fund as above mon
