REINDEER NOT SICK

Walter Shields. superintendent of the Bureau of Education at Nome, says that the report published to the effect that reindeer in the north were stricken with some fall disease is probably due to the fact that some forty or fifty animals were killed by tho teacher at KavlIna. The man is new to the country and when he saw that the reindeer were afflicted with @ common disease of the hoof he be- neved the hoof and mouth disease which Is prevalent among stock in some districts in the states had brok- en out among the reindeer. He might have killed the whole herd had not the attention of superintendent been called to tho matter by the natives.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkalL which il very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap.
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family fop months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all
that Is required. It makes an album
dance Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. ana is
soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, It laosens
and takes out every particle Of dust,
d. : and dandruff.
