FRONTIER LIFE IS
 FULL OF HARDSHIPS
Oliver Beckwitn Writes of Poor Food
 and Excessive Heat.


 A letter received from Oliver Beck with one of the East Lyme boys who is serving in Co. G, Seventy first reg iment, at NcAllen, Texas, relates some interesting facts concerning life on the frontier. He says: We are located three and one-half miles from the border and my company gets it's turn of guard duty every ten days. We all dread it in the night time as where we have to guard the river there is a pumping station which the Mexicans have tried to put out of commission and three have been killed trying to swim the river carrying dynamite for this purpose; also the bushes are full of Snipers. It is very lonely at night and tke food is poor and very little of it. This morning all we got was one spoonful of half-cOoIled rice and the coffee tasted like burning rags. This noon at mess all we got was burnt beans and a very few of them, with hard tack. not the kind you buy Next week, Company q, my company, will go on a scouting trip to the north to search a Mexican town for rifles and weapons of any kind. The heat here is intense, 118 to 125 in the shade of the tent, and the rain here is fierce; our tents get flooded. Then it is a case of taking a wash basin and baifing out the water and mud. It makes us wish for home sweet home. The march we have next week takes us across a desert where we have to carry our own water. A quart of water must last us 15 miles, and we must make three miles in 45 min Utes with a 15-minute rest Our food hair and clothes get full of sand.

AIkaEi Makes Soap
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseIess. 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 for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy Iather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and even ly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Be- sides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
