Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared 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 oocoanut 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 for months.
Simply mOisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. II makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, 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.

The vigor with which Mr.. Hughes
is now pressing this foremost of is

rary. Notwithstanding its own re-
corded opinions on the subject
It was the rich assortment of such
moral inadequacies. of such insin-
cerities, of such pitiable moral wab
blings. of such discovered weaknesses
and calculated hyprocrisies, which
mpelled our esteemed contemporary
to say to the Hon. Woodrow Wilson as
recently as January 10 Of last year;
There is one idea about which
President Wilson will do we'll to take
serious thought. for it. has become

which strikes its roots deeper as the

study Of the composition. the capacity
and the aims of the Democratic party
II is the idea, the belief, that on the
whole the people of this country are
better off, more prosperous, and have
less cause for anxiety under a Repub-
lican than under a Democratic Admin
istration."
It seems to us that The Times told
the truth on this occasion, as Is told
the truth about the personal charac-
er of its candidate in the acutely
analytical passage previously quoted
The mystery to us and to a great
many other sensible people is that
our neighbor should now be not only
blinking these truths of It's own ut

with those who refuse to join in the

CITY WILL HAVE SILVER
BLACK FOX FARM

Plans are now under way for a Sill
yer Black Fox farm here in Augusta.
The Skowhegan fox farm stock has
been purchased by Augusta men, who

foxes and the plans are to move the en-
tire farm to this city. All three pairs
Of the foxes at SkoWhegan have mated,
and a fine lot of pups are expected
very soon.
1t is the intention of the company to
stock the farm with. about 10 pairs of
foxes during the coming summer, and
they will have On the farm nothing but
the very highest grade stock, what are
known as standard bred pedigreed
foxes.
The company is to start the building
Of the new ranch as soon as the frost is
out Of the ground. and intend to have
a model and thoroughly up-to-date fox
farm. The men who are connected with
this new, enterprise know the fox bust
ness very thoroughly. one of them
having been in the business for the
past 10 years and having become in
dependently rich through the sale of
foxes for breeding purposes and skins
from these animals.
Fox ranches are starting UP all over
the country and there are several here
in Maine, all Of which are on sound
footing and since the United States
government has investigated the indus
try and issued an extensive bulletin
speaking of it's merits. more interest
has been centered in the enterprise

work are not to be published at pres

The Blood II the Life.

The blood is the life because It is the

very impure, the bones. the muscles and
other parts Of the body are impaired and

are often brought about by breathing

VIM. Fox will present for the final
times today, one Of his most remark
able features, Henri Bernstein's mas
terpiece, Samson" rot Biblical play
but a mighty spectacle dealing with
modern times. In the leading role is
William Farnum, one of the most
popular Of screen stars who is well and
favorably known to Colonial patrons
Farnum has role well suited to his
talents, that Of common dock labor
er who through perseverance and hard
work rises to be a Samson of finance.
He soon finds that wealth does not al
ways bring happiness. His friends are
false and care not for him but for his
wealth only. Reused to titanic wrath,
he pulls down his structures Of wealth,
ruins the rake who is pursuing his
wife and brushes his so-called friends.
Then once more secure in the love of
his wife, he regains happiness and
contentment. AS in all Fox features,
the supporting cast is of the highest
calibre, while neither pains nor ex-
pense have been spared to make Sam
SON" a production extraordinary.
