PARIS, Sept. 12.-An official state- ment issued here today declares that Premier Zamais and the entire Greek cabinet have resigned owing to the immense opposition that has develop ed since the start of the revolutionary movement.
 The statement is based upon official reports received through diplomatic channels and declares that the resig nation of the premier and his cabinet was practically forced by the pressure of public opinion owing to the mani- fest sympathy of the ministry with the German inclined element which are distinctly persona non grata throughout Greece at the present time. The statement is in full accord with earlier reports reaching here to the effect that numcfous threats have been made against the persons of the pre- mier and cabinet officers during the recent disturbances, together with other evidences of intense hostility on the part of the rank and file.

the enemy suffered huge losses.
 If is pointed out that the efforts of the British to advance their lines in the Somme sector are daily growing weaker and no important advances have been achieved for days in spite of a terrific and continuous offensive.
 The gains are, in every case, out of all proportion to the losses sustained and the immense expenditures of am munition required to open way to the German lines.
 It is the belief of military observers that the British will soon cease the futile attempts to break through the German defenses in this section.

Careless Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much a1kali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins 1T.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than themost expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moiSten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out cas-
lily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine

easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.-Adver-

PROPER HOUSING IMPORTANT.
Cement Floor Best for Poultry: Ven
tlation Is Big Problem

Manhattan, Kan, June 21.-There
are as many types of chicken houses
as there are of poultry raisers, and
ideal, asserts n. L Harris, superin-
tendent of the poultry plant, Kansas
State Agricultural college.
1.-The ideal chicken house should be
at least twenty feet long and eighteen
feet wide,'' says Mr.. Harris. THE
height should be such as Will be con-
venient to the operator-about nine
feet in front and not less than four
feet at the back. With a house OF
these dimensions, there will be no
frozen combs even in severe winter
weather. Frozen combs usually result
from keeping poultry in small houses
There is no question that cement
is the best floor for poultry houses,
since such a floor is sanitary, vermin
proof, and easily cleaned"
The manner of lighting and vent1-
lating a poultry house is always i'm
portant, in the opinion of Mr.. Harris
Too much glass raises the temperature
N the day and permits rapid radiation
at night The resulting wide varia-
ton of day and night temperatures is
always injurious to the health of the
fowls.
Probably the best means of provid-
ing adequate light and ventilation is
to have two windows in the south side
of the building with a cloth curtain
between. During stormy days, while
the curtain is closed, the windows will
provide sufficient light and the cur
tains will allow sufficient ventilation
without permitting drafts.
