Beth X: II you arc quite sure that
you have talent and your friends icll
you that you arc pretty, then perhaps
you are taking no chances and arc
making no mistake in STUDYING acting
at dramatic. school or attempting
to break into the moving pictures by
going to the studios and registering.
If you have an older woman friend,
if lNwere you | would have her go
with me. While there arc no immi-
ncnt dangers, fiftcen-ycar-old girl
cannot command the attention or the
courtesy that would be extended to
her if she were with an older person.
L, c. G.: l do hope the time will
meat myself, but, as you say, habits
arc strong upon us, and we cannot
radically change the mode of our cx-
istcncc, especially when there is a
heavy physical drain upon us all the
time.
NJ. T. D.: writes a very sensible
letter and tells me that she does not
aspire to become a moving picture

going to be in her own home and her
own kitchen, which latter especially is
not such an ovcrcrowdcd field as ours.
Perhaps there is no more vital force
in the world than the girl or woman
who understands the proper feeding
of her family.

much for your charming letter, and if
you think you have story which

CocOanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep y.ur hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aUlali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. and cieanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinsc5 out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of dust
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get muisified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
las. everyone in the family for months

Extension Work Most
Important Development
in Agricultural Work

According to James Wilson, secre-
tary of agriculture in the cabinets of
Presidents Mckinley Roosevelt and
Taft the most important farming de-
velopmsnt in America at the present
time is the agricultural extension work
now being carried on among the
farmers 10y the agricultural colleges of
the country,
Mr.. Wilson is now president Of the
Nationa! Agricultural Society. recently
formed by a number of promin ent men
interested in farming, and he has Just
completed a survey of the new move
men,, which he refers to as sending
the college TO the farmer"
Says Mr.. Wilson, THE world has
never seen the like of this present edu-
cational movement. Every properly
equipped educational agency in the
country has been set In motion at
actual FIRST hand work among the
farmers. In every one of the forty
eish; states the campaign is being
pushes; vigorously. and I believe that
at the present time at least half of the
active farming element OF the country
is either in direct or indirect contact
with the movement.
This year there was spent in farm
demonstration alone approximately
$4,000, 600, and every one of the states
shared in its benefits.
a wide range of activity was COW
cred; domestic science was taught to
the wives of the farmers in their own
Kitchens. scientific farm management
was demonstrated on thousands of
farms, boys and girls were encouraged

agricultural engineering was taught at
many places, better dairying was
demonstrated: in word, direct and

culture was given to the American

When one considers that in, addition
to this fund of ss,a6o.0e0. the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
spent more than i've times sSiist s3:.
during the past year, it VIII be seen
that the United States has gone about

The only sure way to get rid Of dan

It at night when retiring; use enough
