DON'T USE
COCOANUT OIL
ON YOUR HAIR
Or Anything That Must
Be Washed Off

The scalp is not like other skin
on the body that can be thoroughly
cleansed with soap and water. The
scalp contains a hair germ that
must be treated with respect.
All soaps and everything that
foams contain alkali and alkali
dries up the scalp. Don't use
them. Dandruff comes from too
dry a scalp. The most sensible
way to treat your hair is to thor
9ughly brush it once a day to keep
n clean. Then use Speiser's Scalp
Tonic after brushing to give your
rcalp that life and health which
produce glossy hair. Speiser's
Scalp Tonic corrects any abnormal
condition of the scalp, kills dan
druff, and relieves itchy and irri-
tated skins. But even Speiser's
Scalp Tonic cannot do the best
work against the persistent use of
soaps, perfumed oils, cocoanut oil,
and patented connections that must
be washed out of the hair to make
your head presentable in public.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic is for sale
only at O'Donnell's Drug Store, at
so cents, and is absolutely guaran-
teed BY them in every respect.

weeks before her husband learned she

prison camps.

After many weeks he met a Belgian
soldier who had been q prisoner near
Leipsic. The soldier said a woman was
captive In that camp. Disguised as a
cartman, Van den Boogaert entered the
camp. Il was many days before he saw
the woman prisoner. It was his wife,
assigned 10 nurse German wounded.
AS cartmsn, Van den Boogaert
cleared the German camp of rubbish,
cart.ng il 70 a point where a Dutch
cartman met him and took it over the
Holland border Van den Boogaert
struck up a friendship with the Hol
lander, whose language he spoke with
native huency. Then he revealed his
secret to his new friend. From that
moment he had an accomplice.
On dark night, week later, one
of the barrels that Van den Boogaert
loaded on MS wagon contained MS VIE.
Covered with filth and debris, half
smothered, the Red Cross nurse rode
out of the German camp on the jolting
cart under the eyes Of the sentinels.
At the meeting place Van den
Boogaert turned the cart over TO the
Dutch carter.
For ten wretched hours Mrs. Van den
Boogaert lay in the barrel. At the bor-

for cautions sake. Her escape had
been discovered, but once across the
border they were safe. They fed 20

RUMANIANS WEAR
QUAINT COSTUME
Distinctive National Garb

men Sylvia.

A vivid picture Of the Rumanian
peasantry is presented in a communi-
cation to the National Geographic So
ciety in Washington from James How
ard Gore. The society has issued
part of Mr.. Cores article as war
geography bulletin which says.
"A Rumsnian village looks Its oes;

from the sleep of winter, is green ano

window frames freshly painted IN

an no part Of Europe do the peas
ants hold so tenaciously TO their dis
tinctive costume as in the uplands o.
Rumania. II is, in fact, almost a creed
in nationalism, and its unlfylng innu-
ence was emphasized some years ago
by the late dowager queen, known as
Carmen Sylvia. when she put on tne
native dress.
"While wheat is the great staple OF
this agricultural country, the SOIL Is
equally adapted TO corn (malZe), ana

the demand should justify 1t. The ease
with which corn can be converted INTO

which it is prepared for consumption.
Polenta, a sort of mush, can be made
Of cornmeal and water, and II time or
energy be lacking, it will be placed on

though many believe that this IS the
cause of the greater part OF the pei
lagrs so common in Rumania, II is dlf-
fcult 20 persuade the peasant TO exer.
else greater care in the preparation OF
polenta or substitute for il some OF the
many palatable dishes that can be
made from corn.
Cooking, unfortunately. is not cult
waited as il should be, and the people
seem 70 be content with simple fare
and a sameness that yields but little
TO the seasons. Gardening Is looked on
as petty farming and not worthy OF the
attention of a man who calls himselt

have gardens that they are called bull

vegetables grown are in the hands II
immigrant Bulgarians. The soil and
climate Of the country are adapted 10
as wide a range as can be found IN our
Middle Atlantic States.
"The climate of Rumania Is not 50
mild as might be expected from the low
latitude of the land, it being the same
as that Of Northern Italy. Coming
under the influence Of the Mediter-
ranean on the west and the mountains

subject 10 the extremes OF sub-tropi-
cal summer and winter OF the hun

Sylvia, has only three seasons, and OF
these one alone-autumn-is fine; in
these parts there is no SPRING"
