WHEAT SHOWING
FINE PROSPECTS
If Weather Does Not Interfere
There Will Be an Abund-
ance of Grain

Providing there is good weather for
the next ten days and farmers can
set men to help them harvest their
srain now dead ripe in the fields
Pennsylvania will come near having a
record crop according to the facts and
figures men in the State Department
of Agriculture. Estimates are being
made from the reports turned in by
some 600 crop reporters and they
show better condition for wheat and
rye than for years and a marked i'm
provement over June 1, but that corn
and oats are falling behind.
Carefully worked out estimates on
the four big crops are: Wheat &c.
e70,S00 bushels against 24.92S,000
bushels last year; rye 4,75S,ooo bu-
shels against 1872, 900; oats 3s,4So,0oO
bushels against 4S,095,000, and corn
46.340,2ss against 54,792,OOO.
One factor in the increase of the
wheat will be the increase OF 21.54O
acres devoted to this grain, the total
area planted being 1.333,450 acres.
The rye acreage is given as 266, 900
compared with 271,600 last year.
There is a slight decline in the acre
age for oats. The State reports show

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap chould be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aIkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, daadruff and excessive OIL. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and It
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky. bright, lustrous, fuzzy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every men,
Der of the family for months.-Ad.

right. 1915, Star Coz

Copyright. 1916, Star Coz
Thus began Agnes Morleys first
work with the firm of Hale & Balm
bridge.
After the brief conversation when
she entered his employ William Hale
e~poke no word but of the business
OF the day 10 his new srenographer
end secretary. He had put her inn
rlediately in her place. She was to
be, as she had expected. merely a
sort of machine in his Office.
She was too busy throughout the
foI she needed all her wits TO per-
form her task well. She was so
nervous at first that her hands and
feet were like ice. Then, as ner new
employer dictated one letter after
another, her pulses becam calm and
Ter hands resumed their normal
temperature.
The very realization THAI she was
but an animate apparatus Tor his
convenience steadied her. She was
glad that he knew nothing of her
personality. 1t was very much
easier just as il was.
Al l O'Clock Mr.. Hale drew a long
breath, as if of weariness.
There" he said. That's enough
foT the present. You may go on out
to luncheon. Be back by a quarter
of two. I want to sign my letters
before I leave the Office at FIVE.
Very well, sir, she heary herself
saying.
The closet in which she had hung
her hat and coat was in the large
QUITE: room. When she left Mr.. Hale's
private Office she noticed a door to
"Hasbrook Cambridge" followed by
the word Private The same word
was on Mr.. Hales own ONCE door.
This room then was occupied by
the junior member of the firm.
Gle cling quickly about the other
room, rallied of into various spaces,
whom she had seen mere this
morning was not present. His
stenographer also was nowhere TO
be seen. But the young girI who
had been seated at a typewriter
earlier in the day was Just now COW

"Oh, it's on account of that old

smiled.
She looked at her companion in

wanted TO be friendly. II was a

who might have been somewhat at

wondered why any creature should

they went down the street to a lunch

As they entered the outer Office
the stout man whom Agnes had seen
in the morning came out through
the door bearing the name of Has

pirched her companions arm.

The nerves Of your body are like
electric wires. They carry the nerve
energy (neuro-electricity) which is
generated in the brain, to all the
cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths
are insulated to resist a current of
about $4,000 of volt as has been
proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's
galvanometer, an instrument so SEN
sitive and accurate that for the first
time it is now possible to measure
the strength OF nerve currents.
1t has been found that wherever
acute Inflammation occurs the in
suladon of the nerves is broken
