CARELESS USE OF
SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR

i: x X x x x x x X x ). x * x !:
Soap should be used very carefully. if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
pOos contain too much alkali 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 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 easily,
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 and
silky bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member of
the family for months.

HOW TO DRAW A CHECk.
The first thing a depositor in a
bank should learn is how to draw
a check, for if a check is improp-
erly drawn it may lead to con-
fusion and might bring a loss to
the bank and annoyance to the
depositor, In the first place the
figures should be plainly made, so
that no question can arise as to
the amount. If the figure is care
lessly made, so that it confuses
those who handle the check, num-
berless hours Of work may follow.
For instance, if a bank receives a
check for $1.S8 with a poor "8,"
and clerk lists it as $1.08, it may
take many hours time to find the
difference, and the entire days
work may have to be done over.
The rule should be: Never make
a figure that may be mistaken and
never pass one that is in doubt
correct it by crossing out the bad
and making a good one alongside.
Second, the words and figures
should agree. The law says that
it the two are different, the writ
ten words govern, but make both
carefully and get them alike.
Third. Begin the writing well
to the left of the writing space
and fill in the unused space with
a wavy line. Begin the figures
well up against the s sign and
make the character 00-00 after
but close up against the figures.
Use a good black ink and write
firmly, so that plenty Of ink gets
into the fibre of the paper.
Fourth. Always write your
name exactly as you wrote it on
the bank s signature card. "Mrs.
William Smith" may be the same
person as Mary V. Smith, " but
the bank account doesn't stand
that way.
Adopt one signature and stick
to it. Do not flourish, nor make
a fancy signature Handwriting
experts will tell you that a plain,
distinctive signature, with no fur
bellows, is the most difficult to
forge
The law of forgery is that the
bank is bound to know your sig
nature, and pays forged instru-
ment at it's peril. The risk is all
theirs, but that is not to say you
should not help eliminate the
chance of forgery by taking care
that your checks are properly
drawn. If you are grossly negli-
gent you might have to stand the
loss yourself. Better be safe than
sorry. There are numerous pro-
tecting devices on the market,
some better than others and these
may be used as added safeguards;
but there is no rule of law that
compels you to do so. You are
safe if you follow the above sug-
gestions, but safer if you use
protecting device, for then you
cannot be charged with any negli-
gence in making your checks for
gerry proof Do not make it easy
to work fraud through your ac-
count. Do not give checks to
strangers. Do not leave your
check book lying around. Do not
leave a signed check where it may
be filed in and used. Your bank
er will bless you if you follow the
foregoing suggestions.

An Unexpected salute.

A curious incident Of the closing
ecenes Of the American Civil War is
.elated by a correspondent of IL ST.
Louis newspaper. After General
Erant had received General Lees
Terms Of surrender at Appomattox and
accepted them. some one-not General
Grant-ordered the firing of a salute
Of one hundred guns in token OF vic
Tory. The salute General Grant quick
" stopped. as he wished that every
means should be taken to spare the
yensibilities Of the brave men who had
surrendered. The proceedings went
on quietly, and the surrender was
completed. All was over. and peace
had succeeded when a strange
and irregular fusillade Of musketry
was heard from the field Of battle.
More than that, the air about the field
was filled with whistling bullets. What
had caused a re-Opening Of hostiltties?
Simply this-the muskets of the Con
federate soldiers had been allowed to
remain stacked on the field. So sud
denly had the fighting ceased on the
morning of the 9th Of April that thous.
snds Of pieces were left loaded. In
some way the dry spring grass on the
Geld caught fire, and the blaze ran
