HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

y !: !: !; ,: :; !; < i; 4 4 i; * x X
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoOs contain too mucn alkah This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
Ordinlrp 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 latner, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
drndruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and tht haid fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsiH;ed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.

What to DO for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 25c or $100 for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemO.
When applied as directed, it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,
wounds and chatting. 1t penetrates,
cleanses and soothes. Zemo is dependable
and inexpensive. Try it, as we believe
nothing you have ever used is as effective
and satisfying.
Zemo, Cleveland.

sHoEsLAcks IN GREECE.
They Shine 40 Artists In One Of the
National Recreations.

Boot cleaning. one of the milder
recreations that Saloniki offers, ranks
among the national industries Of
Greece. To sit drinking little cups Of
Turkish coffee and having his boots
cleaned at the same time Is the Greeks
ideal of pleasant afternoon. The lus-
tros, as Greek shoeblacks are music
ally called. though usually of tender
age, is true artist and is by no means
content with the dull burnish that sat
isles the English boot boy.
He first meticulously scrapes your
boot clean Of the smallest fragment Of
mud. then wipes IL carefully so as to
have a perfectly clean background to
work on. After that he applies the
backing. not by dabbing the backing
brush into the tin. but with variety
Of little metal implements and sponges
When he has brushed this to bright
polish you imagine that your shine is
over. but it has really only begun. for
the lustros now goes ON to bring out
the high lights by smearing your boot
over with a colorless cream which he
brushes again to great brilliance and
finishes off by two or three minutes
friction with velvet cloth. He COM
pletes his work by painting the edge of
sole and heel with a sort OF varnish.-

LAW AND JUSTICE.
The Old Squire Could Strike a Nice
Balance Between the Two.

There is an old New England squire
whose knowledge Of the statute law is
limited. but who has decided views as
TO common justice. Not long ago a
certain Zed Smith was brought before
him charged with larceny.
1t appeared from the evidence that
Zed had rented horse from a farmer
to do some hauling and that during the
period the animal had remained in his
possession he had fed 1t from the own
ers stock Of grain. although the agree
ment was that Zed himself should sup
ply the feed. He was charged by the
farmer therefore with the theft Of two
bushels of oats and corn.
"The statutes made and provided"
the old squire announced ponderously,
"say that theft is TO convert to your
own use the property of another. The
horse is the servant Of the owner, not
of Zed, and Zed converted them oats
to the horses use, not his, so / acquit
Zed of stealin' them oats. He amt
guilty Of larceny"
about to leave the room when the old
man called him back.
LAS l said. Zed," he remarked, with
CLEAN Of humor in his eye. you amt
guilty of larceny. but you shore air
guilty Of something. and I'm goin' to
send you to jail for a month for it,

OUR VANISHING DEER.
The Most Graceful and Most Hunted u

No animal on the North American
continent has been hunted SO relent-
lessly as the deer. That's why he Is
getting scarcer every year. and you'll
have to look In park on. 60 into the
mountains TO find one today.
For convenience In distinguishing
this animal from other members OF the
family scattered over the earth. we
call him the common American deer"
He is also referred to at times as the
roebuck. the jumping deer and the long
tailed deer. He Is small, compared
with others OF his family. like the
moose and elk. and his color Is brown
In summer and gray-brown In. winter.
He weighs between 100 and 200 pounds.
The male deer carries pair OF horns,
which he sheds each year after the
breeding season. Then he grows new
pair. their size increasing as the deer
grows older, The female deer, called
the doe, has no horns.
They are vegetarians and live most
Of the year on shrubs. grass and the
buds of trees. Sometimes they become
holder and visit farmers corn or
wheat field. They also like berries.
The American deer is one Of the most
graceful animals on the continent.

hunt the deer so relentlessly. -Phila-
