Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkalL This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tlrely 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 it in. One or Two Ieaspoonfuls
VIII make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
ana scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses. out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and il leaves it fine and
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
az most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Old EnoIish Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up of the country that was
given by the great exhibition at Lon
don of 1851. This was soon after the
development of the railway system in
England, and there flocked to London
a large number of sQuires and their
wives. A new world had opened to the
country danes. The new things had a
wonderful fascination for them. On
returning home they got rid of much of
their old furniture and bought new.
Much of the old furniture found its
way to secondhand shops and was
sold to poor folk who could not afford
to buy new. This accounts for the
finding today Of much good old furni-
ture in small houses in provincial towns
and among country eople.-Indianapo

There are two distinct meanings to
the word 'sound"-one the sensation
produced in the brain, the other the
external vibration which produces the
sensation. The physical cause may ex-
ist where there is no ear; the sensation
cannot exist unless there is an ear to
hear it. Suppose two men-one totally
deaf, the other with normal sense of
hearing-are in the same closed room
in which a third man beats upon a
piece of iron with a hammer Is there
no physical vibration because the deaf
man cannot hear it? The sensation
may be ear splitting to the one and to-
tally nonexistent to the other. The
same vibrations beat through the air.
The same sound exists in the room, but
the sensation exists for only one of the
men.-Philadelphia Press.
