of that unwearied patron of children,
that homely but delightful personifica-
ton of parental kindness, Santa Claus,
his custom and his equipage, as he goes
about visiting the firesides of this hap
Ply land, laden with Christmas boun-
ties, but from whomsoever ii NAV
have come we give thanks for It.
There is to our apprehension a spirit of
cordial goodness in it, a playfulness as
of fancy and a benevolent alacrity to
enter into the feelings and promote the
simple pleasures of children which are
altogether charming. We hope our lit
tie patrons, both lads and lassies, will
accept it as Il proof of our unfeigned
good will toward them, token of our
warmest wish that they may have
many a merry Christmas; that they
may long retain their beautiful relish
for these unbought, home bred joys,
which derive their flavor from flial
piety and fraternal love and which,
they may be assured, are the least al
loyed that time can furnish them."-

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
al that is required It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroly ana rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and Is soft, fresh looking. bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle Be-
sides. it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.-
