Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil, (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaselessJ, 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 wa
ter and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for

THE HONEYMOON HOUSE
By Hazel Dale

II a man truly loves a woman, 1t takes
a long time to open his eyes to the
fact that she is not all he has thought
Eer.
When Janet realized all this it
meant a great deal to her. 1t meant
that it would not be necessary for her
to have men friends unless she wanted
them. 1t meant that she need not con-
slider Jarvis as related to another
woman unless she herself failed in
some way. The knowledge had broad
ened her love, and because JARVIS Kim
self did not realize the fact that Neva
had put so bluntly, Janet intended
that he should never see it.
She would be everything to him ;
nothing else mattered. Marriage was
a far more wonderful thing than even
she had thought it to be. 1t meant
real union, a recognition of each other
as individuals, each adjusting himself
and herself to the qualities of another
so that the result spoke for the high
est manner of life. Janet felt as
though she was attuned; her love took
on another meaning; the petty, little
things that daily beset her were for
a time removed, and she felt that she
loved Jarvis more uhderstandingly
than she ever had.
The Honeymoon House seemed q
place to be kept free from discord
mainly through her own effort; Janet
had become a woman.

PARSNIPS, SATISFY, CARROTS
Material From Correspondence Course in Vegetable
Gardening of the College of Agriculture,
Ohio State University
BY l.. Nj. MONTGOMERY

Parsnips are not a full-seaSon croI
and must be sown early in the spring
in order to secure good termination
Seed more than l year old should not
be used as q poor stand is likely tc
result. Seed should be drilled in rows
II to 15 inches apart and the plants
thinned to two to three inches.
On account of the slow termination
it will be found good practice ia
drill some Early Globe radishes thin
ly in the rows to mark their position
and assist the parsnip seedlings in get
ting through the soil. Radishes must
be removed promptly when large
enough to use, else they will damage
the parsnips. Parsnips should be
grown on a fairly rich, deep, loamy
soil.
Clay soils are not very suitable un-
less we'll filled with organic matter
and deeply prepared. The Hollow
Crown is the chief variety. The roots
after having been frozen. Commonly
they are left in the ground over win
ter and marketed in the spring, though
some are used in the fall.
Satisfy is sometimes called the veg
etable oyster, because of it's rather dis
tinct oyster flavor. Its culture is al
most identical with that of the parsnip.
1t may be used at any time after
reaching suitable size, but, like the
parsnip, the flavor is regarded as be-
ing improved by freezing.
Satisfy may be used as a seasoning
for soups or creams or served as a
side dish. 1t is worthy of place in
any garden.
There are four or more less distinct
forms of carrots, with immediate
graduations: % the short, round or
blunt carrots; (2) the half-long blunt;
CD the long blunt and (4) the long,
tapering or conical form. The latter
form is used mostly for stock feed
ing. There are also a variety of col
ors in these several forms, from white
to yellow and purple. The latter is
uncommon.
The short varieties, such as Early
Scarlet Horn and Early Short Scarlet
are popular early sorts French fore
ing is an excellent variety for cold
frames and other forcing work. This
is an almost perfectly rounded form
Danvers Half-Long and Chantenay are
most popular for general cropping and
winter storage. Long Orange is a pop
ular variety for livestock but is not

so valuable for market. 1t is difficult
to harvest in perfect condition on ac-
count of having such a long, slender
root.
Carrots, like beets, may be sown al
most as early in the spring as the
ground can be prepared, or as soon as
the danger of severe frost is past. The
soil should be finely pulverized and
smoothed before planting.
The seed is slow in terminating and
requires more favorable conditions as
regards soil and moisture than beets.
Light crusts of soil are more likely to
prevent the seedlings from getting
through the ground. Carrots also re-
quire a longer time for the roots to
attain mark etable size.

Into card game at Calabasas inn. Ell.
paso was notoriously a stickler for q
square deal at cards. A dispute found
him without friend in the room. Sas.
soon reached for him with a knife.
McAlpin was the first to get the
news at the barn. He gave first aid to
the helpless guard, and, without dream
ing he could be got to surgeon alive,
rushed him in a light wagon to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat, where it was
said that he must have more lives than
a wildcat. Sassoon. not caring to brave
De Spain's anger in town, went tenn
porarily into hiding. Elpaso, in the
end, justified his old reputation by
making a recovery-haltingly it is
true, and with perilous intervals of
sinking, but a recovery. ..
1t was while he still lay in the hos
pital and hope was very low that De
Spain and Lefever rode, one hot morn
ing, into Calabasas and were told by
McAlpin that Sassoon had been seen
within five minutes at the inn. To Le-
fever the news was like a bubbling
spring to a thirsty man. His face
beamed, he frightened his belt, shook
out his gun, and looked with benevo.

pondering. ''If you will stay right here,

will go over and get Sassoon."
The chief stage-guard, Bob Scott,
the Indian, was in the barn. He smiled
at Lefever's enthusiasm. "Sassoon,"
said he, as slippery"
you'd better let us go along and
see you do it." suggested De Spain,
who with the business In hand grew
thoughtful.
Gentlemen, thank you," protested
Lefever, raising one hand in depreca-
tion, the other resting lightly on his
holster. "We still have some little
reputation to maintain along the sinks.
Don't let us make it a posse for Sas-
soon." No one opposed him further,
and he rode away alone.
at won't be any trouble for John
to bring Sassoon in," murmured Scott,
who spoke with smile and in the low
tone and deliberate manner of the In
dian, "if he can find him."
Lefever rode down to the inn with
out seeing living thing anywhere
about it, When he dismounted in
front he thought he hearl sounds with
in the barroom, but, pushing open the
door and looking circumspectly into
the room before entering, he was sur
prised to find 1t empty. He noticed,
however, that the sash of the low win
dow on his left, which looked into the
patio, was open, and two heelmarks in
the hard clay suggested that a man
might have jumped through. Running
out of the front door, he sprang into
his saddle and rode to where he could
signal De Spain ard Scott 70 come up.
He told his story as they Joined
him, and the three returned to the inn.
A better tracker than either Of his
companions, Scott after minute con-
flrmed their belief that Sassoon must
have escaped by the window. He then
took the two men out to where some
one, within few minutes. had mount.

"But where has he goneT demanded
Lefever, pointing with his hand.
There is the road both ways for

The word coy carries all OF its
real meaning when it is applied to
Cadillac enclosed cars; for they
are truly snug and comfortable.
At every point where draughts or
cold air might creep in to chill
the passengers, skilled provision
has been made against them. Tops
and bottoms Of windows, door stills
and door frames. all are protected.
When the adjustable windows In
a Cadillac enclosed car are in

the hooked edge Of the window
frame fits tightly over a fence"
on the window sill Rain and
cold are kept out-and there Is no
chance of the window rafting.
Around the door openings runs
a roll of live rubber, covered with
upholstery which fits snugly
against the door when rt IS c,ose4.'
The rubber not only seals the
door against the weather, but as
sists it to close softly and without
a slam.
The bottom edge Of each door is
fitted with a rubber strip which
contacts with a special bead on
the aluminium sill plate. Thus
another favorite entrance OF
draughts is effectively closed.

TWENTY-FIVE
WERE KILLED
Oklahoma Railway Wreck Caused by
Disregard of Orders by
Passenger Engi-
neer.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service
TULSA, Okla, Sept. 2.-Twenty-
two dead and sixty-five injured was
the known toll today of the head on
collision of a passenger train and an
equipment train on the Frisco rail-
way near Kellyville. late yesterday.
Workmen were still removing
bodies from the debris and the total
dead was not expected to be known
for several hours. Many of the in
jured were expected to die.
Most of the bodies were so badly
mutilated that identification was i'm
possible. Seven of the bodies are
those of white men. The others
are negroes.
Disregard of orders by Engineer
Rule of the passenger train is alleged
to have been responsible for the
wreck. He is said to have been in
structed to take the siding at Kelly
Vile and allow a northbound passen-
ger train and the equipment train
to pass.
Rule, who escaped injury. with
other members of both crews, vas
found two miles from the scene in
demented state. He is alleged to
have stated that he thought both
trains covered by the order had
passed him at Kellyville.
Rules train was making forty
miles an hour when it crashed into
the equipment train. The engines
met on the edge Of trestle fifty feet
above a river bed, but neither left
the track. The steel mail car Of the
passenger train telescoped a combi-
nation "Jim Crow" and smoking car,
splitting the latter its entire length.
It was in this car that most Of the
dead were found, many of the In
jured being in the day coach imme-
diately behind.
