Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

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 all
that is required. It makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather. cleanseS
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandrutf-Adv-

 It is interesting if not instructive to watch the behavior of different men In emergencies.
 We have had the usual fall frost. which has killed all the tender crops of farm and garden.

 All that we can be sure or IS that it will come sooner of later,4 and that it will nip practically everything ex- cept bean-poles and -cobblestones
 It came this time, with double bar relied maIignity and, as have admit ted, perhaps a few days earlier than usual There was at least a full days warning of it. for the wind and clouds and the sharp chill in the air even before sun-up that morning. were suf- ficient indication to any -heerfu! ob- server of what was coming at night
 Yet judging from the walls and the weeps which I have heard from all quarters since 1t took us.- not one far mer out of ten took the precautions aSdInSC QdaldSc WAlSiI CSCiy : OAIC OA e-AO cold wind and every twist of the northwest scud warned him, all day long, was impending.
 don't pretend that farmers can eov- CT up their corn and potatoes against a frost nor can they harvest them all on twelve hours notice.
 But they, could have saved some Of the tomatoes in the kitchen garden and some of, the cucumbers and some of the squash, and picked. some of the beans, and probably have cut some of the corn in the more exposed quarters of the field.
 When the moaning idawned 50 cold and the northwest wind from Jack, F'rosts chosen home whistled through my whiskers SO sharply, I began talk ing prompt stock of my own situation.
 There were about two acres of sweet corn I have no silo and depend large ly for COW fodder in the early winter on the old-fashioned dry cornstpeks. It is my judgement and belief that a ton of sweet-coH stalks are worth at least a half more than ton of field corn stalks. Likewise, it is my obser vation that a. ton of any kind of stalks cut while green and securely stacked, is worth double in feeding value a ton of stalks cut after frost has bitten them.
 So wanted to save all those stalks could.
 Then there were thousand tomato plants, all loaded with fruit. mostly green: about two wagon loads of win
