Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully
II you want to keep your hair look
ing its best Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
aIkalL. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which IL pure and greaseless), and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
II in. It makes an abundance OF rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle Of dust, art,
dandruff, and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair hne and
silky, bright, lustrouS fluffy, ana
easy to manage. :,

SUCCESSFUL POULTRY FARM

Bay Lake has the nucleus of a great
development in the poultry industry
in the chicken farm of G. w Peck,
whose success in raising chickens and
marketing his products is attracting
the attention not only of his neigh
bors on the land, but absentee own
Mr.. Peck is doing an opportunity for
them to locate on their holdings and
profit by the channels that he has
opened up for successfully marketing
chickens and eggs
Mr.. Peck started his chicken bust
ness on lots adjoining the Wilson
store at Bay Lake station, but his
father and he have forty acres about
half way between Bay Lake and Fort
Mccoy on the new road east of the
railroad which he will utilize within
the next few months.
He started in November last year
with sixty old hens and from the
products and the profits of these has
accumulated total of 1900 head, in
Guiding baby chicks, paid all expens-
csc of operation and maintenance, in
Guiding the purchase of an incubator
and has an additional profit in cash
of $50.
We visited Mr.. Peck's farm in July
and saw several very healthy broods
of baby chicks. Out of $50 Mr. Peck
said he had lost only seven, and he
was satisfied that chicks can be rails
ed successfully in hot weather.
AS soon as his laying hens start
moulting, however, he stops Matching
their eggs. He has been getting 80
per cent. of his hatch, up to the time
the hens began to mouIt, and after
that he got only SO per cent.
He has been selling his broilers live
weight and has a greater demand for
chickens and eggs than he can sup
ply
MT Peck is very anxious to see the
people OF Bay Lake develop the poul.
try industry and has received word
from several absentee owners of land
who have heard of his success that
they are contemplating coming down
in the winter to locate permanently
and go in the chicken business.-New
