It cannot be expected that in the first year the inebriates can pay for maintenance and the plant, but in time the plant will not require so much state aid The cost per man for main tendance has been reduced from $40 to $3.25 a week.
 Dr.. H. M. Pollock said he was i'm terested in having the iEebriate farm experiment tried out, which was in- tended for 30 patients, and had been increased to 60. Ho told the commit tee two years ago that if permitted to use the earnings there would be no cost to the state for the inebriate farm and this has been verified. The total cost is now but $9, 100, and the earn ings have been S10,000. He said the inebriate farm could not be made self sustaining unless there were addi- tiona1 industrial facilities and articles manufactured that could be utilized in state institutions. The proportion of insane patients is slightly larger in Connecticut than in Massachusetts, the doctor said in response to a query from Representative Eaton.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shau1poos contain too much alkan, 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 few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 and rub 1t in, about a teaspoonful is alY that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out evenly, and is soft. fresh looking, bright, duffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides. it looaens and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and dan druff.
