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
mulsided 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.
Simply mOisten the hair with water
and rug 1t in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. IL makes an album
dance 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 loos-
ems and takes out ever particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

FORE SAILING.

Tobyhanna, Penn, June Q.
Dear Mothers and Folks:
We got here last night. 1t is
an out-of-the-way place, with
lots of trees. Our regiment is
gathering together here. We ex-
pected to stop while in Jersey
City, but the way things look now,
we will go on transports tonight,
SO if you do not hear from me
for two or three weeks you will
know that we are on our way
across the Atlantic. We were in
Cleveland, o., quite a while. | am
sending you some pictures from
there and from Buffalo. We
came through New York by way
of Buffalo and Elmira. Lots of
pretty scenery. 1t was raining
part of the time. Our train ran
along the big lakes quite a ways
and we saw some steamships. Elk
lpect we will see some real ones
pretty soon.
Well, we have been making our
home in Pullmans since the night
|of the 2nd, and it will seem kind
of nice to have a change of car
Iriers, even if it is to a ship. We
were out for a march and drill
this morning. | was just up to
the postoffice and got some paper
and envelopes and stamps and
handkerchiefs.
Saw some of the other Valley
boys today, the first | have seen
any of them since leaving Ell
Paso. They were Mason, Nc
Keever, Wolfe, Jones and Boul-
den. Have met one fellow in our
company who is X. of G. He is
from Kentucky. His name is
Coursier and he is French. have
just heard that headquarters
company and our company will be
the first to leave tonight. Ev-
|erything is handled with secrecy
This place looks like it was de-
signed for just the purpose of
drawing military forces together
in secret-lots of trees and spurs
of side tracks reaching out into
them.
Well, will write to you from the
other side of the big pond. Don't
worry about us as we will have
a heavy escort of cruisers and
submarine destroyers. With love
to my dear mother and father and
all my sisters and brother, good
bye and God bless you.
