that had made her frsil and weak.
The young woman was Miss Emmy
Lehman. For a number OF years Mar
tin had paid her devoted attention.
They were to be married Sunday. On
June 81 they went hAnd-in-hAnd to
the little three-room fat that had
been selected as their first home To-
gether they discussed the details Of
its furnishing. Last Monday the cou-
pie went merrily about the city Sc

things that so to make a dull corner

Yesterday when the postman came
around with his first delivery Martin
got a letter addressed in a handwrit-

kissed the note, opened It. and then
started on a run for the new fat
The note toll him that his brids-to-be

cause she was frail and Ill and pre-

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II 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-
tirelv greaselessl. lie much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooinE, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub It in. One or two tea
snoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
r1nses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust dirt, dandruff. and
excessive oil The hair dries quick
ly and evenly and II leaves it fne
and silky bright. fluffy. and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut OIL
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap. and a few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Advt.

Current barometric statistics re-
fleet, as they have for many months,
prosperity on a great and rising
scale. The record of commercial
mortality, one of the most significant
of the induces to general business
conditions, is now unusually favor
able. During the month of January,
according TO the report of r. G.. Dun
e. Co., there were only 1,540 com
mercial failures in the United States.
against 2,009 in January last year,
2,848 two years before and 1914 in
the same month of 1913. 1t is, OF
course, only to be expected that the
number of commercial insolvencies
should decrease in times of great
prosperity. This time, however, 1t
is to be noted that the reduction oc-
ours in the face of great increase
in the number of new enterprises,
which obviously enhances the poSSl-
bilities of financial embarrassment,
for the reason that many are tempt
ed by reports Of huge profits in trade
and industry to embark upon vent
ures with insufficient capital or
knowledge, or both, and so go to
shipwreck quickly. One OF the rca-
sons for the favorable showing is
that many of the weak spots in the
business structure were eliminated
in 1914 and 1915, when the number
of failures was very great. owing
not only to the crisis attending the
outbreak Of war, but to the depres-
sion which had prevailed for months
before that catastrophe was precipi-
tated.

One Of the things which were re-
sponsible for so much of the selling
by investors was the fear that the
launching Of a ruthless submarine
campaign by Germany and the pos
sible entrance Of this country into
the war would result in an immedi-
ate and drastic curtailment Of our
export trade. That could not fail TO
adversely affect values, particularly
Of the securities Of those companies
which are largely dependent on their
sales 20 the belligerents. Also, it
would react seriously on the whole
business structure. II does not APP
pear 10 be likely however, that our
export trade would suffer much, and
it is not impossible that exports
