ceives, First it must be kept abso-
lutely clean. The best way to wash
your hair is to make a shampoo of
CASTLE soap and water, shave the
soap and melt it in water. A great
part of the success of doing your own
hair is in the rinsing. Use enough
water to take from the hair every
particle of soap. Dry with your hands
and a towel outdoors in the sun if
possible.
A little olive oil rubbed we'll into
the scalp the night before shampoo
ing helps to make the hair glossy.
Comb your hair in curls about your
face if it is thin. Cover your high
forehead or ugly ears with soft
strands.
Don't wear false hair unless abso-
lutely necessary.
Don't dye your hair unless you
want to be a slave to the hair-dressers
or a pain to your friends.

THE SHADOW OF THE FLAG

THE SHADOW OF THE FLAG
The breadth of joy was in the air
A May-time beauty everywhere,
Yet dark beneath my feet it lay
AS 'twere a blot upon the day.
A shadow, wavering to and fro
l looked so understand-and, 10!
The shadow of the flag.
The sweet winds from the orchard
They caught each scarlet stripe
flame
The white stars cleaned upon their
blue
A glorious banner twas to view,
But as it filled and foated free,
The sun played hide -and-seek, to see
The shadow of the flag.
Emerging from the storm-cloud's
wrack
A phantom army struggles back.
To English and Canadian home
Exhausted, broken, manned they
come.
A mighty sacrifcial host
Survivors of wars holocaust,
The shadows Of the flag.
And millions meath the torn ground
lie
Unfolding great Deaths mystery.
Their youth was fair-they gave it all
Upspringing at the trumpet call,
Was need to give it? Answer We
Who sent to immortality
These shadows of the flag.
o God, Omnipotcnt, bend down,
Compel a world in chaos thrown,
Mans power is naught-Thy power
is still
The same that spoke from Sinai's hill.
Speak now, with stern authority
That our dim eyes may never see
Such shadows of our flag.

poor condition. due to winter
killing and the heaving caused
by freezing aud thawing thru
out the winter months. The
trouble inay be easily remedied
II taken in time. In this
part of the country. it is neces-
sary that any work done on the
lawn should be done very early
in order to have the best results
otherwise, the seed is likely Ia
tail to germinate.
During March. the ground.
when free from snow. will con.
tain q considerable amount of
moisture. and at this time the
lawn shouidbe thoroughly raked
to remove all the dead grass
and refuse from it. The grass
seed may then be sown over the
bare spaces. or rs many people
prefer. spread little over the
whole area. The seed should
then be rolled in.
Doing this work early is es.
scntial, ns IL insures moisture.
