Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it 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 wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather.

bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loo3ens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and

office, which we gladly pub M:
"Mr. E. L. Whitley, pioneeer citi-
zen of Tazewell county, died at North
Tazewell January 18th, after brief
illness.
Mr.. Whitley was in the 88th year of
his age, is survived by one daughter

Of North Tazewell.
Mr.. Whitley and wife lived with his

1906. However, he still made his
home with his sons widow, his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cosby Whitley,
until the last.
He was stricken with paralysis
about two weeks before his death,
from the effect of which he never re-
covered, though at one time he was
thought to be much improved. Six
days before his death, when seeming
ly much improved, he was moved to
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ire
son, on account of the serious sick
ness of Mrs. Whitley's daughter
which made it necessary for her to &c

CALVES WITH DIARRHEA AND
DYSENTERIsY.

The word dysentcry as il is COM
monty used in relation TO the disease
of animals, signifies severe form
of diaorrhca.
Causes-It is a symptom of irrita-
tion of the intestines, resulting in in
creased secretion or increased mus
cular contractions or both. The ir
ritation is sometimes the result of
chilling from exposure, improper
feeding, irritant feeds, indigestion,
organic disease of the intcstincs or
parasites.
Symptoms-Passages from the
bowels are frequent, at first consist
ing of thin dung, but as the disease
continues they become watcry and of
fensive smelling, and may be even
streaked with blood. At first the
animal shows no constitutional dis
turbance, but later it becomes weak
and may exhibit evidence Of abdomi-
nal pain by looking around to the
side, drawing the feet together, lying
down, moving restleslly. Sometimes
this malady is accompanied with fc-
yer, great depression, loss of strength
and rapid loss Of flesh, and may ter
inmate in death.
When the disease de-
pends on the irritating properties OF
the feed which has been supplied to
the animal, it is advisable to give
mild purgative, such as pint OF
castor oil or linscd coil. When the
secretions of the bowels are irritat-
ing, an ounce of carbonate of mag.
nesia and half an ounce of tincturc
of opium should be shaken up in q
quart of linsocd tea and given to the

HIGHLANDS SCHOOL CLOSES 4
SUCCESSFUL TERM.
communicated
Communicated

Richlands, Va, Jan. 1.-THE Rich
lands school has just closed most
successful term. Notwithstanding
the epidemic of measles which ragged
in the town and vicinity in October,
the percentage of promotions was
unusually high, for pupils who were
debarred from school did not fail to
make the daily preparations at home
wherever they could The faculty
express themselves as very much
pleased with the results, for the Rich
lands pupils study and deserve to be
commended.
With the beginning of the new term
new department will be opened
through generosity of some of the
public spirited men of the town. A
Domestic Science class will be form
ed, the first in Tazewell county, we
are told. This department will be
conducted on practical and econom-
ic basis, appealing TO the needs of the
community.
1t is hoped at the beginning of the
next term to offer some special work
for boys of Il pre-vocational nature.
This new departure fills long felt
want among those who have the edu-
cational needs of the county at heart
and who rejoice at this beginning of
Il broader and more elastic method of
educating our boys and girls.
The people of Richlands are very
proud, of their educational advantag-
es and never fail to respond nobly and
cheerfully to demand for improved
educational facilities.
They are fortunate in having a live
wide-a-wake man at the head of af-
fairs pertaining to the school, and
are to be congratulated that they
lead in all the good things, educa-
tiorally speaking.
Miss Marion Turner, of Richmond,
who has made speciality of this
work will be in charge of The class
under the supervision of the princi-
pal.
The new term began Monday, Jan
uary 18th. The building has been
taxed to it's utmost this year and
where "to put thom," is a question.
