Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair N good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared sfampoos
contain too much aliali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain n1ulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else YOU can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, and cieanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rin.es out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in tho family for months.

HUw FIRE WARNING.
Automatic Signals May Be Placed .
 Street Corners.


 Because of narrowly escaped colli- sions recently between fire apparatus. private automobiles and trolley cars at street functions following alarms, Chairman Edward G. Babcock and officials, of the fire department are considering the placing of automatic signals at the more important corners. Whether 1t will be 8 bell or com pressed air horn is under considera- tion. Such procedure is followed in other cities.
 Chauffeurs of fire apparatus have complained recently of the indiffer- ence or reckleseness of motormen lately, conduct that has nearly caused several collisions. The management of the Connecticut Company has given strict orders that motormen use every precaution in allowing apparatus the right of way. Superintendent Frank l.. Beardaley has promised to cooper ate with the fire department officials and has asked that any specific in- stances of negligence by motormen be reported to him.
