Be Careful In Using
Soap On Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsffied cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely Ereaseless. 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 a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it In, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance 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 han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dan
druff.

Home Garden Movement.

A plan is under way in Taftvil1e
for the working of a five acre plot in
with the Home Garden
movement throughout the country.
This five acre plot will be developed
for garden purposes under the SUI
pervision of Erastus Warrington, boss
farmer of the Ponemah company. F. B.
agent of the Ponemah COM
pany is the originator of the plan here.
Several applications have been receiv-
ed by those in charge for sections in
the five acre plot. Troop 10 of the
Boy Scouts of Taftville were the first
to make application. The Home Gar
den movement is an outcome of the
national crisis and steps in prepared
