Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hai,

If 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- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly inJure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub 1t in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The Iather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky bright, duffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap and a few ounces is enough to 1aats sesexzcna in tho famiix fnr-mnnth7

NEW WRITING IMPLEMENT.

A writing implement composed of a mixture
of wax and finely ground pumice stone contain
ing particles Of ink has been invented by William
c. Geer Of Akron o., to take the place of ordinary
and fountain pens. pencils, crayons and all other
writing implements. says the Popular Science
Monthly. AS the body of the new writing device
Is composed of a mixture of wax and pumice
stone, which is easily worn away when rubbed
against paper surface, the inventor claims that
the cells of Ink intermixed with the wax and pum-
ice stone will also be liberated. giving uniform
supply of ink.
The device is made by mixing the wax, pumice
stone and ink together. When 1t is heated to the
proper temperature 1t is suddenly immersed in
cold water. This chills and solidihes the wax
mixture, producing body having a cellular struc-
ture. each cell being filled with ink.

ABomb Raid by Shell-Light

In the Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable
''The hour chosen for the raid Just about
dusk. There was no extra-special preparation
Immediately before 1t. The guns continued to
pour In their fire, speeding it up little perhaps,
but no more than they had done score Of times
In the last "a hours. The infantry cambered out
Of their trench and filed out through the narrow
openings In their own wire entanglements

his phone. and a moment later distinct change
In the note Of sound of the overhead shells told
that the fire had lifted. that the shells pass
ing higher above his head to fall farther back in
the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch
into which the infantry would soon be pushing
'For minute or two there was change in
the sound Of battle. The thunder of the guns
continued steadily, burst of rifle machine
gun fire cracked as spasmodicaily.
"Men guped in. their threats or drew long
breaths of apprehension that this was the begin

the first Of the storm they knew would quickly
follow. But there were no more shells for the
moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire d.
minished and the bullets piped thinner and more
distant as the gun muzzle swept around. The In
fantry hurried on, thankful for every yard made
in safety.
But at the attacking point the infantry were
almost across when the storm burst, and the

of broken wire and the shattered parapet doomed

they were no sooner down than running stretcher

fought at desperate speed, but smoothly and on
what was clearly settled and rehearsed plan.
There were few Germans to be seen and most Of
these crouched dazed and helpless with hands
over their heads. They were promptly seized,

Gas Bombs Poison Soil.
An interesting fact dwet upon by Mr.. Wishard
during visit to Washington was that OF the pois
oning of the soil In agricultural regions by the
gases spread over the country by the Germans. 1t
is stated that this gas has worked its nsidious way
deep into the ground that unless heroic means
are discovered and applied 1t will be years and
years before the land is fit for cultivation Of any
sort. The devastation, he says, is beyond anything
in the history of the world, with shell craters SO
thick that blowing Of once fertile fields Is abso-
lutely impossible Yet In this hopelessly devasta-
ted region the Red Cross has set to work to repair
some villages and to restore certain agricultural
communities not alone for the humanity directly
involved with respect to the people who will thus
have shelter and means to go to work, but an
example to the thousands Of others and an inspi-
ration to them to start in and begin life The
hopelessness of 1t all might seem complete from a
single instance cited by Mr.. Wishard-that Of a
man who had owned mill In village near Yer.
dun who told him that when he went to look for
the spot which 1t stood he had to take survey

BAD FOR THE wAsHERwoMAN.

So acute has become the local short
age In washerwomen that 1t amounts
to famine" says Robert Patton in
the American Issue. 1t was not always
so. In the halcyon days when Denver
had saloons and the pay envelopes
were being cashed in the thirst par
lors, thousands Of the wives Of drink
ing men were compelled to take in
washing to exc out slender living for
the little family. This condition suited
the booze interests to T. One of
the wet newspapers in an exuberant
outburst Of philanthropy urged the sa-
loonkeepers to send their family
wash to the wives Of their patrons"
and let the saloonists rake in the pay
checks.
But all this is but dream since
this city went dry. Daddy is now
spending his money for household sup
plies and wife has ceased to take in
washing-hence the famine" Verify
prohibition has 'hurt" the washerwom-
an business as well as that of the un-
dertaker and grave digger.
