Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what YOU use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali 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 this 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 a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in. about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance 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 handle. Besides, 1t loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and andrun.-Adv.

Washington, June 1s.-The use OF
hish-power spraying outfits for applying
solid streams Of LIQUID poisons is becom-
ing more general in New England in the
work Of combating the gypsy and brown
tail moths, according to entomoligists or
the United States Department Of Agric-
culture BY the use Of such apparatus,
woodland. park. and street trees 80 feet
and even more in height can be covered
satisfactorily with poison solutions from
the ground. When the usual mist-spray-
ing outfits aue used. the operators must
climb the trees-a much slower and more
expensive proceeding
The spraying OF trees in New England,
whether with mist or solid stream sprays,
has been effective in combating the To-
l,age-eatng insect pests of the region.
Ar.enate OF lead in the paste form is the
poison generally used. Solutions of from
10 70 l2l pounds Of the chemical to each
70 gallons OF water are employed.
Solid Stream Spraying
Spraying woodland by using this method
requires about 600 gallons OF spray solu
ton per acre and with high-grade ma
chine. properly equipped, an average OF
from IL to Il acres can be sprayed in a
day. with the same outfit il is possible

trees The cost of this treatment de-
ponds on local prices for supplies and
labor.
Early Spraying Best
The spraying Of shade trees with arse
nate of lead, say the entomoosiSts of the
department. should be accomplished at
as early a date as possible after the TO-
lage has sufficiently developed. Early
spraying is not only beneficial against
the gypsy moth, but will poison many
brown-tail caterpillars. as they are much
earlier feeders than the gypsy moth. In
the case OF the elm-leaf beetle much is
accomplished in poisoning the adult
beetles, which do a small amount OF feed
ing after coming out of Information be-
fore mating and laying eggs. as they
are very easily poisoned at that time.
Owners and operators of spraying out
FITS are warned by the departments spec
ialsts that failure to take proper care Of
their machines Is responsible for most Of
the difficulties and delays that result dur
ing the spraying season. This is particu-
larry true in regard TO the precautions
that should he taken when the spraying
season is over and the machine is laid up
for the winter.

1877 IS DANGER
YEAR FOR SOUTH
Twenty Million Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD- 1917
is a danger year" for the south, and
that there Is dynamite in the pres
growing farmer" are the warning
words used by H. G. Hastings, presi-
dent Of the Southeastern Fair Asso'
citation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commence, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time In spring." he says, "is
the bait that will lure hundreds Of
thousands Of farmers in the south to
each put In few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop rs in
1914, we Will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as II is sometimes ex-
pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put III an acre moro Of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think It time above all others to
! play safe. What we will increase to
! the limit Of our ability will be food,
grain and forage. beet cattle and
hogs.
"The safe way is to first supply all
needs Of family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre
age in cotton. With bread and meat
; IN hand, and garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
fall; with homo canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ta-
BILE use; with corn in the crib and hay
! and fodder In the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely independent Of
| cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
SO provided for Is never distressed
He can sit on his cotton bales with
mind at ease, and sell in his own good
time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce
and fertilizer high, any material In
crease in cotton acreage must nee
essarily be at the expense Of food and
, grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south's pres
/ ent prosperity than Is 18 to 20 cent
cotton.
Memories are short, but wise far
mers need only to look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
! cotton that can't be eaten, and the
lack Of food that one must eat. I re.
peat this year Of 1917, Is a danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot
: ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with tho cards stacked
against him."

Mother Praises Remedy
that Relieved Her Babv
DIR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN
Is a DEPENDABLE FAM
lily LAXATIVE.

Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation, or
inaction Of the bowels. At the first
indication Of irregularity in this i'm
portant function, relief should be af-
forded promptly. A mild laxative
should be administered to gently
carry off the congcsted waste and
leave the stomach and bowels free to
perform their allotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recon-
mended to relieve constipation, the
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin. as prescribed by DR.. w.
b. Caldwell and sold in drug stores
under the name Of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, Is the most effective.
1t contains no opiates or narcotic
drug, Is pleasant to the taste, mild
and gentle in action. and quickly
brings the desired relief in an easy,
natural manner.
Mrs. G. J.. Douglas. Mason, Ill.,,
writes that she cannot say enough in
praise Of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin as dependable family laxative.
Little Mary Eva had been badly con-
stipated until they tried Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, which brought
the first natural relief the child had
in two weeks.
