GERMANS DESCRIBE
 SMOKE SCREEN USED
 BY BRITISH FORCES

LONDON, Dec.1l-A German de- scription of British bombardment, smoke screen, attacks with gas, flame throwers and tanks followed by charge of Canadians and Scots published by the Berlin Post is en?- titled "In the Flanders Hell"
 For weeks. day and night" says the writer, "the British kept our position under fire. Even fiercer burned the glowing stream that poured cracking down upon us Ev- cry day this fire grew hotter. Our artillery replied powerfully. The army communique spoke of a concen- tration of enemy artillery fire on individual sectors. Even we cannot describe what that means. The his tory of the world has never seen any thing more awful. All calibres were brought into action, and crater of unprecedented extent opened beside the others, was evacuated afresh, swallowed up the old ones, spread out beyond the lime trees and threw up the hinterland. Nothing remain ed intact of all that nights of hard labor under the enemy's fire had ere. ated.
 The destroying fire did it's work with depressing thoroughness, seem ing to extinguish all life, and now came the turn of the smoke shells. Thick smoke lay before our eyes, so that we could see. nothing, and yet further forward must be push our death defying posts. A real fog is mere patchwork compared with this artificial fog which the British send out in order to veil their disposi- tions.
 When this appeared inadequate the enemy employed gas, and the evil mist came rolling toward our lines and passed over them: only our gas masks prevented every liv- ing thing from being destroyed. The gas had singular effect on our weapons; all iron was covered with thick rust.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

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
,ocoanut oil (Which is pure and entire
~ 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 moistcn your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
nch. creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
nnses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and eX-
cessive OIL The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and 1t leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age
fou can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
