Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully. if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkal. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
tb ,ng else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle Of dust. dirt.
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

Secretary r. l. Bieler of the Automo-
bile Department of the Massachusetts
Highway Commission and WI went
over their system very care
fully. I found practically the same
method as used in Rhode Island, be-
cause Rhode Island in fact practically
copied the Massachusetts method. The
Massachusetts plan requires an exam
inaticn, but does not insist on the per-
sonal appearance of the person at
the main office; the blanks are sent
to be filled out and returned. An ac-
Cident department is kept up and
special inspectors are constantly at
work. Records are kept of all viola
lions and accidents and the police and
department work together
II found that in both Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island the local officials
were bound by statute to enforce
the automobile laws, much different
than in Maine, and a far Superior
plan.
II also found all the officials in both
states absolutely united in the idea
that there should be uniformity of
automobile laws in New England and
New York states and to that end favor
at least a yearly meeting or conference
states for the purpose of comparing
ideas and workings Of laws and the
formulation of new ones. It is thought
that this will soon be brought about,
the need being apparent to everyone.

Gil just as soon as the office work

The Rines Hill Accident

Mr.. Bowie. at the suggestion Of
Chairman Cleaves, explained the recent
accident or Rines hill. Augusta, when
two loaded freight cars went down hill
out of control and did considerable
damage to a coal team and two auto
mobiles. He explained the mechanism
of the air brake and said that the
non adjustment Of a certain part rem
dered the brake Of one of the cars of
Insufficient holding power and the mo-
tcrman was unable to hold the car on
the grade.
The car had just before the accident
been inspected and was in order, but
the motorman did not-having no or
ders to that effect-see that the brake
was in perfect order, supposing it had
been attended to. Orders to examine
brake on taking out a car are now IN
force.
Rines hill grade had been figured for
freight traffic and he thought that
nothing but the unavoidable acct
dent" happening need be feared The
hill is kept we'll sanded and other pre-
cautions are taken. No worse with the
heavy freights than the heavily loaded
passenger cars.
Nathan Weston voiced the feeling Of
the business men that the new pas
songer schedule worked hardship on
them in that it forced them to dismiss
tteir employees at about 20 minutes Of
o'clock at night to catch their down.
river cars; and the same in other d.
rections.
Mr.. Bowie recognized the situation,
saying 1t had been called to his atten-
ton Tuesday morning by Supt Cole
and that they were already at work on
some plan to remedy It, Making a
perfectly satisfactory schedule for
freight and passenger cars. with no
crossing on Water street was almost an
impossibility for any man. but the
road would do all it could.
