Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely 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 it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You 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-Advertise

Juice of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter-pint of the most won
derful lemon skin softener and
complexion beautifier, by squeezing
the juice of two fresh lemons into
bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener. smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. 1t should natu-
rally help to whiten, soften, freshen
and bring out the roses and beauty
of any skin. 1t is truly marvellous
to smoother rough, red hands.

way the French do, and discuss mar
riage and maternity insurance, with
regard to the state. We do not say
this woman has sufficient intelli-
gence to be economically indepen-
dent, she is neither a parasite nor n
waster; we don't realize we must
! look to this kind of mother in our
! business of carrying on the state.
No, we watch her go to work and
we watch her come home again,
year after year, and we never lift
finger to secure for her the home
she deserves and the children that
the state needs.
But our Puritanical silence seems,
at least, to be broken. The Ameri-
can Association for Labor Legisla-
ton has begun to discuss a mater
nifty insurance modelled along the
lines that the French adopted years
ago.
All Pay Envelopes Contribute
We shall take the case of a cac-
/ tory, department store, or aggre-
gate of teachers, or any other unit
of men and women engaged in gam
full occupation. An infnitesimal
amount is regularly collected from
all pay envelopes, which is turned
into a maternity insurance fund.
With this slight provision assured
there is naturally an increase in the
number of marriages, among the en-
ployes of that particular unit. Bear
in mind that everyone is taxed from
the beginning of his or her employ
ment, the fund increasing automati-
cally with every payday.
The benefit is payable to insured
women or the wives of insured men,
and it is equal to the regular sick
benefit of the insured. Eight weeks
leave is granted, six weeks of which
must be subsequent to the birth OF
the child The fund covers all birth
costs. proper medical and surgical
attention and all necessary appu-
ances.
The French have followed mater
nifty insurance with a creche or day
nursery system that is far superior
to ANYTHING we have in this coun-
try. This is the next reform TO
which we must turn our attention.
day homes where children may be
comfortably and scientifically cared
for while the parents are down
town earning a living.
She Wants to Marry Rich Nan
But I don't want to work after l
am married." a girl wrote to me
the other day. Il intend to marry
rich man." Please let me say, these
letters. on the subject of the self
supporting married woman, are not
addressed to this thrifty young lady
or her class. They are intended for
that great army of workers that
singly cannot afford to marry, and
in the face of bitter economical con-
ditions, are forced, both of them, to
work, or to remain single.
As a nation we have too long
overlooked this class. we have let it
die out when we needed it's pluck,
it's grit, it's stamina in the great
American melting pot. But we in
end to reform, not only in regard
to the working men and women,
but also with respect to those three
hundred thousand doomed babies.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

The other day Miss Julia Lathrop
head of the Children's Bureau
Washington, D. c., made q plea to
save one-third of those doomed three
hundred thousand babies that die
annually in the United States of pre-
Ventable diseases.
The war has taught us the value
of the future soldiers, so this year
we are going to be extremely lore
handed and save a third of the
babies we have been letting die on
account of defective feeding, ignor-
ance of the simplest hygiene, and
little necessary care.
If we are lucky we shall save
100000 and let only 100000 perish.
Herod might regard our record
little enviously. With our own, VIC
have done the work more thorough
ly than he did among the ancient
Israelites. There is no way of tell
ing what our happY-go-lucky policy
has cost us in the way of useful
citizens, or what supreme message
to humanity may not have. been
silenced in the last wall of one of
these little ones.
Out of Darkness. Light
"Out of darkness, light" Another
year may teach as the price we are
paying for this reckless expenditure
of child life. A few more drives on
the western front, with its awful toll
of life, may turn our attention to-
that which-without cynicism-II
shall call our great baby scrap heap.
Next year we may attempt to-
save another hundred thousand lit
tie lives. We may keep on reclaim
ing our sacrificed innoCents till our
mortality list from preventable dis
eases no longer cries to Heaven.
In that millennial state of affairs
we shall have clean milk stations in
every city of the country, we shall
have an adequate corps of physi-
clans that will diagnose and check
at the start those ailments that
have such dread record. and every
mother will be taught how to care
for her baby - not the way her
grandmother did-but in accordance
with the latest developments of in
fant welfare.
We will now regard the reverse
of the infant mortality medal. We
have in this country between eight
snd nine million women engaged in.

We are as reckless in regard to-
our native-born population as we
have been in regard to our timber
or coal lands. We hire statistcians
who draw up for us appalling fig /
ures. but we keep right on with the
same old wasteful policy.

some people dilute 1t by mixing 1t

Of making 1t not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or mixture of honey and

for sweetening lemonade and other
fruit drinks. Sirup Of any kind is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissolved sugar. and when charged

advantage, since 1t has less tendency
to expel the gas.

The best results have been obtained
where ribbons have been awarded, the
color Of the ribbon denoting the grade
Of the prize. II money Is available
for printing the ribbons, each one
should be SO printed as to show the
occasion. place, and date. Awards
should be made on the basis of the
excellence of the exhibit, and no pre-

exhibit. Accordingly, for the informa-
