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 mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless). is much better
than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing. as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.

What Spain Knows
About MIR. Trozky

Madrid, Spain, Jan. 23.-The re-
markable disclosure is now made
that only little more than a year
ago Mr.. Trozky, of Russian revo-
lutionary fame, was incarcerated in
Spanish prison, and his case at
the time was distinctly unpleasant.
Practically the next thing heard of
him, after he was liberated by the
Spaniards, was that he was playing
leading part in the Russian deb
acle, for they had ceased to take
any interest in him. The discovery,
or remembrance, is now first made
by the newspaper FL Liberal, which,
after asking the questions, "Who is
Lenine?" and Who is Trozky?" pro-
ceedS to give some answer.
1t says: "Since the month of Au-
gust, 1914, we have been living in
the land of fancy, and the most un-
likely things are coming to pass.
Trozky, the terrible Russian agitator,
was imprisoned in Madrid on No
vember IS, 1916: a year later he is
Minister of Foreign Affairs. What
irony! Trozky was born in South
ern Russia, and when only II had
already begun to attack the Gov
ernment in the newspapers. At the
age of 10 he was deported to Sibe-
ria, where he became acquainted
with Eenine. Like him, he succeed
ed in escaping and reached Austria,
where he continued to work for the
revolutionary cause. In 1905 he was
at Petrograd, where he presided over
a workmen's congress, but he was
obliged to take fight to Germany
where he published a book on the
Russian revolution, which was eX-
tensively read.
From Germany he went on to
France and at the beginning of the
war was editing a newspaper there
called the Nosche Sova, which, be-
ing of an extremely pacifist charac-
ter, brought about his expulsion.
Thence he took refuge in Spain, and
established himself at San Sebas-
tian, but not feeling very comfort
able there, he moved in turn to Bill
bao, Barcelona and Vigo, with the
intention of departing from the lat
ter port to America. The police,
however, arrested him, and he was
to a prison in Madrid.
Whilst imprisoned he gave the i'm
preston of being a cultivated and
man. He remained in
prison four days and was set at lib

SNOW HNDERs FIREMEN

Fire of unknown origin damaged
Linhen street, last night. The dam
age is estimated at 500. Deeply
piled snow on both sides of the
streets prevented the fire companies
from making quick time to the fire.
The Mount Pleasant Chemical was
stuck in the snow. Firemen are
having trouble at fires owing to ths
fact that fire plugs are generally
piled high wit hsnow.

More Money Than Needed
Is Subscribed For FLAG

Halifax, Pa, Jan. 23.-Funds he
ing collected in Halifax to paw for
this handsome service flag has gone
completely over the top and pro-
vided more funds than were actualIv
needed. The sum contributed from
all sources was $2S.O9 and the flag
and the expenses incurred amount
ed to $11.S9, leaving balance of
$500. The expenses of the Rev.
Harry Daniels, of Sinnemahoning.
Cameron county, who made the adj.
dress at the service incidental to the
unfurling of the flag, amounting to
$14, were refunded to the commit
tee in charge when a check was re-
ceived Saturday by II. S. Potter from
the War Advisory Board of the
State Camp of the p. o. S. of A..
covering that amount. The reason
of the excess amount of money IN
the treasurer's hands is that the
committee expected to pay a higher
price for the flag than the bill
amounted to- The surplus money
will be kept in trust by G. NJ. Smith
and should this flag wear out it will
be replaced by a new one.
