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 lust
ordinary mulsiied cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaselcss), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing 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 mulshed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member OF the
family for months.

Sims Must Have Wireless.

Every ocean steamer that leaves an
American port is required by law to
have wireless telegraph apparatus and
operators. An act of congress, passed
i'm 1910, made it unlawful for any
ocean-going steamer carrying passen-
gers to leave or attempt to leave any
port of the United States without be-
ing equipped with an efficient appa-
ratus for radio communication, in good
working order, in charge of person
skilled in the use of, such apparatus,
which apparatus is capable OF trans
mitting and receiving messages over a
distance of at least one hundred miles,
night or day. After the Titanic dis
aster. in 1912, this act was amended
by providing that "the radio equipment
must be in charge of two or more per-
sons skilled in the use of such appara-
FMS. one or the other of whom snail De
IN duty at all times while the vessel is
heing navigated." The provision for
two skilled operators was to cover the
nossibility of one being oyerworked.

LIGHTNING RODS

Lightning has commenced its spring
drive.
lightning does strike twice in the
same spot, if there is anything left to
strike after the first stroke.
1t comes like flash, unannounced
and unexpected. No one knows where
it will strike, how much property it
will destroy, or how many lives it will
snuff out
The annual property loss of this
country due to lightning, is about
$S,00O,000. About 1000 persons are
struck by lightning each year, one
third killed outright, the others injured
or marked for life.
Fully three-fourths of this loss
falls on the rural districts.
Farm barns and residences, churches,
schools, elevators and wire fences are
favOrite marks.
The train travelling on steel rails,
the steel sky-scraper, or other iron
structures, are apparently immune
struck fully as often as wooden build
ings. The steel and iron in them offer
a good conductor, along which the
equalizing electric current between the
air above and the earth below flows
uninterruptedly.
Wood is poor conductor, so wooden
buildings are frequently struck, as we
call it.
The problem then is to equip the
wooden buildings with some good
conductors, to perform the same func-
ton steel and iron do in buildings
which appear to be immune from the
lightning stroke.
The lightning rods made of copper
or double-galvanized iron are such
conductors.
Experiences shows that lightning
rod system, properly installed, ground
ed to permanent moisture, and kept in
repair makes a building immune from
lightning damage.
Available evidence shows that light
ming rods of all kinds of installations
and in all sorts OF conditions, reduce the
lightning fire hazard on farm barns
95 to 90 per cent, and on farm resi-
dences 50 to 80 per cent.
In cases where rodded buildings are
damaged or destroyed by lightning, a
close investigation usually reveals an
improver installation, very often in
sufficient grounding, and sometimes
want of repair.
The grounding of wire fences also
has proven an effective protection to
live stock in pastures.
Many Farm Mutuals" of other
states offer a concession of 20 per cent
or more in premiums on rOdded build
ings. Some companies carry the rod
ded and unrodded buildings in sepa-
rate classes. The average rate, per

TIE KAISER TO BECOME A
DAIRYMAN IN RUSK
COUNTY

By means of their uneXcelled spy
system. the Kaiser and his staff have
discovered the wonderful OppOrtuni-
ties awaiting the dairyman and the
stock-raiser in North Central Wis
consin. The summary of the spies
investigations shows that the fertility
of the gently rolling hardwood ridges,
with their clay loan SOIL fortified for
centuries by falling leaves Of the for
est. i'm Rusk and western Price cOun-
ties. makes a place without compare,
for the sheep raiser and the dairyman.
Fearing that they cannot rule the
world. the Kaiser and his staff have
chosen wisely in selecting this vicin-
ity to settle and become sheep ralsers
and dairymen when they are finally
forced to admit defeat.
So you true Americans better get
your land in this clover belt, the best
unoccupied land in the world, before
the Kaiser and his staff gobble it all.

AMERICAN MERCHANTS TAKE
OVER INTERESTS OF GERMAN
FUR MEN

Arrangements are being completed
by which the interests of German fur
men. amounting to several millions of
dollars, will be purchased by Amer
lean merchants and the money thus
paid turned into the Treasury.
Before the war broke in Europe, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Alien Property Custodian, the trade OF
American furriers was practically
nothing but a collecting and shipping
agency for the Germans. Almost every
pelt taken by American trappers went
to Leipzig before it could be Sold AL
though London was the worlds market,
three-quarters of the fur shipped to
London from Austria, and even China,
went to Leipzig for dressing and dye
ing.
The Leipzig dressers and dyers were
recognized as the best in the world.
Each year after the fur was prepared
and German merchants had fixed the
price, Americans were allowed to pur-
chase as much as three-fifths of the
years output for manufacture into
garments, but in SO doing they were
forced to pay the original cost, expense
of dressing and dyeing, big profit to
the Germans, and 80 per cent duty,
before the furs were returned to
America.
The war deprived Germany Of the
chance to purchase fur in London, and
limited the supply from America
also entirely cut off. In New York
American dyeing houses are actually
operating, and in st. Louis sealskins
have been dyed successfully. Accord
ing to the Alien Property Custodian,
when the REIMBURSEMENT is completed
and the German interests have been
taken over by Americans, furs for
European consumption will be bought
in the American market, and will be
American dressed and dyed.
