Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in,
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with, .... 49,.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expeo-
sive 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 cas-
lily 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. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces Is
enough to last everyone in the FAM
lily for months.

Superintendent of Middle Di-

ders to Trainmen

Keep vestibules on passenger cars
closed. Permit no person to open
trap-doors, and keep passengers from
sitting on steps while trains are en-
route"
This is. in brief. a recent order is
of the Middle Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. 1t is the first order
of the kind, following recent SAFETY
first Investigations.
For several weeks passenger con-
ductors have been hiking over the
ger trains. and recommend any
changes in the interest of safety
first" One Harrisburg conductor
noticed soldiers sitting on car steps
with vestibules open. Some merely
had the trap-doors opened. The above
order is the result of one OF his re-
ports.
Two Accidents Occur
Two accidents have occurred on the
division as a result of the practice of
men sitting on car steps with their
feet protruding, and trainmen are to
make every effort possible to AVOID
repetition of such mishaps. Trainmen
are asked to cooperate with the Gap
tain of the quota and see that all sol
diers are given a seat and then kept
in place. Hereafter a brassard viii
be worn on the arm of each draftee
and the captain of the quota Will have
an armband indicative of the au-
thority which he possesses over the
others.

Should Be Proud
THE people of Pennsylvania may
well be proud of the commanding
officer of the old Eighteenth Regi-
ment. He is handling his men with
remarkable skill When l saw him
he had had no sleep in forty-eight
hours, but he was planning new
movement. L asked him if he had
any message for the people at home
and he replied: Just tell the folks
that the boys are magnificent.
The spirit of the boys was
most inspiring. With shrapnel and
high explosive shells bursting all
around them, not single man
seemed panic-stricken. Instead, they
were looking forward to the next
charge over the top. One of the
boys pointed out ridge about half
d mile away where the German ma
chine guns were operating and said,
We are going to drive the Germans
out of there at o'clock. And they
did drive the Germans out of that
nest at exactly that time after hand
to-hand fighting.
zone noticeable thing is the hun
ger of the boys for news, both of
the general war movements and of
the folks at home. The fact is. the
men in the front line know less
about the war operations than do
the newspaper readers of Pennsyl-
vania. They receive no newspapers
for weeks at time and their knowl-
edge is limited to the actual hghting
in which they are engaged.
There is one fact which should
be very cheering to the relatives
and friends of the soldiers, and that
is the high percentage of the wound
ed who recover. In the Twenty
eighth Division, for instance, from
August to August 10, more than
thee thousand men passed through
the field hospitals, and of this num-
Der only thirty-siX died. They are
saving ninety eight per cent. of the
hospital cases, and eighty per cent.
of these cases return to duty in the
line, This division had more than
200 mer ga sSad in July and yet only
five Of them died. They have a new
treatment by which practically all
of the victims of gas are saved, If
they are found within a reasonable
tiue.
The Fighting Tenth
"The One Hundred Tenth Regi-
ment, formerly the Fighting Tenth
of the Pennsylvania National Guard,
who are IN the Twenty eighth Divi-
eior. fought side by side with the
One Hundred Eleventh, being on the
left Of tho line. 1t is true that the

ualties. but 1 am suie it was ham

boys OF both regiments expressed

and the best spirit possible was
