the work here and she is very glad
TO give Information to young women
who are interested.
The army is calling for 1000
nurses each week. Since there is
such urgent need Of training women
for the army and navy nursing, and
so many of them are going, and will
go into active service, It has become
necessary to put many young women
into the military and civilian hos
pitfalls for training, to take the places
Of these nurses. Young women Of
good education. good sense and good
health, between the ages Of - and
IS are wanted for the e~nlistments.

enlist 10 young women in the student
nurse reserve According to Mrs.
Warnken, but eight of this number
Of enlistments have 81 far been sent
to headquarters. The city OF Grand
Forks has furnished practically all
Of these and may be considered to
have done fairly well, but Mrs. Warm

mittee are anxious to have this
number considerably augmented.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain to much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsiAed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely g~reaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hakr.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t 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, dandruf and ex-
cesdve oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and It leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright. huffy and easy to man

A letter came to Mr.. Hoover the

1t makes you wonder just how I'M

quaint little notes about the food

that the country must reduce It's de-

AS Mr.. Hoover's young co%rrespon-
