cocoan nut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkall. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t In. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
Of rich. creamy lather, and cieanses
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 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.-Adv-

ENGLAND REALIZING
Magnitude Of Ameri-
can Rush to the Front

With the American Army in Eng
land. June 7.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press America
has brought to the British public a
realization of the magnitude of tho
movement. The comings and goings
of force after force have impressed
the residents of England with the
might of their new ally a nothing
else has.
Since the first days of May the
growing volume has been apparent.
Wave after wave Of American troops
has moved forward from the ports OF
arrival through the country to rest
camps and from them on to the ports
pause to get the sea wobble out of
the mems legs.
The number of rest camps-the
name that has come to be applied
to what really are concentration
camps-has been increased, and
British traffic men are finding them
selves heavily taxed to maintain un-
interrupted the shuttle of shipping
between England and France The
British are doing that part Of the
work and American officers have
been high in their praise Of the eff
ficiency displayed.
Americans are in command Of the
men when they land and are re-
sponsible for them in the temporary
camps and up to the point of going
to carry them to France. but the
transportation both across the coun-
try and overseas is in the hands of
men who have been moving the
British millions since 1914.
1t is at the rest camps that the
American soldier gets his first real
stop in the voyage he begun at an
American port. At the port Of de-
barkation he is given scarcely
pause and no opportunity whatever
to look around. From the ship that
brought him over he is marched di-
rectly to a waiting train. Then the
journey TO camp is begun. But the
trains are fast aad the country is
small so the journey never Is long.
When the train stops there is
march, usually for two or three milas
but in some cases the column must
move on foot for 10 or IL miles be
fore camp is reached. To the Brit

HER
DOCTORS ORDERS

MANY rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up
the blood. When rheumatism is asso-
ciated with thin blood it cannot be
corrected until the blood is made rich
and red.
Mrs. Peter Fitzner of 10 Holt street,
North Billerica, Mass, used DR.. Will
hams' Pink Pills to combat the effects
Of rheumatism accompanied by attacks
of indigestion. This is herexperience.
II was living in Nova Scotia some
years ago and contracteda severe cold.
The next day / was confined to bed.
Sharp pains started in my right
shoulder and nearly drove me mad.
They worked down to my right knee
which was stir and sore, and went to
my hands. I could not sleep and was
in terrible pain all the time. My knee
was swollen.
''My stomach was affected and ]
would have terrible pains after eating.
Gas would form and / would have
smothering sensations and could eat
but little. I was very nervous. My
doctor advised me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and as l had heard of boy
who had st. Nitns' dance and had
been benefited by these pills / was en-
couraged to try them. After / had
taken three boxes I was much better,
the pains in my shoulder and limbs
were not so intense. l took several
more boxes and the pains left me. DR..
Williams Pink Pills certainly built up
my blood and restored my strength"

Blood" containing much information
about rheumatism is free on request.

receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six
boxes for S.. 80 by the DR.. Williams

Mrs, Harold ID. Taylor of Oakland
IS visiting at Camp Wadsworth,
Spartanburg. S. o., with her hus-
band, who is in the 56th Pioneer In
fantry and she writes as follows to
her mother:
Camp Wadsworth, S. c.,
56th Pioneer Inf, Co E,
July 8. 1915.
Dear Mother:
Your lovely long letter received
today and YOU don't know how much
pleased | was to receive 1t. You say
YOU worry for fear that / will he
overcome by the heat here, but 50
far il has been nice anc comfortable
that is if one keeps in the shade.
You know always wanted to go
to the Sunny South as I thought it
must he an interesting place t. visit
hut | never dreamed Of ever being
there in the summer.
When | arrived Saturday Il was
around 9S degrees in the city Of
Spartaaburg and when | went up to
camp | found it much ooler as there
is q cool breeze blowing over the
plains most Of the time During the
day when the sun shines it is almost
impossible to stand the intense heat
The carly mornings are very cool and
almost a frost it seems.
Camp Wadsworth is a very large
camp and is the third largest camp
in the South.
Sunday I went to visit tho great
camp With Harold and it took us
most Of the day to look it over and
then we didn't sec it all. but what
did see was very interesting.
OF course the first thing l did was
to visit the 56th Pioneer Infantry
where Harold is stationed and /
found them all in good spirits, and
are all very anxious to go across.
Last night l went to band con-
cert given by the Pioneer bands Of
the camp and it was a concert one
does not hear in a lifetime. There
were $50 or more pieces and the con-
cert lasted from 8 till 1890 j. NJ.
There are enjoyments of all kinds
at camp including movies. most of
which are free and vaudeville shows,
wrestling, boxing, band concerts,
etc.
Then there are entertainments in
the city at the soldiers clubs and
churches where the soldiers may feel
at home and where things are ar
ranged for their comfort. You should
see the great work done by the Y.
NJ. G. A. for the boys, as they have
free use of large building for writ
ing letters, entertainments. etc, and
there are several such buildings in
various parts of the camp.
There is one place | intend to visit
and that is the base hospital where
the young girls have given their
service to help take care of the sick
and injured soldiers in the camp.
Harold wants me to tell you that
our regiment has the highest rating
in sanitation in the camp and that is
80 out of leo. This is to show that
the Maine boys haven't neglected to
show their cleanliness which their
parents have taught them at home.
The boys are all well and the last
examination they had proved it as
only one was thrown down.
Well, ! must end this letter for
this time and win write in a day or
so. Write often and let me know
how things are in Maine Harold
and | send our love and want you
70 take care of yourself.
Love and kisses

The government can reach an

government can let unionism have its
own way, as it has since the shame
OF the Adamson law. Private owners

to grant higher wages and go on with

take it over and pay anything the Or

When a union worker strikes it is
to delay both purposes Of the soldier

1t Is being tolerated daily in this
