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 mulsiied cocoafut oil (which is pure and en- tirely sgreaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly ihjure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One of two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and ex- cessive 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. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

STOMACH TROUBLES AREDUE TOAC|D|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
 Acid Indigestion

So-called stomach troubles, such as ache and inability to retain food. are in probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid Is taking place in the stomach, cansing the formation of gas and acid indigestion.
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inf1ames the del icate lining of the stomach. The trou- bie lies entirely in the excess develop ment or secretion of acid
 To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid and make it bland and harmless. a teaspoonful of bls1rated magnesia. a good and eff fective corrector of acid stomach. should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity Is felt This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo- ments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use
 An antiacid such as bisurated mag nesia. which can be obtained from any form, enables the stomach to do it's work properly without the aid of arti- fcial diEestents. Magnesia comes in several forms. so he certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

Prof. Beach first notified the war department that Storrs could ac- commodate 400 men in che Student S Army Training Corps and then took immediate steps to prepare for just the contingency that has arisen namely, twice as many students to get twice as much instruction or in other words running the college at about four times its normal capacity.
 Under an agreement with the war department the college has contra cted to furnish quarters, mess, and in struction to be paid for by the gov ernment. The war department con-

 On Tuesday afternoon there was a meeting of the city officials and Health Officer Brophy to discuss the influenza epidemic. The policy of closing the schools was discussed but it was thought that the schools could be kept open as the epidemic was on the wane.

The teachers are instructed to keep watch of the pupils and at the first sign of any symptoms of the disease to send the child to his home for treatment with instructions to remain there 9 week.

 Just a few lines to let you know that I am well and hope this letter will find you the same. I am up in the lines now and, believe me. it is some hell here. We have been here quite a few weeks now and have seen quite a bit of fighting. I think we have the best gun crew in the battery, and we certainly have the best gun. We try to send two shots over the line to their one. We call our gun Lightning, for that is the name given it by the colonel who inspected us before we left C. for the lines. He had us go through a 20-minute gun drill for him and said
