One Of the things n young man ought
TO be told is that if he cheats one man
he wins the distrust Of many.
Everybody admits that life IS a
game Of give and take. hut too many
people want to be on the takers side.
II doesn't make any difference how
rich a man is his wife can always find
something in him to find fault with.
Women may like to be nattered hut

Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The'best thing to use is jvN plain mul- sifed cocoanut oil, for tHs is pure and entirely greaseless. Itxvery cheap, and beats the most expeDhve soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug sHre, and few ounces will last the GhoE family for months.
 Simply mofM the hair with. water and rub it in, About a teaspoonfu1 is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it 1oosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

MEN RISKED LIVES TO
 AID STUDY OF FEVER
Tests Upon 66 Volunteers Show
 Taanch Disease Caused by Body Lice.

Washington, June 1S.-Through tests conducted upon 66 volunteers from American hospitals and ambul- ance organization in France, medi- cal authorities have been able to de- termine that trench fever, one of the most baffling diseases affecting troops on the western front, is spread by germs carried by body ice.
 The details of the test and the story of the bravery of the American volunteers which officials say equals that of the American soldiers, who risked their lives in order that the mystery of yellow fever might be solved. is told in a report received from General Pershing and made public last night by the war depart ment. "t
 No animals susceptible to the dis ease could be found and it was neces- sary to call for volunteers. In Janu- ary, the volunteers were sent to a hospital behind the British lines and were inoculated with blood or some constituent thereof taken from trench fever cases. In one group, :23 out of "A developed the disease, while in another test 15 out of 16 were af- i fected.
 Having thus proved trench fever is a germ disease, the medical staff be- gan an investigation to determine the way in which it was spread. The body louse was first considered. Large numbers of these were col lected from fever patients and allow ed to bite 22 men, 12 of whom de- veloped the disease. |. inocniaslm :., are,a caused the disease to develop in rom five to 20 days and in the case Of the lice the fever required from 15 to 35 days to develop. :.
 The men contracting the disease lost from 2 Oto 25 pounds in weight While they were ill the Germans bombed the hospital in which they were treated. but they were not in- i jured.
