Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing H air

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, he careful what you
wash ii with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed coeoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely 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 wa
ter 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
iather 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.

A. E. F. in France, and written 70 H.
G. Barker OF Augusta:
France, March II, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Barker:
Have just received your welcome let
ter and was glad to hear from you ana
that YOU were all well. We are having
fine weather here now, about like the
month of May at home. February was
fine month, the winter only lasted
about one month; il seemed very cold.
Billets were not very weather proof
We are now in the trenches and lots
Of excitement at times when the large
guns get a going in good shape. We
can hear the shells whistle and sing
then we know that they are gong over
our heads and there is no danger of
them hitting us then. so we watch for
them to land. sometimes they burst
in the air but when they strike the
ground they make a large hole and
plough from four to five tons of dirt.
, The place is all destroyed the fields are
all full Of these holes. the trees have
most all been blown or cut down. The
Germans cut down all of the apple and
The towns, all there is left of them,
are a few walls left standing. II Is
much different through the country
here then it is at home; there are no
houses that are built alone. 1t is all
made up of small towns anywhere from
four to eight miles apart; all of the
! houses are built of stone. Have not
seen a house built of wood since | have
been here and have travelled over most
all of France. Am living in a small dug
! out made of iron and about four feet
Of stone piled on and around it; there
| is just room for two of us in it. We
have two hunks and an old powder can
| that we have made a stove Of. so We
live quite comfortable. The place is full
of very large rats that are not very
timid. They keep me awake nights
more than the guns do Have seen
some interesting air flights When they
meet over our heads there is some noise
while it lasts. We do rot play much
now, we give a concert about one eve
ming 4 week in a dug out that the Y.
NJ. {. A. uses. They come to the front
with us and are doing fine work We do
first aid work. carry letters and do some
detail work. so they keep us busy most
of the time. but they are feeding US
fine, the best that they have since I
have been IN the army; have gained Is
pounds since we have been here. viii

all MYRON.

| The Augusta. Maine, kennebec Jour

under the caption Of, Time to Be Re-
publicans." There u scarcely any time
when this able and effective newspa per
does not think all voters should be Re-
publcans. But this is the way it PRE-
sents the reasons for the clarion call
foresaid:
while the national administration
appeals in every utterance, and In tons
! Of publicity matter sent out from
/ every department and bureau. for non
craftsmanship in time Of war. the vice
| president himself is sent out to Wis.,
consn to urge Republicans to vote for
the Democratic candidate fer L. S.
senator.
| The Republican campaign leaders and
/ managers in Wisconsin feel that they
owe Vice-President Marshall a deep and
lasting debt Republicans in other
states, in the coming campaign. will
have an unfeigned feeling of gratitude
II Mr.. Marshall can find the time to tell
their qualified voters how they should
vote
The Kennebec Journal continues:
maine Republicans accept the ma IS
| of laudatory literature sent out from
| the 1901 publicity offices camouf1aged

times, the out-growth of modern polit,-
cal machine methods; but when the
President in the midst Of 'overwhelm-
/ ing war duties sends his personal in
/ f1uenCe half across the country to help
place Democrat favorable to him and
to his administration. it is too much"
| Precisely that is wha. good sized
plurality of the voting population OF
Wisconsin declared by their ballots on
April .. Scarcely voter was permitted
to overlook the fact that the President
! desired the election Of Mr. Davies, be-
cause he had taken pains publicly to
say so. Notwithstanding, the Wiscon-
sin voters elected Irvine l.. Lenroot to
the Senate by plurality of about 600
| Here is the way the great bulk OF

well expressed by the kennebec Jour-
nal:

The President and his close followers

early. Democracy violated non partisan

terly complained because they were
promptly met by loyal Republican sup
porters OF every aggressive and efficient
war methods.
The President is partisan He
makes no attempt to conceal that fact.
He advocates the adoption of principles
which he regards as partisanly Demo-
cratic and the election of candidates
whom he knows to be Democratic in
every partisan sense. What he does.
other Democratic leaders will do. for
that is the highway laid out for them.
