Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This, dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev-
cry particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every mem
Der Of the family for months.

SHELLPROOF MACK

tween those arriving and those going
! from our own guns.
The "tottee apple" is an English
trench mortar, round ball with a
piece OF pipe attached. don't know
how it looks when it is arriving. hay-
ing never been on the receiving end.
Our flying pig" is similar to the
minnie, but weighs 100 pounds and
penetrates the ground very deeply be-
fore exploding.
The Mills hand grenade is the late st
and most efficient of the new bombs.
Formerly, in the first stages of the
war, the British grenades were a
handmade affair, fabricated out of a
jam tin and some explosive. wired
on to a stick They looked like a
hair brush and were so called. The
Mills is lemon-shaped grenade
weighing about two and a half pounds.
Its case is cast iron, scored with deep
creases so that it will break into about
50 pieces. 1t has a lever running
from the top down one side. This is
held in position by pin with a key
ring at one end. When the bomber
is ready to throw the Mills he grasps
the bomb, holding down the lever
with his fingers, and pulls the pin
either with his left hand or with his
teeth. When the bomb leaves the
hand the lever is thrown up by a
spring and the bomb is exploded after
four seconds by mechanism released
by the lever.
The rifle grenade is about the size
of the Mills, but cylindrical and sim
ilarly creased. 1t has a rod which
sticks into the muzzle of rifle and is
projected by blank cartridge. 1t
will carry more than hundred yards.
For some reason we found that the
German rifle grenade was compara-
lively harmless. They used to make
point of lobbing them over at the
latrines, which, in some mysterious
way they knew the locations of. 1t
was embarrassing to be engaged in
a shirt hunt and be driven out by
grenades. 1t is the German idea of
a joke.
Machine guns are called by Tommy
"typewriters." The German ones
make noise like the typewriters used
in a newspaper office. The British
machine guns are of two types main
ly, Lewis and the Vickers. The Lewis
is light and is used from the front
trench. The Vickers is a heavier
rapid firer and is usually emplaced
in the support trenches or somewhere
to the rear.
At close quarters Tommy uses a
persuader or a knuckle knife to rem
der the Fritz napoohni. A persuader
is a short club with studded head.
A knuckle knife is short dagger
with hilt that covers the hand serv-
ing for brass knucks. Napoohni
means fnished-dead-absent. When
a Tommy is wounded he "cops one"
The one may be "Blighty' one.
which is a wound that will take him
to England-Blighty. The British
rifle is usually termed by Tommy a
'barndook." Nobody knows why. A
bayonet is a pin" for obvious rea-
sons. His helmet is "tin hat" which
he wears on his "napper."

Shells and Slang.
(Continued.)

A Minnie" or Minnenwerfer is a
German trench-mortar. 1t is about as
big as a milk-can and comes over
on high arc, tumbling over and over
like foot ball, and is plainly visible.
1t is not dangerous-that is, the fly
ing pieces of the case are not bad +;
but the minnie tears a huge hole in
the ground or in the parapet of a
trench, and it is unhealthy to be very
near one when it explodes. The min

starts saying very distinctly, "I'm
coming for you, for you, for you,
for YOU" At night it leaves a trail of
sparks. Altogether the minnie is the
politest of the German shells.
One of the worst shells the Hun
uses is the SO, or the fve-point-nine,
better known as a coal box" This
emits huge cloud of black smoke
and makes more noise than any other
shell. Almost any shell of any cali

Arthur James Mckay, ''Shellproof Mack, y
enlisted in an English bantam regiment
after the sinking of the Lusitania and upon
reaching the front was wounded twice and
gassed once.
His application for discharge was torn
up upon deliberatiOn and he went back to
the front to participate In the battle of
Messines ridge. When the 100000 pounds
Of amm0nal are discharged to blow up Hill
60 Mack and his comrades go over the top
in the face Of heavy fire and lose about
20 per cent Of the men in casualties.
A long rest WAS ordered for the men In
reserve billets but at the expiration of two
weeks they experienced their first air raid
but came through 1t creditably. They took
over the first line from Scottish battalion
which failed to accomplish their objective
and went into action.
While trying to escape the German shrap-
mel Mack hides in q German trench. His
whole company Is almost wiped out In this
action. After two days Mack Is assigned to
detachment assigned to capture num-
ber Of German "pill-bOxes." While accom-
plishing this Mack is gassed.
An air raid Is staged by the Germans on
Mack's first night there and 20 were killed
and 45 wounded. Fourteen Of the dead
were Germans under treatment at the hos
pital.
The bombing Of the hospital was classed
as an act Of reprisal by a German officer in
retaliation for the shelling Of German Red
Cross train used to bring up reserve troops.
A gas attack was made by the Huns, in
which "ShellprOof Mack was gassed. He
was sent to the base hospital, where he re-
mained for a time and then got "blighty."
While cOnvalescent he passed his time at
Chatham. The ministrations Of the Red
Cross, both at the front, the base hospital
and the cOnvalescent stations in "blighty,"
he said, made all of the suffering and
danger in the trenches worth while.
Many queer questions asked the wounded
soldiers by well-meaning visitors at the
hospitals were told by Mack with an equal
number of pranks played by the wounded
soldiers on the nurses and doctors. After q
siege in the hospital Mack was discharged
from the British service October 26, 1917,
and returned to the United States.
