TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
GRANTED MAINE CENTRAL

A hearing on bill in equity brought
by the Maine Central Railroad Co.
against Benjamin w. Guptill of Her
mon for temporary injunction was
held Tuesday before Chief Justice
Cornish.
The defendant had piled logs on
the side of a town way at Herman
Pond Station. between the Travelled
portion of the way and the line of
the railroad. At that point the rail-
road company had a sidetrack and a
platform for loading and unloading
merchandise. These logs constituted an
obstruction so that shippers could not
reach the platform and could neither
send nor receive their freight. After
the conclusion of the hearing the tenn
porary injunction was granted.
Carroll n Perkins of Waterville rep
resented the plaintiff. The defendant
appeared in his own behalf.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which IS
very injurious, as It dries the scalp
ana makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
lnulsined cocoanut OIL for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all 70 pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IT in, about a teaspoonful is all
that Is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance OF rich. creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking. bright. fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle OF
dust. dirt and dandruff.-Adv.
