Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

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 mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much bet than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoon
fu1s will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
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 man.

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.

 To Mrs. Maris Cannaday, of Alamo, Tenn., goes the honor of receiving the first check. She is the mother of Corporal William Benjamine Canna- day Company M, 10th Infantry. The amount of the check was S25.

 Every enlisted man in the military and naval forces of the United States who has a wife and children depend ant on him is required to allot for their support during the war at least S15 a month, but not more than half his pay. To these allotments the gov ernment adds allowances ranging from $5 for one motherless child or 1 $l5 for wife without children and an additional amount if there be chil- dren. Allotments for wife and chil- dren are compulsory. But if the en- ! listed man wishes to make allotmants for dependent brother, sister, parent, or grandchild the government will add certain allowances thereto, depend ing on the size of the family and the amount, if any, already paid by the government to the enlisted man s wife or children.
 Commissioned officers are not ra- quired to make allotments and the government has provided allowances for their dependents.
 i To expedite the distribution of hun dreds of thousands of checks an extra night shift of clerks and typists is now working in the military and naval division of the Bureau of war Risk Insurance. Applications for govern. ment allowances are being received in great volume. A large number of applications for allotments required to be furnished by the soldiers has not yet been received and the War Risk Bureau has telegraphed the var ious cantonments and camps urging that these applications be fordwarded 1 promptly.

Fruit is recommended especially for the rheumatic, gouty, arteriosclerotic
 (preliminary period) and numerous other classes of invalids, for its con- tent of organic acids. Curiously enough, 1t appears to have value in chronic diarrhoea and even irritable
 stomach, although it would seem to be contraindicated. "Where there is danger of dehcency disease, as in the case oe bottle fed infants, sailors, etc.,
 the value of fruit juices is also well-

Claying the Sand.

Supervisor Broadwater has his
woodworking force claying the hea-
wy sand on the public road that
leads east of Johnston by Mr.. Rob-
ert Clark's, Mr.. Charlie Rauton's
and Mr.. Silas Yonce's. We drove
over this road yesterday and the
gang is working near the home Of
Mr.. Lewis Clark, making a modern
road of this much-traveled highway.
The clay is obtained from the ditch
alongside the road, making it much
easier and cheaper than hauling it
some distance. After this leading
thoroughfare is clayed practically
every public road east of Johnston
will have been wellzcoated with clay.
Mr.. Broadwater is doing good work
and the people of that section ap-
preciate it.
