Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing Hair

If you want to keep 70 lair in goo
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very
harmful. Just PLAIN mulsihed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely greaseless)
is much better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this cant possibly niure the
hair.
Simply moisten youy hair with water
and rub it in. One OF two teaspoonfuls
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 if leaves il fine
and silky. bright. fluffy and easy 10 man

SPORT AND THE KITTENS

Sport was n puppy and very fond OF
getting into mischief He di' not call ~
that, however. Sport thought II was Just
fun chasing kittens and tumbling over
his mistress work basket and pulling the
books in pieces.
His mother, good old Nipple, was
ALWAYS in trouble about her puppy.
Many q scolding did she give him, and
sometimes she sent him to bed without
his supper, but the next day Sport had
quite forgotten all she had said when he
saw kitten running down the street
HYou will get into trouble some day, ;"
said Nipple, ''if you do not stay in the
yard and let the kittens alone. Kittens
grow up to be cats, and cats scratch, and
all cats are not afraid OF dogs
IL can bark and they cant do that,
said Sport
you once felt their sharp claws you would
know how much your bark is worth, ="
said his mother.
Il can bite; ! guess my teeth are as
sharp as theirs" said Sport, and 80 he
did not take warning from his wise old
mother but kept on botherIng the kit
tens, especially those in the next yard
to where he lived.
One dav Sport was sitting in the yard
by the gate when big plate of meat and
bread was put out in the yard for his
dinner,
Sport jumped up to run for it when
he happened To see the three kittens
in the next ward He looked at the
plate and then AT the kittens, but the
temptation to chase the kittens over
came his appetite, and under the gate
he went and down the street after the
kittens
1t happened that Mrs. Tabby, the
kittens mother, WAS not far off sitting
on a fence, and when she saw Sport give
one Of her children poke with his nose

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
IT'S HOW-NOT WHAT!

~ INV INOl WUlhts
What a strange world this would
be if everybody won his fght9 II
there were none about but successful
people. But its strangeness would
be wrapped in kind of tragedy.
For a world demands color, CON
trasts, and oifdsets to make it real.
1t is worth more than the great
/ est fortune to humanity to have had
in its midst such brain as that OF
Robert Browning, who could at the
close of his life, say that what
aspircd to toe, and was not, COM
forts me"
It's the fine failures, who aspire
and work, yet who lose their point,
that make effort cndurable.
A friend of mine, III looking at
beautiful work of art with me,
recently remarked that he liked 1t
because the artist had made such
failure of his picture. That he had
attempted magnificent theme but
did not succeed with 1T.
| took an added interest In that
picture, after my friends remark
and wanted to own it as an inspira-
ton to me.
It's the way you take up and
handle the rcins of life that counts,
not wholly where you go or what
YOU do. Many years ago | came
across wonderful little poem that
learned. | will quote il rs ] recall
it.. | do not know the author.
'He cast his net at morn, when
fishers toll,
At ev'n he drew it empty TO the
shore;
He took the divers plunge into the
sea.
But thence, within his hands.
No precious pearls he bore;
He ran a race. but he never reached
the goal,
He sped an arrow, but nc missed
his aim:
And slept, At last, beneath a solitary
stone,
With no achievement carved about
his name.
Men called it failure, but as for
myself,
| dare not use the word
For what if Heaven, shall question,
I Ere its judgment shall be given:
Not hast thou won, but only
Hast Thou Strivcn"'
