This war work. Miss Fuller says.
sis the most interesting that 1 have
ever done. Within a short distance of
the city of Boston there are six army
stations and five naval stations. 1t is
the business of the associations to
provide entertainment for the soldiers
whenever they come to the city on
leave. We give dances, receptions
and other entertainments for them,
and Boston has the distinction of be-
ing the only city in America in which
there is a hostess house. All the other
hostess houses are at the army camps,
but the city of Boston has one also,
and as the men always come into
Boston when they have a furlough,

care of. On Thanksgiving Day every

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

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 rnulsi-
fled cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely gredseless), 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 wat
er and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls 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 ex-
cessive 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
