Alkali In Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep, your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much aikaif This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady Use is just ordinary nulsifled eecoanut oil (which is pure and gfeaseless), and is better than the most expensive Soap or anything else you can use.
 One or two teasp0onfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandfuff 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 cocoanat oil at any pharmacy it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for months. [

 LcSE. THEIR FLAG

At the Marlin Rockwell company $ plant on c floor Tuesday a large American flag which has hung in the room for some time has removed much to the wonderment and disap- pointment of those employed on that floor who have been in the habit of seeing Old Glory in front of them as they turned out munitions for tfiS great cause of democracy. The flag Was. a large one and was so placed, + is said, that 1t was in no danger of ge tting into any of the machines. Tie man who ordered it's removal said his orders came from headquarters.
 It would seem as if there was no better place for the flag of Freedom than in a intuition plant that was turning out arms which are to be used in defending it from the ravages ot autoefacY. In intuition factories Iii other cities flags are placed in all the rooms of the buildings.

of them wanted to get medical supplies

Usually the work of hauling supplies
for the canteen committee is done BY
the truck drivers of the motor corps,
however. Each local chapter owns its
own truck-sometimes several of them
and these are used to collect the many
articles that pass through thel hands of
the Red Cross. Bandages, surgical
dressings, old shoes. tin foil, old kid
gloves, clothes for refugees, ETC., are
some of the things handled by these
competent drivers. AS some of the

though you can imagine what a diff

We have been through the lines once

terestIng for US the first time so we
were ready to come back when our rest
was over.
We are occupying a rather quiet sec
ton at present, although some of the
big guns are always pounding away.
This was once a beautiful country but
is ruined close the lines. The villages
are in ruins from artillery fire and the
land is all torn to pieces by trenches,
dug outs and shell holes. | have seen
lots of France and the part not close the
lines is very nice yet. The women,
children and men above the army age
raise the crops to feed the soldiers and
themselves.
The villages and towns here are of an
old type. In some parts of France
there are herds of sheep cared for by
shepherds as of ancient times We see
things quite interesting every day which
keeps time from dragging. have been
over here almost three months but it
doesn't seem near so long.
When we went to Camp Gordon there
were FIVE of US Garrett county bows to-
gether, but now Ernest Gortner and
myself are all that are left. have
seen couple of the other BOYS over
here, though. There are so many bows
from Garrett over here that you probab-
ly would think we could see each other
often, but since we cannot write where
we are and the battle lines are over so

Letters From the Front Written

has sent the following to his mother
of near town:
July &c, 1918.

guess I'll soon get all my back mail in

that is.
suppose you are in the midst of a
big harvest. | can imagine how things
are looking back there. There are quite
number of wheat fields around close
and they are ripe. They are cutting
them and it Is amusing to watch their
crude fifty-year old methods. The
wheat crop is. to all appearances. a
good one. This seems to be a very
seasonable harvest. 1t does most
of its raining at night and not
much of it at that. Yesterday was a
fine day but it rained most all night and
is still at it this morning. The sun
comes out every once in awhile and
makes the old world look mighty bright.
Our shack has tendency to leak and
cOLlC VI uS udu " OuI GUS.
This is my week at the line and I'm
here. We have room to sleep in, a
room to eat in with stove. tables, ETC.,
and our operating room, which hasn't
been christened as vet. We arise about
7:30 breakfast on French toast, syrup,
coffee and butter; work about an hour
cleaning up, then pitch horse shoes,
play ball or something of the kind till
dinner; then we amuse ourselves as best
we can till supper, and supper is some
meal. Last night we had real pumpkin
pie, steak. white bread, tea, ETC.; then
till bed time we read, write or swap
lies out under the stars. | never get to
bed till twelve for our rations come in
about then and the sergeant has to stay
up and sign for it. Then another night
and the same routine over again.
l wish they'd leave me up here in
stead of having to spend four-fft of
my time in the back area.
The other evening we played one of
the infantry companies game of base
ball. Three enemy observation balloons
viewed the game and several airplanes
flew over during its progress. We beat
them Il to IA. Some game, that was.
/ sometimes wonder what Fritz thinks
of these Yankees playing ball between
the trenches. He's awaking to the fact
that they really mean business and can
stick up to their meaning.
There are some boys coming in here
who werelat Wesleyan the same time |
was. am anxious to see them before
we leave.
Well, mother. there is very little to
say and it is hard to write when one
gets no mail. but when we arrive where
it is I'll do some writing.
Just to let you know I'm thinking of
the home folks.
Lovingly.
