absolutely impossible without some

There are three methods by which
submarines are served with oil ana
ammunition. One is to have shore

or "a waste piece Of land and use that
as base for their supplies. Another
base is what is known as the temporary
base. A sailboat or other vessel may

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

eSap should be sed very carefully, n

DOCS contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is JUS
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moiaten the hair with water and rub II
in. It makes an abundance of rich
creamy lather, which rinses out easily

dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves

You can get mulsi1ed cocoanut Oil at
any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
of +ne family for months.
