Slowly but surely the heaps of cloth
ing at the Red Cross Belgian Relief re
ceiving station are piling up and Thur
days receipts We're gratifying, though
considerably below what is necessary
to guarantee the success of the local
Undertaking. The excellent conditio7
of the clothing given thus far has been
mCst encouraging. Practically nothing
vet given has had to be discarded. and
o good many articles We're absolutely
rev and Just out of the stores. 1t is ev-
idert that the people OF Augusta haze
gone into this with the spirit Of divid'
ing their wcarable clothing with the
Belgians and it is apparent that this
CITY will send q shipment Of clothing
of which Augusta will justly be proud.
On the other hand il would not do TO
get the impression that nothing IS
wanted but clothing which is practi-
cally new. Almost anything in fair coa-
dition can be utilized in some way and
the best rule is. when in doubt, to seiti
the article to the receiving station aa'l
let the workers there decide.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking it's
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is just
ordinary inulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and sreaseless). 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
moisten the hair With water and rub 1t
IN. 1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses cut easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair hne ana
silky, bright, lustruus. huffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil 1t
any pharmacy. it's very cheaD. and q
few ounces will supply every fnembsf
Of the family for inenths.-Adr.

City Marshal Tyler calls the atten-
ton of parents to the necessity Of for
bidding their children from frequenting
the ice along the west shore of the riv-
ef just above the Kennebec bridge.
where the youngsters have been en-
gagged in gathering refuse wood which
vas thrown out of the ruin of the OAR
by block. Until within a day or two
the ice Of that locality has been safe
and the boys have carried away q lot
of broken boards and timber. but now.
although the mild weather has rotted
the ice to the extent that it is liable to
break up al any time, the boys don't
seem to realize that there is any dam
ger and Yesterday afternoon were run
ming back and forth on ice that hardly
appeared strong enough to bear the
weight of a cat. The ice in that To-
cality Is dangerous and Marshal Tyler
drove several lots of boys away from
there yesterday for fear the ice would
give way under them and they would
go into the water

cloudless. The day was not quite as
mild as vas Wednesday but still it was
mild enough to set the snow melting
