nut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you Wnsh it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoauut oil (which is pure and en- tireIy greaseless) Is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly The lather rlnses out easily and removes every particle of dust dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair drdes quickly and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and silky. bright. fiuffy and easy to man age.
 You can get muisified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. 1t is very cheap. and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

SAYS ACID STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION
EXCESS OF HYDRocHLoRIc ACID SouRS THE FOOD AND !
 FORMS GASES

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, Or rather, fernantsz the same as food left in the open air. says noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydro-chloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di- gestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in ! a can. forming acrid fluids and gases
 which inf1ate the stomach like a toy
 balloon Then we feel heavy,
 lumpy misery in the chest, we heleh
 up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, hatulence, water -brash or nausea
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive
 aids and instead, get from any plar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of
 water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing, and further
 more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it 1 is important to neutralizG the acidity, remove the gas making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure di- gestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made l from the acid of grapes and lemon 1 juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is
 used by thousands of people for stom ach trouble with excellent results.

 The response of the people Of Nor wien and vicinity to the appeal issued by the Supply company, Fort Wright, for Victrola records has met a very generous response. All of the records received have been turned over to the Norwich boys at the fort. A sugges- ton has been made to The Bulletin by Harry J. Schulman, secretary of the Y. M. c. A. headquarters at the fort, that any other records received be turned over to the r. M c. A, as that is the central meeting place for all the boys at the fort, and the Norwich boys from all the companies could enjoy the music if the recordsl are sent in MT. Schulman's care. The suggestion is a good one and The Bulletin will gladly forward to the Y. M. c. .a-. care of Mir Schu1man, any records which may be presented for this purpose.
 Mir. Schulman's letter follows:
 Fort Wright, Y. M. c. A Fishers Island, N. Y., March 4. 1918. The City Editor, The Bulletin, Nor
 wich Conn: My Dear Sir:
 I want to. voice my approval to the interest which you have awakened among the Norwich friepds and which has resulted in your collecting large number of Victrola records for the boys of the Supply company at Fort Wright Music means so much to a soldier at the end of days work and am sure the men will appreciate the kindness of their thoughtful friends at home. I find, however, that there are Nor wich men in nearly all the companies and batteries here. and while the men in the Supply company will derive much pleasure from the records, a number of other men from home will be denied this pleasure
 May suggest that the other rec ords which will be sent to you be sent to the Y. M c. A. here at Fort Wright This is the central meeting place for all the boys and the Norwich men from all the companies can enjoy the music if the records are sent in Our care
 I write this from no selfish point OF view, but being one Of your Norwich men would like to see the helpfulness of our friends at home be as far req ching as possible.
 If you desire you may publish this letter so that if those who read it may have some records for the boys we shall be very happy to receive them for their use.
 Very sincerely,

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarrnless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tahlets-the suhsti. t1te for calomel = are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-cclored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't inj,ire the teeth like strong liquids or calo1nel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth! Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. itis best not to take calonek but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches. @dullnessn and thal lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered> liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when yeu feel s1oegys and sheavy." Note how they 'teiearn clouded brain and how they sperk up'' the spirits l0c and 2sc a box. All druggists -

INTERNAL REVENUE RULING.
Bureau Explains Provisions of the Ex-
 cess Profits Tax Law.

It has been brought to the atten- tion of the Bureau of Internal Revenue that several trade organizations have issued to their members bulletins er- roneousty advising them that incre- ment or appreciation in property val ues ascertained by an appraisal may be treated as earned surplus or undi- vided profits and included in invested capital for the purpose of the excess profits tax.
 The excess profits tax law express ly places the computation of invested capital upon the basis of the cash and other property actually put into the business and not upon that of 2 pres ent valuation or appraisal of it's as- sets. Regulations fl realtive to the excess profits tax point out in detail just how invested capital should be computed
 The following statement on the sub feet was issued by the Bureau Tues day:
 While the Bureau is gra tful for the assistance which has been rendered by trade organizations in the administra- ton of the present war taxes and en- tertains no donbt that these particular bulletins were issued in good faith. yet it cannot be too enphatically stat ed that they are based upon 4 mis- apprehension of the express orovi- sions of the law and of the regulations issued the reunder and that if not cor feeted they will result in great in- convenience both to the government and the taxpayer.
 Returns in which the invested cap ital include surElus or undivided prof. it's computed upon present values as determined by an appraisa. cannot be accepted. It is to the inter est of hoth the government and the taxpayer thai this fact be given the widest publicity 1 in view of the misapprehension which may have been caused by unofficial statements to the contrary"

WATERFORD MAN INSANE
Julius Darrow Committed to inc Nor
 wieh State Hospital.

The alertness of Health Office E. c. Chipman of New London, probably saved Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs from being shot by Julius " Darrow at the latter's house in Waterford, Monday afternoon.
 Deputy Sheriff Tnbbs had received numerous complaints from residents in Waterford regarding the actions of DarroW who was alleged to be de- mented. For the past year and half DaIToW has been acting queerly but he has apparently been harmless.
 Monday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Tubbs, Constable Fred Dinmock and Drs Ghipman and Ross D. Black went to Darrow's home near the Waterford station for the purpose of examining the man as regards his sanity. The officers and physicians went to the door and Darrow came out. They had him engaged in conversation when DarfoW suddenly shut the door in their faces. The officers were teo quick for him, however, and they snatched it open again before he could
 lock it.
 Deputy Sheriff Tubbs started through the door. but as quick as he was Health Officer Chipman was quicker Like flash he was in the room anu pOunCSu upOn 0dIIOW as the latter had rQ1ched a cupboard nearby and made for a big tin can on shelf. The physician soon had Dar- row down. In a second Deputy Sher- if Tubbs, Constable Dimmock and Dr.
 Black came to his assistance and
 Darrow was overpewered and hand
 cuffed.
 Out of curiosity the officers lifted LID the can which Darrow had at 1 tempted to reach and found revolver under it. There is no doubt but that l Darrew would have used the revolver had he succeeded in getting it, his evi- dent victim being Deputy Sheriff 1 Tubbs, who was the first through tht 1 door
 1 Later Darrow was examined anC found to be mentally unbalanced anC ordered committed to the state hos pital for the insane at Preston by 1 Judge of Probate Arthur B. Caldns.
