Careless Use of Soap
 Spells the Hair

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

The largest number of people, out side the time when the two local militia companies left the city, as- sembled at the New York. New Ha- ven and Hartford railway station to bid farewell to the fifty men who left on the $50 train Thursday morning for Camp Upton. The scene was more or less pathetic as mothers bid their boys goodbye and friends clasped hands perhaps for the last time.
 All the men reported at the draft board rooms promptly at G.3o with the exception of five. two of whom will go from other places. Those who did not appear are Warren o. Sisson, Joseph Frincona and Ralph Williams. MT. Williams reported at the board rooms on Wednesday afternoon, coming from Utica, N. Y. but after his reporting he has not been seen. He had regis tered at the Wauregan hotel but could not be found on Thursday morning.
 Efforts are being made to locate the missing men and if not located alter mates will be sent in their places.

Every good American wants to do something for the cause, and there are many ways to help, even if you can't wear the "olive drab" or the "navy blue."
 One of them is to save on clothes so that more wool and labor can be released for war work.
 When you buy, get clothes that wear a long time; that look well as long as they wear.
 We're trying to help by sell ing only that kind of clothes. SUITS $22.50 TO $500 10 per cent. of Saturdays sales will be donated to the Red Cross.
