Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care full what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much allxaii, which is very injurious. as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain musified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap. and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather. elesnses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evennly. and is soft. fresh looking, bright. fluffy. wayy and easy to handle Besides, it ioosens and takes out every particle ow dust, dirt and dandruff

Good Sales of Thrift stamns.

The sale of thrift stamps in this city during the latter part of March was very encouraging to the officials.

 Dear Father Keefe:
 I am just thinking of Plainfield and all the folks there, and it seems as if it is all a dream to be here amidst all this war business, after being in that peaceful town. I can't say much or account of the censorship, but will have a great story to tell you when see you again. How is everything iE the good old burg? I get letters from my wife, but you know she is a very quiet person and seldom goes away from home, so she never can tell me any of the news or of things thai happen around the town. Are yol interested in coins of different coun- ftries? I am, and am making quite z collection of them, especially the Ital- ian coins. I have got hold of a few of the church coinage, a few soldas with the pope's head on them, anC will try to get a few more to brins home for some of my Catholic friend. in town. They will appreciate then as much as anything, I imagine, as know they interest me, although 1 an not a church member
 I hope to visit Rome before ge home. I have been to church severa ', times, and it is very interesting, i from only a historical point of view to sit in a church that has been il use for hundreds of years and thinl that maybe some of the old saints anC dignitaries of Christianity founded them in the old days, for after al this is the cradle of our civilization and Christianity.
 Some of the churches have wonder ful work in them, in the line of archi lecture and carvings, in wood ant l marble, as well as paintings. I an learning to speak Italian and hope t, be able to speak the language befor, get back. Fancy me addressing tn, Italian voters for the congressional O senatorial district next election, in tn interest of the democratic party can didates. Hey! What?
