to: serve me. Yet there was one
blood-chilling story that my boy John
told to me, and that the finding OF
that bit of Black Watch tartan brings
TO my mind. He'told it to me as we
sat before the fire in my wee house
at Dunoon, just few nights before he
went back to the front for the last
time. We were talking of the war
what else was there to talk about?
1t was seldom that John touched
on the harsher things he knew about
the war. He preferred, as rule,
to tell me stories of the courage and
the devotion of his men, and Of the
light way that they turned things
when there was so much chance for
grief and care. ...E
"One night, dad" he said, eve had
battalion Of the Black Watch on our
right, and they made a pretty big raid
on the German trenches. 1t develop

other war, but one trifiing enough and
! unimportant in this one. The Ger

Watch had supposed, and had REIN
| forcenEnts ready, and 90 of the High
landers were captured. The Germans
took them back into their trenches,
and stripped them to the skin. Not a
stitch or a rag OF clothing did they
leave them, and, though it was April,
it was a bitter night, with wind to
cut even a man warmly clad to the
bone.
"All night they kept them there,
standingNat attention, stark naked, so
that they were half frozen when the
gray, cold light of the dawn began
TO show behind them in the east. And
then the Germans laughed, and told
their prisoners to go.
"'Go on--go back to your own
trenches. as you arep they said.
"Thc addies of the Black Watch
could scarcely believe their ears.
There was about Is yards between
the two trench !;aes at that point,
and the No Mans Land was rough
going--all shell-pitted as it was. By
that time, too, of course, German re-
pair parties had mended all the wire
before the trenches. So they faced a
rough journey, all naked as they were.
But they started.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leadingladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooing, not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting a teaspoonful-- of Canthrox
(which they get from the druggist)
in cup of hot water and applying
this instead of soap. This full cup
of shampoo liquid is enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. After
its use, the hair. dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
it looks much heavier than it is, its
luster and softness are delightful

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified 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,

family for months.

and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful
