Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
YOU want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham.
poos contain too 4nuch alkali 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 any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moislen the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy laiher, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandrufl 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 mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. its very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member OF the
family for months.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES

The other day when Uncle Jed was walking among the dahlias an odd bit of color in big flower attracted his attention. He was about to examine the golden brown spot when it sprang upon him and then it sprang upon the foliage of dahlia near by, and he recognized 1t as hyla or tree toad
 Of the toad tribes these are the pigmies and we hear them chirruping in the trees very much oftener than we see them, and they are sometimes mistaken for a bird.
 They can spring long distances like the flying squirrel and their feet are SO formed that whatever they light upon they are as sure footed as a fly.
 The Hyla's chirruping is decidedly musical, and when it is heard great many people say that it is going to rain, but I hardly think the Hyla is 'he caller up of or the forerunner of a shower.
 The one hid in the dahlia to sur prise insects and to feed upon them was of a soft dove brown color and the only beauty it could boast of was his color, for he was as homely in form as any of the Bufo tribe.
 The tree toad is not often surprised and I never saw one before among the dahlias. He only chirrups in the hot test days in summer, hence he is not expected at this season to make a sound.
 How such a tender little creature endures the frost and ice of winter seems to be past finding out

 We were divided up into squads. Ours was the Stormy PetreP squad, and the girls in it were Stormy Petes" We also had the bad luck to be allotted to a councillor who owned a tin whistle, which she used so much that all you had to say was, Stormy Petrels foot, toot!" to raise a laugh, for the rest of the summer.
 The Stormy Petrels" were not so bad, however for we found an old chest with the bottom and top knock ed out. and it made a fine pantry An old wash basket we found made an excellent loof to our pantry Then some of tie girls put up a shelter out of q rul CT blanket and some drift wood, so we were fixed comfortably enough to draw the envious eyes of all the other squads.

How I Raieed My Peppers.

My pepper seeds were first planted in boxes in the house. These boxes were watered every day and placed in the sun so that the seeds would grow. As soon as the seeds began to grow and it became warmer the boxes were placed outdoors in the sun dur ing the day. Every two or three days these little plants were fertilized a little.
 When they were about six inches hZgh l set some of them out in my garden. I dug a small, hole for each plant and placed a little fertilizer in the bottom of each hole. Then I placed little dirt over the fertilizer and set the plants in. I pushed the dirt down firmly around the roots of the plants, being sure to put in plenty of dirt.
 For few day7 1 had to water the plants night a1d morning to keep them from willing and dying. AS soon as they got a good start in the ground I stopped watering them en- tirely. After this all that I had to do was to keep them weeded until the peppers got large enough to pick.

Little Neiqhbors.

It was about the middle of June that a par Of song sparrows began building nest in a clump of dead grass beside a newly built cottage.
 One day man in cleaning up the yard and not knowing the locality of the nest, tore out the nest and carried it off. leaving the birds in great dis tress.
 The owner of the cottage, who had watched the birds making the first nest, didn't expect them to- come back where they had been so badly treated but about two weeks, after in the same clump of bushes where the first nest had been there was the nest rebuilt with four eggs in it.
 The eggs were grayish white, speck- led with brown and lavender. The birds had brown heads trimmed with gray bands. Their backs were gray ish brown and underneath they were gray, streaked with dark brown. The distinguishing mark of the song spar row is black spot on the breast
 The only visible difference in the two nests was that the first faced the east and the second the west. Per haps the mother bird intentionally turned her back on her troubles. The nest was deeply sunken in the ground beneath tightly woven roof of dead grass; it was round, neatly made and perfect
 If anyone has ever watched an old hen on nest he knows how that little song sparrow fiuffed out her feathers and spread her wings in broad fash ion.
 Pretty soon there were four fuzzy nestlings in the nest They slept and grew most of the time, filling the nest more and more until at an hour known only to themselves they flew away.
 Father Song Sparrow is an un- wearied soloist, and as they say that the sparrow family sing twelve dis tnct songs, the four song sparrow | children from the grass nest will sure ly have something to keep them from remembering that winter is coming when they begin taking music lessons.

Thrift Stamp School.

Our school has forty six dollars and seventy-five cents in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps We have only about twenty-siX scholars in our school
 Now am going to tell the Wide AWakes how our school is helping. It is just small country school but it is helping Uncle Sam very much. hVeryoody writes on both sides of their paper and do not waste it. They don't use their pencils or pen and ink unless it is Iecessary, and in this way they save the money and buy Thrift Stamps for it.
 The only way we can help is by not wasting and with the money that is saved buy Thrift Stamps.

 Grace, on the other hand, opened the box of filing cards before her. and hurriedly began to sort them. Her fountain pen needed filling and she had to hunt the ink bottle. When she returned to her desk, she made mistake in her cards, and made sev- eral errors on the record sheet. This necessitated a search for an eraser, which she finally found after shuffiing everything in and on her desk. MT. Barker, in his half-hour round, found her nervous and vexed, vigorously erasing figures on the record sheet.
 Emily placed all her records on scratch paper first. and then copied them neatly on the record sheet. Grace's sheet was untidy and plotted. When the two girls handed them in at noon, Grace said petulantly, This sheet is a mess.
