to be stored?
This problem is occupying attention
of experts in the bureau of markets

Last year. with crop of approx

granaries with portable bins also
come in for favorable recommenda-

wheeled out of boy king many CEN
turtles ago.
All the dukes at this notable inquisi-
ton stood on their rights and fought
back with defiant answers, which was
a tactical mistake on their part. They |
apparently forgot that the sovereign |
power of Britain now is not a king. !
but host Of 100000 voters, only |
thirty Of whom are dukes.
The effect Of the clash between
dukes and labor leaders has been
electrical. One peer-Lord Esher,
who is distinguished for his wisdom
and craftsmanship, has written lit
tie book on the problems Of the times
and dedicated 1t to Robert Smile, the
labor leader.
II selected Mr.. Smile" says Lord
Esher. "as being, SO far as I could
Judge, the leader OF the new DEM
ocracy."
There is no growing hostility to
lords-only to dukes and bishops, as
these are the land owners. They are
not financial and industrial, as most
! lords are.
Few Of the dukes and fewer still
of the bishops played heroic part In
the war; but sixteen members Of the
house Of lords were killed in action,
and 1872 sons of peers met the same
fate.
The war record of the established
church Is not at all heroic. In the
early days of the war many Of the
clergy were strongly pro-German; and
in the ordeal of CONSUMPTION. the An.
| glican clergy obtained complete ex-
| emption.
Bishop Runs From Mob.
Last week a bishop was sen upon
and nearly mohbsd in an English
! park. He was tainted about his large
income and his palace. He ran away.
The stern displeasure Of the crowd
frightened him.
These high officials of the church
of England are not at all like Ameri-
can bishops. They ere all state dig
nitaries and law makers. They own
land and receive money from the
state.
In order of precedence, the two
archbishops walk ahead Of the prime
minister, who walks ahead of the
dukes.
Thus dukes and bishops are on the
same footing. Neither are industrial.
Neither have anything whatever to
do with trade and commerce.
l. Strange as 1t may seem, it is still
quite true that the passing of the
dukes and bishops will lnot affect
either the capitalists and financiers
on the one side or the royal family
on the other.

SUN SHINES AGAIN

For month Annie struggled on at
the office, feeling dead inside and a
mass Of quivering nerves upon the
surface. To see Bernie daily going
in and out of the Office, to wonder
what his movements were and who
might be his companion, to imagine
his feelings Of disappointment In her
and his satisfaction at being free
again-tortured Annie's sick mind al
most endurance. A dozen times she
was on the point of recalling him,
begging his forgiveness, promising
anything, abandoning all pride. But
she held on until she could no longer
stand the strain.
She resolved to seek another posi-
ton and trust to new environment
to give her strength and courage.
Meanwhile Margaret Bailly was

Alkali in Shampoos
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 Mulsifed
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats 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 1t in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich. creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle
Besides, it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.-
