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 much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsihed 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
moisten the hair with water and rub It
IN. 1t 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 mulsihed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

scoRNS FERRETS;
HUNTS WITH A RAT
Keeps Hold OF "siIIie" by Wire ~
tached to a Metal Band Around
His Neck.

Cleveland, n. Y James Stubs.
lage, in Oneida County, is known as
one of the best hunters in this sect.
ion. This winter when the State Con.
servatiou Commission granted per.
mission TO use ferrets for hunting rab-
bits in Oswego County, Mr.. Stubs
neighbors over the line "joshed" him
because he could not enjoy the same
privilege. The neighbors would hunt
with ferrets. returning home nights
with rabbits which they would dis
play to Mr.. Stubs.
But Mr.. StuuGs was not to be out
done. A few mornings ago his neigh
bors saw him start out with gun and
bag over his shoulder. They called
to him that he would get caught with
his ferret" but he laughed. Late in
the afternoon he returned home with
ten rabbits which he showed to his
DeighborS.
Mr.. Stubs did net use a ferret
Rats recently got into his cellar and
were eating his vegetables He set
a box trap and a few days later
caught an extra large rat. He made
a metal collar, placed it around the
rats neck and fastened long wire
to the collar. Then he placed the rat
In bag and started out.
Mr.. Stubs traced a rabbit to It's
hole, fastened the end of the wire to
his belt and released the rat. The
rat entered the hole and drove out
the rabbit, which was shot The rat
was pulled from the hole. put in the
bag and the hunt continued until ten
rabbits had been shot.
Mr.. Stubs says the rat is better
than ferret for the reason that it
will not attack a rabbit He has nam
ed it billie" Other Oneida County
hunters are planning to try tame
white rats on the rabbits, but Mr..
Stubs AYERS they will not work.

SEVEN THOUSAND BLIND MEN.

About 1000 soldiers OF the Allied
armies were rendered permanently
blind by the war. One fourth as
many may be unable to respond to
the treatment now being given to pre-
vent the same catastrophe for them.
In former years instead of perman-
nently blind, we should have said
"hopelessly' and these 1000 men
would have become mostly depend
cents, pitied, enslayed by a mistaken
the blind does not mean a tin cup
for pennies and black and tan pup
for a guide. l, means Teach the
blind, Teach them from an amazing
range OF subjects, for which their in
firmity fits them rather than disQuali-
fes them
1t would be hard to find a more
interesting or encouraging talk on
the subject than an address to the
blinded soldiers written by King
George Of England, which has been
printed in raised letters so that it can
. be read easily by the men who can
not see. He says in part; IF there
is one thing which | can urge upon
you, it is not to despair The time
has gone by when a blind man was
being without resources, incapable
of providing for himself or enjoying
life. Hundreds of our soldiers who
lost their sight in this war have al
ready, thanks to their strength Of
soul, their patience, and assisted by
professional education, learned 10 re-
sumo their former occupations"
The marvellous part of it is that the
professional education has been
given since the men were blinded
and means intensive education to fit
the man to do, without his eyes, what
he did before he lost his sight.
lNot only to the blinded soldier.
but to all who are sightless. this mes
sage is one of hope and inspiration
The blind are to be led by way that
they know not. Begging. basketry
and piano-tuning are no longer the
limits which circumscribe the blind
man. But just like everybody who
ever accomplishes anything, he must
have strength of soul and patience. >
For his helpers can give him only the
opportunity; his use Of it depends up
on himself

Harrisburg, Pa.--"Paper-so slip
per5 in miuwinter worn over ley pave
ments, as contrasted with ecks muf-
fled in fur, are obviously a source Of
real Danger" is the point made by
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health
Commissioner, in urging women to
make their costumes accord with the
winter weather. He stated in the
same connection that men, as rule,
have made their dress fit the period
OF the year, but that there are dangers
in extreme attention to adornment on
the part Of women.
Eve was the firat human being to
concern herself with the matter OF
costume" DR.. Dixon said. To-day,
some evidence to the contrary, the
primary object OF clothing is to pro-
tect the body from heat and cold.
Mans dress has through all ages, of
necessity, conformed more CT less to
these practical purposes.
"Women's clothing has been and
continues TO be subject to far greater
extremes. While it would be ia: from
desirable to take beauty and colo out
of our lives, for the sake of the wear
er's health, certain reasonable precau-
tons should be observed.
The growing army OF women in
business, whose occupation demands

sisters whose chief aim is personal
adornment."
