WENT COLONEL ONE BETTER
Occasion When laxative Old Bore
Met More Than His Match at
the Club.

Several and various were the uncom-
plimentary EXPLANATIONS heard when
the laxative Col Cholmondeley Fitz-
Fulke strolled into the Back-to-Nature
club one evening just in time to hear
a discussion going on about the crows
In the cornfelds and their part In tho
winning Of the war.

smilingly, followed by smoker

"Er-ah--yes You see, the crows
in our cernf1eld became SO used to our
regular scarecrow that they grew
quite fond of him. And they used to
bring him grains Of corn and deposit
them in his pockets and corncob pipe.

melting sight. gentlemen" and the
colonel flicked a sentimental tear from
his eyeglass.

crows that had stolen ten bushels of
corn came back the next day and put

The Vedda of CeyIon.

Students have long been interested
in the Australian aborigine, the Afri-
can bushman, and the Ceylonese
Vedda. The Veddas are recorded as
far back as SAB B. c., and their Gus
toms and beliefs are thought to have
changed but little since the stone age.
But the Veddas, on report of traveller
lately returned from the wilds of Cey-
Ion, are reaching the end of this
peculiar interest. For now hardly
a Vedda faithful to the traditions Of
his ancestry survives: not one, per-
haps, that wears leaves for clothing
and depends for subsistence solely on
the products of the Jungle" The how
and arrow are still sometimes used,
but have been largely supplanted by
old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns,
and the skillful archery for which the
Veddas were notable has become
lost art. In this Ceylon jungle few
typical Veddas are left, but these are
isolated specimens. In any circum-
stances 1t has been held that the
Veddas are incapable of civilization.
But then that depends, of course, on
what is meant by civilization.

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
n1ulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseIess. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
Soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this a any drug store, and
4 few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it 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 han
die. Besides. it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam
druff.-Adv.

took place in new crop months, De cember and May, neither of which broke to sensational extent. Before the day ended, September showed 62c a bushel decline since July 10, where as the extreme setback of deferred de- liveries was 45Q54c. Nevertheless, both December and May today touched the lowest level this season. Attempts to rally the market were checked by bears putting all emphasis possible on the fact that values were still far above pre-war basis.
 Oats like corn fell to new low rec ord prices for the season, despite i'm proved demand from the seaboard.
 Provisions reflected grain weakness. Subsequently an advance in the hog market operated as something of a cOunterbalance.
