pare in your own home at little cost.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce

1t Was a Disappointment
but They Had the Hike

1t takes a real scout to have his
mind changed at a moments notice
and still bob up smiling. This is
what happened to the scouts of Troop
Thirteen who were all set for hike
to Lambs Gap and in fact, some even
appeared with packs on their backs,
when the scoutmaster said:-"Too
wet boys; the hike will be postponed"
Such a disappointed bunch of fellows,
you never saw. But the scoutmaster
hands it to the troop that they took
the biggest disappointment the troop
has ever had in a real scout way
And instead of hike. they turned
out for one of the best scout meetings
the troop has had for some time.
The hiking committee under the
leadership of Scout MaglauchIin or
dered a hike, the weatherman permit
ting, to Wildwood Park for Satur-
day. And say fellows, even though
it did rain Friday night. the scouts
almost wore out the scout masters
telephone on Saturday morning re-
ceiving the joyous news that the hike
was on. Now Troop Thirteen scouts
live all over town; so when hike
is called for, convenient place is
established for the real start of the
hike and from there on, the first
party lay scout strategy mark till
they came to the agreed camp site
where the first party start the fires
going and make camp. This is the
program that was followed out on
Saturday morning and even If the
oods was wet, five tenderfeet," got
off their fire building test with two
matches. While they were doing this,
an officer of the park commission
happened along and notified the
scouts that there were no fires to
be built in the park but seeing they
were scouts, he closed his eye and
went away, knowing that scouts will
never leave a burning fire. While
this test was going on, three shrilI
blasts from a scout whistle was heard
from down the road, notifying. the
scouts that another batch of fellows
were on the trail and would soon
be in camp. After taking off all the
outside tests possible and when the
scouts were making sure that their
fires were out, an old gentleman, "a
lover of nature" happened along and
in a very sad tone told the scout
master that the little glen had once
been the prettiest point in the park
but that in recent years, careless
parties had piled so many rocks
around to build fire places that the
beauty of the glen was lost forever
This was too much for the scouts of
Troop Thirteen and before they left
the glen, every rock was removed
from the grass leaving the glen in
condition and hoping that
when this old gentleman again visits
the glen his heart will be filled with
gladness. After a day of filed full
fine scout games, the Troop returned
t. town, as many of Thrteen's scouts
have other duties to perform at four
o'clock

CoCoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. just
plain mulSified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use
for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly inJure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust.
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is yery
cheap, and q few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.
