the coveted free tickets. as only 100
persons can be taken on each trip.
But all the other trips the Y. M. G. A.
has arranged for American soldiers
and sailors are studies In beauty and
art and history amid pleasures and
palaces, and the eagerness and in
telligence with which the boys 60
on these expeditions Is plain evidence
of their essential soundness of heart
and mind.
The first day, as rule, the boys get
aboard the big "Y" sightseeing auto
mobiles and see Paris. Then they go
by special train to the palaces of
Versailles, Fontainebleau, Malmaison
and st. Germain. Next they come
back to Paris and spend day In the
Louvre. And then those still keen
for palaces are invited to take another
trip to the Jewel of them all, the IA
nous chateau Of the Condos and Mont
morencys at Chantilly.
Thousands O. American soldiers have
visited Chantilly this year and have
learned something of a place which
many wealthy tourists overlooked. In
deed, though many Americans visited
Chantilly In years before the war. a
large percentage of them saw only the
race course and never visited the
chateau. Yet many experts hold that
though number Of other museums

wOrld--not excepting the Louvre-is

COcoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want 10 keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash II
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkan. 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
cant nossibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub Il in. One or two tea" oonfuls
VIII make an abundance Of rich, creamy
Mtler, and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out east
~, and removes every particle Of dust.
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves 1t fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t Is very cheap,
and q few ounces is enough to last
sSyeryons IN the family for months.
