Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as 1t 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 a few ounces will last the
whole family 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.

Women's Reformatory Report.

was filed with the Governor and

We have hired a physician by the
year whose business it has been to
look after the health Of the institu-
ton" says the report. Frequently
the woman committed has been
found to have a communicable dis
ease. and sometimes her physical
condition would almost seem to ac-
count for her moral discrepancy.
I'VE have not allowed a woman to
leave the institution. even On parole.
until everything possible has been
done to put her into good physical
NcIIo1tIOi. HI " Ills We
have sought to teach her the i'm
portance Of caring for her health,
and every woman, whether or not she
requires medical aid. has shown
marked physical improvement as the
result Of good. plain. wholesome food
taken at regular intervals, plenty OF
sleep in a we'll ventilated room. a md
work in the house, laundry, garden
and fields.
"A trained nurse in the institution
has not only taught them to care for
themselves, but has taught them
valuable lessons in the care Of the
sick.
In the afternoon. the institution
resembles a we'll regulated boarding
school where the women Of all ages
gather eagerly in the assembly room
to receive instruction. All below the
high school stage Of development
have shown marked improvement.
Several have learned to read and
write.
We have recognized the virtue of
being useful as an aid to moral
Iectitude. An effort has been made
to teach each Of the women in the
useful arts OF preserving, cooking
and serving food. in laundry work, in
gardening, poultry raising and dairy
ing.
"A new and more wholesome man
ner OF thought and life is induced by
association with the good women
who are employed to care for them.
by the reading OF good books. by
music. and by closer familiarity
with nature and her teachings.
The Catholic and Protestant
churches Of Skowhegan have been
most kind and cordial in welcoming
the women TO their services. and this
bit Of association with the good peo-
pie Of the outside world seems to be
even more helpful thai regular serv-
