AIkAII IN SOAP

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking

This dries the scalp makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.

The first government savings

Father Of Thrift.

Just 214 years ago there was born
in the city of Boston a baby whose
destiny it was that posterity should
honor as The father Of thrift. From
the last clause of the foregoing, al
most any school boy or girl would
readily guess that the baby was Ben
jamin Franklin. Who does not re-
member Franklin's proverbs of thrift.
"a penny saved is a two pence earn
ed" "He who by the pillow would
thrive must hold the pillow himself or
drive" Early to bed and early to
rise makes q man healthy and
WISE" all these and many nor say
irgs come to mind when the name
Of Franklin is mentioned.
Franklin was the most notable Dip
lomat sent out by America in the dark
days of the revolution. His success
in the negotiations with France pro-
badly can be regarded as the turn
ing point of the wal from threatened
ultimate defeat to victory. In addi-
ton to all this Franklin was consid-
cradle Of an inventor. The things
he devised seem rather small when
compared with the great inventions
of our own time, but in their way
they were of Importance, and some
of the most notable of modern i'm
provements are based upon them.
The stove as devised established the
principle upon which the hot-air fur
mace is built. The lightning he drew
from the clouds with his kite and
string was the precursor of electric
activity of today.
But when memory recalls but dim
1y these claims to distinction, humani-
