This mixture should be used after
the hair has been made ready for
dressing by removing all the tangles.
This done, one should put about half a
teaspOonful of the mixture in the palm
Of the left hand and rub the right into
It. With both hands the hair is gent
ly rubbed and patted smooth from
forehead to neck, oiling it, but so
slightly that the application is not Wis
ible. Afterward dressing proceeds in
the usual way. Occasionally a woman
should use a slightly wet brush after
the oiling. This must not be applied
every day or the effect Of too much
water will be drying.
Another liquid for the same purpose
is made from one-quarter of an ounce
Of gum benzOin and four ounces of
high-proof alcohol. After the gum is
dissolved the liquid is strained through
coarse brown paper and two ounces
of castor oil and half a dram. each of
oils of geranium and bergamot are
added. This is put on by the same
process as was described above.
Neither of these is to be regarded as
a tonic or used as substitute, for they
are distinctly dressings, and the man.
ner in which they are put on in no
way affects the scalp. To feed the
scalp it is necessary that whatever is
put on shall be rubbed into the pores.

ouery.-what do you think Of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
1t lends? Does Il really PAY to paint
house regularly say. every three or four
years7
Answer.-Good paint properly APP
piled when needed is the main thing in
making house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at
cost Of about $125. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost Of which will be 81, S95.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So
taking 60 years as a basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. with
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 30 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtie@s year ar
rived. Cost without paint, $1,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

O. E S TIONN AIR E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExiNo PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Qusry.--The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building In order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement TO
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace
Employment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute II normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now Off, and there is
scarcely town, city, a factory, a
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost Is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost OF paint, the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

That Biggest Gold Shipment.

The Cunarder Aquitania arrived al
New York the other day from South
ampton, via Cherbourg, with the big.
gest shipment of gold ever carried on
one steamship to this country.
The gold bullion was packed In 3S4
wooden boxes clamped with iron bands
and the value estimated at 1874 mil
lion dollars In United States cur
rency. On the voyage II was kept In
the specie room under charge of the
purser and the chief officer.
The entrance TO the specie room
was guarded the entire trip and was
watched by members of the crew and
the company's detectives from the
pier until the gold was taken from
the ship. The greater part of the
specie goes to the Federal Reserve
bank toward the payment of Great
Britain's share of the Anglo-French
loan due October Is.
The largest shipment of gold previ-
ously carried on one vessel was 1917

German Lloyd liner Cecilie In August,
1914, for England. but brought back

Capt. Frank Rufus Pendleton, first
Jfticer of the freight steamer Andra,

easy to keep the log in rhyme. In

Old Neptune he is full of rum, and
we are sorry to have come into the

Biscay brine; we swallow quarts from
time to time; | think we're picked
for all time with salty, bitter Biscay.

stare; he jumps around and tears his
hair, and says 'twouId make an angel
swear, this - old Bay of Biscay. The
chief looks o'er his bunkers sharp.

coal should fail short on this ark, in

Our parson puts all tears to rout, he
trusts in God, his heart is stout, but
wants to swing the lifeboat out, for
the devil rules old Biscay. The good
ship at the seas does bound; she tries
in vain to knock them down, then
backs away and goes out round the
mountainous seas of Bscay.
For days and days we bob around
our only notions up and down, the
old ship makes - poor clown
for aerohatie Riscay. The cocks are
pans they run, but dinners always
sure to come, they are the cooks for
Biscay. The engineers down in the
hole, they only say gol blame my soul,
just you see this old ship roll, on
bloody, bloomin' Biscay. For four long
days we've stood the gaff, but not dis
couraged, no, not half; we're getting
used to Biscay's chaff, We'll soon be
out of Biscay. There's one thing sure,
I've lots of time to put this old bay
into rhyme; we'd rather put it far be.

'The good old ship she isn't weak.
old Biscay cannot make her leak, or
even make her timbers creak; she
deties the Bay of Biscay. She's load
ed deep with iron ore, it tries her to
the very core; she doesn't even pinch
door, she laughs at rough old Bis
cay. Our company says the caps a
dear as to the channel we draw near,

start After the Rats.

Rats, which cause considerable loss
to farmers, should be fought consist
emily, says the biological department
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Rats reproduce so rapidly
that spasmodic raid on them is not
lasting. They begin to bear young
when three months old and have six
to ten iitters per year with an average
OF ten young per litter.
The best method Of control is to
make rat-proof buildings so the pests
cannot get inside and eat. All waste
food should be disposed of so the rats
cannot get it.
Where 1t is possible, poison should
be given them. and barium carbonate
is satisfactory killer. Traps should
also be kept going as In the past Bait
them with fresh meat. nuts or vege-
tables and they will get the rats.

Coal Mine Burning Since 1859.

There is a burning coal mine be-
tween Summit Hill and Coldale. Pa.
The fire started one morning i'm Feb
ruary, 1859 when miner entering
Slope No. of the Lehigh Coal X
Navigation company's mine stopped
TO warm his chilled fingers at a fire
burning in heap of rubbish. That
fire is still burning.
Engineers. generations of them,
have fought the fire and 1t breathed
it's sulphurous breath into their faces,
and went on devouring coal. The
stockholders of the Lehigh company
are willing to pay roundly for the
services of successful fireman, for
the company certainly does want that
fire put out.
Many schemes TO check the fire
have been tried. and the latest is
simplicity itself; that is, on paper.
Taking the fuel away from the fire by
means of tunnel which will cut
through the vein being consumed now
is planned. When the fire arrives at
the tunnel there will naturally be no
coal. and no coal. no fire. 1t appears
simple, but some OF the best engineer
ing talent in the world Is busy on that
tunnel. which is considered one of the
most gigantic undertakings of Its
kind.
