Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the tair brittle, and is very
harmful, Mulsihed cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which IS pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything else
YOU can use Tor shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The latller 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 set Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap, and 4 few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for months.

Journal Feb. 10th

At the automobile show just closed
IN Chicago all records were broken
as to cars sold. The Chicago exhibit
has always been known as a selling
show, but this years record exceeded
any previous efforts 50 greatly that
auto dealers are fearful that when
their selling season opens they will
be unable to supply demands. The
last week Of the show sales totalin1
over S450000 were recorded
AS an indication of what the dealer
can expect this is most encourauinu
proof that people are not postponing
the ordering Of the cars that will not
be used largely for a good army
weeks. The height of the selling
season is not usually reached until
the end Ct March. The tendency this
year, however. is for the forehanded
man to put in his order early. even
with the motor car output as greatly
increased as it is. The demand is
going to continue the same as il did
during the show, and chances are
that it will far outstrip the output for
many months to come. The far
reaching results of the show will
cause many d man to order his car
now. II he counts upon gettinq his
car for the maximum Of driving this
season, Ottawa dealers say that
selling is far ahead CT any previous
season, and all seem of the same
opinion as to the necessity Of placing
orders carly this year.

Life in China as
Seen By Mrs. J. w. Cole

American fashion as far as possible These
furnishings appeal to the Chinese women
especially as luxlries beyond the wealth
of dreams. They crave similar adorn-
mentS for their homes, often begging for q
bit of glass to use as window pane instead
OF bamboo paper, and attempting TO fol-
low the habits of the missionaries IN
many respects.
The Chinese women are very suseep-
tible TO the eluding influences of their
white friends.
Ii is the women of high-caste in south
ern China who refuse TO do away alto
gether with such customs as binding of
the feet, just as in Indi !, the Purdah is still
practised by high-caste women. One
Chinese mother told Mrs. Cole that she
had thrown alive into the river 10 be
drowned, her FIVE girl babies, and in
many instances, the evangelist states,
dead bodies of girl infants are seen thrown
out into the streets.
In Mrs. Coles opinion the large num-
ber Of Chinese students who are coming to
American colleges will gradually overcome
the superstitiOns of ancient China. On the
vessel which brought Mrs. Cole to Ameri-
ca were 100 students, one of them a
charming little Chinese woman who will
study To be physician in Philadelphia.

THE SMART WINTER GIRL.

Times have changed since a wear
ago, when il was considered the smart
thing TO wear high-heeled shoes on the
street, with cobweb stockings. Preferably
OF silk. The recent snow storm brought
out the fact that il is now the smart
thing in cold weather TO wear wooden
stockings, fine as silk, for that matter
and no less expensive, but much more
sensible. The girl who PLAYS golf long ago
learned that wooden stockings were the
proper footwear for the links, but she
has now gone a step farther, and the sport
stocking Is now the stocking of the street
IN cold weather.
When she goes out IN the evening she
wears pretty wooden or cloth boots, with
fur tops, over her evening slippers and
silk stockings Many Of the girls who
learned to knit so well IN war time have
begun 10 knit their own WOODEN stock
Ings, for golf next summer and for cold
weather wear There does not seem To be
any tendency as vet TO go back TO the
flannel petticOat, but who knows what
may happen in another year? At any rate,
the blue-nosed girl is out Of style. for every
one knows that cold feet make blue noses.

THE SCARE-CROW.

A searecrow stood in a field one day,
Stuffed with straw,
Stuffed with hay.
He watched the folk on the kings highway,
But never a word said he.
Much he saw, but naught did heed,
knowing not night,
Knowing not day;
For, having nanght, did nothing need,
And never a word said he.
A little gray mouse had made its nest,
Oh, so wee,
Oh, so gray,
In the sleeve OF a coat that was poor
Toms best,
But the scarecrow naught said he.
His hat was the home of asmall jenny wren
Ever so sweet,
Ever so gay;
A squirrel had put by his fear Of men
And kissed him, but naught needed he.
Ragged old man, / love him well,
Stuffed with straw,
Stuffed with hay,
Manyis the tale that he could tell
But never a word says he.

THE JAZZING SCIENTIST.

Like all big cities, London has its
crazes. Just now the social craze of the
moment is a pleasant and most expensive
resort known as Ciros club, which, dur
ing the first year of the war had the
distinction" OF being raided by the
police chiefly on account of little Jug
Cling with the wine and spirit laws. Then
the spacious building in which Ciro's club
had been housed was taken over by the
y. NJ G. A., and became tle most aristo-
cratic and luxurious war canteen and
recreation ground for soldiers in London
But when peace came Ciros was once
more snapped up by fashionable COM
pany of promoters, and, all being for
gotten and forgiven, as far as its past
offenses were concerned, it was reopened
under most brilliant auspices few months
ago, and now rules the roost as the most
brilliant and extravagant lunching, dining
and dancing club in the metropolitan area
All this in spite of the fact that, like
Cinderella, it has TO stop being joyous on
the stroke of midnight.

THE DEBUTANTE'S GOWN.

Women who are thick waistod and
have-breathe it not-too great develop
ment of the great omentun, are now In
"stylo," it seems, as it is only necessary
to look fat and 40 TO be considered so.
No longer must ono worry about corsets
that viii reduce the hips and the stomach,
for fashion has decreed that the thicker
one is the better, and has gone to the
trouble TO invent ruifies and fl0umees to
be worn about the waist to produce this
effect. OF course, one must be sylph-llko
above The waist, and unfortunately those
who are thick-waisted are generally any
thing else than sylph-lke any place.
One of the pretty gowns of the week
is u robins egg blue, with four grad
uated ruffles Just below the waist at
poked effect OF the skirt below it. 1t

little or no back, and straps over the
shoulders, and is the very quntcssence

these two shades OF color quite great
deal this summer, and even at her COM
ing-out parties she sometimes wears
eolors 1t used to be considered the proper
thing for the debutante TO wear tulle or
some light flimsy material over soft white
silk. As general thing, the tuile part of
the dress could be worn but once, 1t will
bo remembered that Consuala. Duchess
of Marlborough, when a girl IN New York,
wore new dress ofRne tulle every night.
and never had silk or satin gown until
after she was married. Girls OF her day
dressed much more simply than they do in
this year, 1920, but it did net cost any
less, ono may be sure.

An interesting VISITOR in BeIlcfonte Is
Mrs. J. w. Cole, who Is with her niece,
Mrs Ralph Dinsmore, for some time, until
returning To China, where she has lived
for a number of years and performed a
work so difficult IN many Of Its phrases
that she might be termed heroine OF
