 Putnam citizens Wednesday refused to appropriate a sum not to exceed se.5o0 with which to purchase motor driven hook and ladder truck to replace the obsolete apparatus which now stands useless for lack of horses <to drawt it. The total vote on the proposition totaled 44s, of which PAS ballots cast were No and 22o., Yes. The result: was not en- tirely unexpected as there was consider able opposition. to the purchase by form CT members of the department. who were forced to resign. at the beginning of this year, and their synpathizers. There were others who felt that the sum asked was too large and that the existing con- ditions can be remedied at much less cost to the taxpayers. Just what the next step will be is not known. The city council has investigated the matter with thoroughness and it was acting upon a report from the fire committee that the special city meeting was called on "Wednesday T The cond . ons that the committee hoped to remedy by the pur- chase of the new. truck, had the citizens seen fit to appropriate, the money, still remains The old hook and ladder stands in the barn at Union square, and no horses are available to haul it to fires. Because of this fact one house the Congregational church parsonage. was partially destroyed while the fire men waited for. ladders to be brought by volunteers. At the Chckering hotel
 fire the truck was pulled few hun dred feet by hand, and ladders obtained in that way. What would happen should there be a bad fire at any distance from the fire barn at which ladders were needed no one can say Not desiring to have the responsibilities for any loss es from fires of this nature upon their shoulders. the council voted to ask the citizens to appropriate the money to remedy the situation. The citizens have voted the appropriation down, Now everyone is wondering what the next move will be and who will make it.

Hair Often Ruined
 By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much, alkah. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy, lather, which rinses out cas- fly, removing every particle. of dust. dirt, -dandruff and excessive oil. Tie hair dries quickly, and. evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. ..n
 f9u. can get Mulsified cocoanut O., shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will <supply every member of the family for months.
