Cocoanut Oil Fine
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 hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsifed cocoanut oil sham
poo (which is pure and entirely grease
lessl. s much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it In. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lsther, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
tine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. Ii IS
very cheap. and few ounces Is enough to
ast everyone 10 the family for months.

The first witness was State detec-

as the Thunder jug which is now
on Granite Hill. on the outskirts Of
the city. suitably mounted and placed
as a memorial n some appropriate
spot IN the CITY.
Nearly twenty years ago the gun
was taken 20 Granite Hill, and for
some time was mounted and kept up
by loyal friends. but now II lies dis
cartied on the hilltop. II IS a relic OF
the fight between the Enterprise and
the Boxer
In the wear 1889 the late Capt. John
Beeman bore the chief share Of he
cost of sechring the cannon. so thar
for a number OF years It was known
as the "Beeman gun On each Fourth
Of July for many years the cannon
was used for firing sa!utes. Other
towns in Maine had begged the loan
of II for celebrations. and the cannon
has been honored as mascot
wherever il appeared.
When the cannon was first brought
to EaIlowell il was on nautical gun
carriage. but later was mounted as a
regular artillery piece.
After the original owners had
passed away or become TOO feeble 70

Of the younger element. who took de-

Fourth of July from the place where
II was kept hidden. COR the purpose

independence Day sometimes there
were lively tussles between the boys
for the possession of the cannon.
The last battle was fought eight
aen years ago, when The boys Of
Granite Hill took il from the boys of
downtown and there the gun has
since remained. II viii probably be

on the lawn adjoining clty hall. 8
When President Polk came to Au-
