 Out Car Window

Bonner Springs, Kan, Feb. 21.- If you want to know something about the power of imagination, conductor on certain Rock Island sleeper that runs through this city can give some valuable information. The incident that enabled him to get first-hand knowledge of how it works occurred on his train recently. Two Texas cattlemen were the principles.
 These knights of the plain are accustomed to sleeping in the open and they need lots of fresh air. Ac- cordingly, when they rolled into their berths they soon found the air so stifling that they could not sleep.
 One of the panhandle men tried to raise the window but it would not budge. He lay down in disgust, but tthe other cattleman smashed pane of glass with the heel of his shoe
 Thereafter both slept comfortably Next morning they discovered that it was the little mirror between two windows that had been broken

Use COc0anut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkili. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for 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 father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and re- moves every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluff fly and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. II is very cheap, and a few ounces ii enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv 5-25-1-15-2-24-4-1I

Warn Against the Use of All Wood
 Alcohol Liquids

Chicago, Feb. Warning of the danger of using internally or eXter- nally any preparation of which wood alcohol is part is made by the In- dustrial Research Laboratories of Chicago in a current bulletin.
 eve advocate the elimination or public sale of wood alcohol" says the bulletin" and the strict regulation in industries where it's use is desired.
 "Wood alcohol has been sold pro- niscuously in the past and the general rnblic has never learned just what the difference is between wood alco- hol, grain alcohol and denatured al- cohol.
 "Grain alschol." says the bulletin. ''is made from fermentable material, corn. wheat and starch by distillation.
 "Deratured alcohol is grain alcohol treated with some product which makes it impossible to use it for bev- craze purposes. The ordinary dena- tured alcohol sold today is denatured wood alcohol which is very poisonous and dangerous. @
 "Wood alcohol is made from wood waste which is placed into distilling apparatus and a process called dry dstillation is used which gives, in ad dition to the wood alcohol, several by products and charcoal
 Several preparations having wood alsohol in them have some to our laboratories for examination. It is possible that the manufacturers have been innocent of knowledge of the deadly effect of wood alcohol in pre- parations for internal and external skin or scalp is absorbed by the tis- use. Wood alcohol applied to the sues and has produced blindness, paralysis and insanity. The most dangerous preparations we have come in contact with are toilet articles used in barber shops. We warn our clients, that they may warn their friends against hidden dangers turk ing in the use of toilet articles that have been produced with denatured alcohol that has been denatured with the treacherous demon, wood alcohol"
 The bulletin also advises it's read CTS to permit no barber to administer any toilet preparation unless he guar antees that the alcohol used is pure grain alcohol, with no trace of the deadly wood alcohol.

He lives in one of his own houses with several of his sons; he is separated from his wife, and within these four walls he is gentle and kindly old man, dropping alto gether the roll of the strict disiplin. arian, which he is when on official duty, and dispensing charity with a liveral hand. He brushes aside crltl- cism and even ridicule. The newspa- pers sometimes caricature him in cos tumes of 40 or more years ago, which he sometimes wears. His sons resent this and have often threatened to "call out the authors" but the general who is credited with having fought many duels in his youth, has always replied, .leave them alone, public men must expect these things"
 General Weyler has number of sons. One is senator, another deputy and third recently joined the jesuits.
