Be Careful What You
 Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampeos1 contain too much alkali which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp ana makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Muislfea cocoanut oil shampoo for this is pure and entirely greac;ess. It's very cheap and beats anything slse all te pieces. You can get this at any dfus store. and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lathef, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh locking, bright fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle. of dust, dirt and dandruff.

The simerine method is unusually DOB ular just now, according to the drug gists. This is largely due to the warm weather and because women are ROW spending so much of their time out of doors. This simple method not only pre- duees the loyeliest, natural looking eurls and waves, but it keeps the hair in curl no matter how hot or how moist the day, or how hard the wind blows
 All one need do is to wet clean tooth brush with liquid silmerine, draw this the hair will dry in inst the sweetest waves and criHkles. This will also keen the hair beautifully soft, silky and lus- trous. A few ounces of liquid silmerine will last far mnathA

FLYING SQUADRON" ARRIVES ON
 VOCATIONAL TRAINING CASES

Wearied from long day of work at
 Bridgeport Wednesday,, but expecting to
 be recuperated in time for beginning
 their work here this (Thursday1 morn
 ing, the flying |, ,9uadren" of the federal
 vocational training board arrived here
 Wednesday night
 With Joseph F. O'Kane. the district vocational advisor from Hartford they
 visited the town hall where they are to be at work for the last three days of this
 week and got acquainted with the facili- ties provided for them there. This
 morning at o'clock the members of the
 squadron will be at the town hall
 prepared to meet all the ex-seFyiee men who apply to have their vocational train ing cases adjusted. Their hours for work will be from g a. m. to 5 D. m. for the three remaining days of this week. Since the first of July the "squadron" has been at work in this state and has handled over 1000 cases in that time The men arriving Wednesday night were Major Joel Gresner, New York, dis triet medical adviser; Capt Thomas 1 Kirby. Washington, eligibility officer J. K. Alverson, c. D. Crane, John Derham, G. ". Webster, all of New York, veea- l tioaal advisors; E. K. Funkhauser and l HeRt: Ray s. Bugg. New York, place l ment department; J. Oswald Davis, Washington, eligibility assistant, and Mrs. M. A. Kesseil, New York in charge
 of clerical force. Others of the squad
 rom will arrive today.
 The vocational trainig which the gov ernmept is anxious to give to soldiers, sailors or marines who may have suf- fered disability through their war ser vices, is in no sense to be considered an act of charity, it was explained by one of the party Wednesday night. It is ra- ther the governments payment of debt 1 of gratitude to the men who suffered be- i cause of their war service. and is not entirely unselfish for it's ultimate effect uable citizens of men who might other
 wise always labor under handicap in I their future years of occupation. As for 1 instance, if a carpenter with two fingers shot off, making it impossible for him ever to be again 8 good carpenter, can i be given a little more training that will l fit him to be a supervising foreman in his trade, the man, the community the state and the nation have all been bene- fitted. The aim of the flying squad ron'' will be to study the mans aptitude
 and previous qualifications, matching them with his present condition so that the best combination may be reached to give him the right kind of aid
 Three fundamentals lie at the base of all claims for vocational training. Has the man an honorable discharge? Is there disability? Was it traceable to war service?
 When these are found the man is eligi- ble to federal vocational training.
