Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaH, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely. greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply rnoisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an

where he was associated with Bishop
Brent of the Episcopal church, Father
Duffy of the Catholic church and a jew
ish Rabbi in control of all the chaplans
of the overseas force He stated that in
his opinion the soldiers who received the
ministrations of these various religion
lists could never return to the old days of
sectarian feelings. They would insist
upon looking at religious things through
the eyes of the other man.
He made four statements concerning
unity: l. Unity is not something to be
attained Christ united men in the be-
ginning. 1t is to be realized not at
tanned. 2. We must distinguish be-
tween unity and uniformity. ,. There
must be better understanding of each
other by clergy and laity. 4. There
must be better understanding of the
vastness of the field. Mr.. Moody illus
trated his very interesting address with
personal observations and experiences of
the world war.
Rev Cornelius H. Patton, d. d., of
Boston, home secretary of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions, was the last speaker, and he gave
a thrilling and optimistic picture of con
ditions in the Far East as he saw them
in recent visit to those countries. He
dwelt especially on conditions in Japan
and China which he said were wide open
to the gospel message. The days have
gone when the missionary must seek for
an opening to preach the gospel to those
people. Everywhere the people are for
saking their idols and idol worship
They recognize the fact that it is Chris
tianity that has made America what it
is, and they are going to adopt it as a
means of national salvation.
There are four great tidal currents,
all of which are sweeping the nations on
toward Christianity. These are: /. The
great tide of patriotism. ,. The tide of
philanthropy. 3. Intellectualism They
are coming to see that there is nothing
in idolatry. And, 4, Religious life of
the People. DIR. Patton declared that
the Chinese are in religious receptiyity
and naturalsm nearer the Christian
ideal than the people of India. They
really worship the God of heaven. He
related a remarkable story of a night
visit to town in China which had never
heard of Christianity and having the
privilege of preaching to the people for
the first time the good news. An inter
csting story was that of a Boston bust
ness man who had taken a whole PROV
ince in China to evangelize, paying
$4,000 for 10 years to assume the entire
support of the missionaries there. The
province contained 100000 people who
had never had the gospel At the end
of four years there were 1920 Christians,
with 70 churches, having Il pastors, the
results of one mans consecrated money.
