speaking to him from on high. yet
present In his soul, ms though there
were no other In the world save God
and himself.--San Pedro de Alcantara

London.-The young shah of Persia
who recently left his capital, Teheran,
for another trip to Europe, is said to
hold a high opinion of himself as Il

As the story is told by London

called on the shah ut the request OF
English admirers of the great Persian
poet and asked that better care be
taken of his grave at Nishapur where,
as Omar predicted, 1.-THE north wind

But the shah could not be impressed
with this need Persia, he declared,

Bad For Washing Hair

injurious, As it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle. -8E
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 Malsified at any drug
store. and a few ounce will last the
whole family for months.
Two or three ~teaspoonfuls of Mulsi-
fed in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly and
