Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very careful
ly, II you want to keep your hair
looking its best Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of
Mulsified in cup or glass with a
little warm water is sufficient to
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, 1t makes an
abundance of rich creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member Of the family
for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-(Advertise-

ALABAMA FARMERS.
 ARE NOW B UY N |. M O R E FERTILIZER.
Weather Has Been Ideal For Farm Work During Past Week, Statement of
 Glst Says

Montgomery, April 16,-(Special.)- Farmers of Alabama have purchased eS per cent more fertilizer up to this time this year than they had purchased up to the same time last year, according to the weekly sum- mary of farming conditions issued Saturday by F. W. Gist, state and federal crop statistician. MT. Gist said this did not mean that the acre. age in cotton would be greater but did mean that where much land was cultivated without fertilization last year, the farmers are bending every energy this year to increase their production.
 Weather has been ideal for farm work during the week, the statement continued. and farmers have taken advantage of it to advance the pre- paration for and planting of crops. Corn has been planted in the Ten nessee valley and in the south part of the state some farmers have prac- tically completed their plantings. Cotton Is up In the south end of the state and preparation for its planting has gone forward with a rush in the north end
 r Prices of farm products gre holding their upward trend, and scarcity Of some commodities on the farm is becoming more pronounced,' MT. Gist said.
 The shipments of peanuts out of the southeastern section of the belt to date for shelled goods are about three and a half million pounds in excess of the preceding year, while nearly three times as much crude peanut oil has gone out against the former years shipments.
 Cabbage shipments from Alabama have totaled 397 cars to date com pared with 220 last year.
 Only about one-half the straw berries have been shipped from Ala bama that moved to date last year. The same being true of Louisiana, 1t Is thought that the absence of sun shine earlier In the season had much to do with this situation.
 Five hundred and twenty-sevon cars of sweet potatoes have moved from Alabama points during the pres ent season, July Is last to date. com pared with 43s the season before.

 Well. will try. What time are we going to leave in the morning?"
 Whenever you are ready"

 I suppressed an exclamation and managed to say calmly:
 All right. We will get up early and drive directly to his church. Is John Storm going back to Riverside tonight?"
 He has already gone. He went by train. But what happened to you, my dear, today? I have been so full of my own troubles that have hard ly thought about you. You will for give me, won't you"
 There is nothing to forgive. I guess the day went along as usual" I felt my voice grow flat and toneless as | spoke.
 You are not telling me all." Kitty responded quickly. recognizing un- spoken words in the tone of my voice. But, sympathetic as she was, I could not tell her that Theodore Stratton had told me he loved me and then, because he had found that Maud San son was growing jealous. he had be- come cold and almost stranger all within the six hours we had been working.
 The next day broke radiantly in a perfect burst of color all over the sky. I had not slept well. and I was sure that Kitty suffered likewise.

 I looked at Kitty and decided that she, too, had lean and hungry look. I'm hungry. Kitty. I didn't have any dinner last night"
 Neither did I, Virgie. There are plenty of eggs, strawberries and real cream. We'll have a regular feast Get into your tub quickly"
 After a cold bath I could not feel unhappy. Again I felt how depend ent ones mind, one's heart and ones spirit--the things one calls ones soul lis upon the material body. And I
