She Says

Isn't our Augusta Post Office a
noble looking edifice? Aren't the
grounds we'll kept and a proper set
ting for this splendid building? And
no doubt, visitors in this city admire
the building. But have you noticed
that eye sore, that blemsh upon a
fair scene. just across the way from
the Post Office? That place is the
main street side of the Opera House
where countless doves have made
their homes. OF all the filthy, dis
gusting sights, the front Of the Opera
House takes the cake. Words aren't
expressive enough to paint the pic
ture here and besides folks do not
like to read about it.
The sight of the Opera House dirt
recalls to mind that dump which was
so plainly in view from the foot of
Court street. Now the trees have
leaved out and have hidden from
view that unsightly spot. The hills
and dales, on miniature scale, on the
west side Of the Augusta station, aid
in making this station one of the
States most attractive. When the
trees were bare the dump, off Court
street, was in plain sight and an eye
sore, that nlarned the beauty Of the
scene. But the remedy has been ma
lures own. for the summer at least.
The best remedy for the Opera
House would be good thorough
cleaning and also adequate means of
sending the doves elsewhere.

Coeoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
p~oing. as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoonfuls
OF Mulsiied in a cup or glass with a
little warm water, then moisten the
hair with water and rub it in. 1t will
make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanse the hair and SCALP
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fiufy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
Be sure your druggist gives you Null

All along it has been apparent that
the British business interests and
British labor were deeply interested
to have Germany once more a going
concern" with trade established and
conditions at least approaching nor
NAL restored. So deeply are they in
terested, so convinced that England's S
prosperity depends on this, that they
are prepared on certain terms to can
eel the debt of France to England
amounting TO around two cnd half
billion dollars. One of the conditions
is that the German indemnity now
fixed at 1872 billion gold francs shall
be reduced to fifty billion gold francs.
This proposition is weakening the op-
position Of France and promises some
outcome favorable to all parties con-
cerned. The events of the past few
months demonstrate pretty clearly
that Germany is virtually bankrupt
il pushed. also is likely to be driv-
en- into the arms of the reactionary
and junker elements, all Of which is
undesirable. Moreover some such

CLOSED DOORS

English women are showing as ac-
tive an interest as American women
in the performance Of public duty.
There Is room for qualified women
even In the House Of Commons. but
the doors Of the House OF Lords still
remain closed except to lords.
English women Of ability have al
ready established places for them
selves in the professions as physi-
clans. college professors, ministers Of
non -conformist churches and as So

thorities state that there Is nothing

MORE THUGGERY

Are the strike officials losing con-
troll Of the strikers or are they wink
ing the other eye when they say there
must be no violence?
With plenty of booze and a
show OF resistance on the part of the
men trying TO earn their living by
working in the railroad shops, at
work and prices which other men re-
fused, Concord. y. H., would have
been another Herrin.
Those acquainted with that staid
town Of Concord. the capital of the
old Granite State. which is so fond OF
law and order that 1t does not per-
NIT sunday golf, will find it difficult
to associate thuggery with its citi-
gems. That they were citizens. though
masked and armed. is generally be-
lieved: that they knew all about "the
lay Of the land was evident and
lea ds TO the conclusion that they were
strikers. men who had been earning
good pay. probably supporting fami-
lies and very likely own homes in
that city. What they did was no bet
ter than would have been the act of
band of masked men breaking into.
their homes. beating them up and
throwing them out.
VIII the leaders of the unions so
characterize this thuggery? VIII
they call on the Governor of New
HAMPSHIRE to maintain law and order
at whatever cost? And if so, will
they honestly endeavor to ascertain
who those seven armed, masked
criminals were who entered the rail-
road dormitorles and attacked the
sleeping workers Tuesday night?
