Careless Shampooing
SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls OF Null
sifed in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply 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 excess OIL
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, luslrous,
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 Tor
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsided.-Adv.

New Chair Factory
for Burnham-
Other Industries

Burnham, Me-, Aug. 31.-(SpeciaD
The foundation sills for the new
chair factory Of the Maine Chair Co.
were laid Tuesday. The laying Of the
corner stone was done in the forenoon
and 1t was accomplished with a cere-
mony fitting to the occasion.
The corner stone for the foundation
of the new factory was laid by Rufus
b. Gilmore of Burnham in the presence
of large number Of interested citi-
zens. In performing the work, Mr..
Gilmore said:
Ladies' and gentlemen. now lay the
corner stone of The Burnham Chair
Factory, and may we all live to sit in
one of the chairs that shall be made
under this roof, and may it be a grand
success to the men who have started
it and help in the prosperity Of the
town.
He placed underneath. the stone sew
eral documents and his own picture
taken nearly so years ago.
Mr. Gilmore will be 81 years Of age
in October and previous to his retire.
he had much to do with the active af-
fairs of the town and it seemed fitting
that he should lay the corner stone for
the building Of a new enterprise.
With the coming Of mandatory it
is interesting to note the changes tn t
have taken place in the industries OF
the town. There was a tannery and
many hands. but both shut down work
, more than 40 years ago.
Burnham was the home for many
years of Dyer's Pills, which did a
f1ourishing business. and some of the
products may still be found on the
market. A clothing shop. in which
| were made a large variety of garments
gave employment to many not very
long ago. At enc time there were two
saw mills and grist mill, but at the
present time there is only one mill for
saving. There is a splendid water
power on the 25-mile stream on which
the saw mill is located. This year has
| seen the completion of the splendid
| new bridge over the 25-mile stream.
the building of new two-room school
building and the erection of chair
factory and some changes in real es-
state.
The main building of the chair fac
tory. which is under construction, will
be a two-story building 120x4O. 1t is
proposed to employ about 35 men and
women to start and more buildings
| will be added from time to time.

W0MAN'S ILLS MAKE UNHAPPY

There T. no question but what the
Ills Of women conspire against do
mestic harmony. The husband can
not understand these troubles and the
physician finds it hard to cure them:
therefore the overworked wife and
mother continues to drag around day
IN and day out with headaches and
backache, fretful and nervous.
Such women should be guided by
the experience OF women whose let
ters We are continually publishing in

that they have been restored to
health, strength and consequent hap
piness by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound after doctors and
all other medicines had failed to help
