How to Have Beautiful Hair

To be charming and attractive
you must have beautiful hair.
Beautiful hair, is not a. matter of
luck, it is simply a. matter of care.
You can have beautiful hair
if you shampoo it properly. Proper
sharnpooing is what brings out all
the real life and lustre, the natural
wave and color, and makes it soft,
fresh and luxuriant;
Your hair simply needs frequent
and regular washing to keep it
beautiful, but it cannot stand the
harsh effect of ordinary soap. The
free alkali, in ordinary soap, soon
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie and ruins it. ) This IS why mil
lions of women, everywhere, use
Mulsifed Cocoanut Oil Shampoo.
This clear, pure, and entirely
greaseless. product cannot possibly
injure, and. does not dry the scalp
or make the hair brittle, no matter
how often you use it,

|" HE darkness that encom-
passed Kestner was like a
covering cf. muffling black
velvet. It was a blanket
ing opaqueness that seemed to
shut off the very air from
his lungs. It seemed, some
thing more than a mere mega
tion of light, something tractile
and enfolding, a deepening inky
tide which threatened to solidify
and embalm him, struggling for
breath, In its Nubian depths. 1t
had merged into something
tangible and threatening. some
thing active and assailing, seem
ing to cannonade the harried sen.
tries Of his nervous system with
Its thunderous voIleys Of ilnrna-
terialities.
The silence too was more than
oppressive. 1t had become en-
ervating, ekhausting. It lay
about him no longer q silence Of
rhythms, Of periodic clinaxes and
reiapses. 1t was now a dull
monotone, 4 Dead Sea of unin-
terrupted hush, a cessation Of
movement ana life 30 complete
that 1t seemed universal, some
thing incredibly diffused and pro-
longed, a elimination of stiffness
that assaulted the nerves even as
the continued top-most note Of a
steam calliope might.
Yet somewhere under the
arched iron roof of that huge
wharf-shed, cathedral-like in its
trick of echoing and re-echoing
with the slightest movement,
waited the enemy she had followed
20 far and hunted so long. Some
where within the walls of that
waterfront warehouse, perhaps
not ten spaces from him, waited
the leader and the last active
member Of the Lambert gang.
Just where that enemy waited
Kestner could not tell. And in
that absence of knowledge lay
the core of the Secret Agents

suspense. They were there, to-
gether, in that midnight build
ing. That was all he could be
sure Of. They. were pitted in that
abysmal blackness. as men pit
9ane-cocls to fight out, their
fight to finish.
Fate had indeed pitted
them there, but Fate had
not ordained that they should
fight. For something had made
Lambert suspicious. He had grown
as silent as a hunted animal as
sured Of the adequacy Of its shell
ter. He had converted that in
terminable night into duel o.
gilehces. He had suddenly lapsed
into utter stillness-and for a
stiffness 50 heroically maintained,
Kestner knew, there must indeed
be an ample reason. 1t was an
unending Waterloo OF waiting,
and 1t had not been engineered
without cause.
Once. as Kestner thought this
over. the chill of the night air
brought a tickle to his nostr!ls,
and he had to put a finger over
his upper lips, pressing it tight
against his teeth. to stop the
sneeze which threatened to shake
his body and fling an explosion OF
sound across the darkness.
This brought a fresh terror to

FRENCH BIRTH RATE SHOWS STEADY
DECREASE: LEADERS ARE BLAMED

Paris, Jan. 16.-The high cost of
living, lack of apartments and homes
for newly married couples, selfish
ness, too many women employed in
industry, and too much pleasure, are
the general causes assigned for the
alarming decrease Of the birth rate
in France, now the lowest in Europe.
This is condition that has been
accentuated by the war, which took
many men to the front, whence many
never returned. The war also created
new conditions of living for women,
gave them work, made them inde-
pendent, and disinclined to marry
readily, and less inclined to have
children.
This situation is set forth at length
by the National Alliance for Increas-
ing French population.
In comparison with q hundred
years ago. each French smarriage
brings less than two childsen, in-
stead Of four children. whereas
England's marriages bring nearly
three children instead Of nearly five
hundred years ago. In Germany in
lSl1, the average marriage brought
