Cocosnut Oil Makes
A Splen did Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain toa much free alliali! This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless),. is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing as this cannot
possibly injure the hair
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuIs of Mulsified in a cup or glass
with little warm water, then
moisten, your hair with water and
rub the Nlulsified in. 1t will make
an abundance of rich. creamy lather,
and cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excess Oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces will last
everyone in the family for months.
Be sure your druggist gives you Null

cd. Compared with the population OF
Portland the cities Of Bangor ana
Lewiston are in about the same situa-
ton and other cities and towns prob
ably are In a similar position. 1t 10
very plain that whatever property 10
made tax exempt. the tax burdens OF
the property that Is not so favored Is
proportionate1y Increased.
call to your attention the fact that
according to careful Estimates live
stock to the value Of $3,000,000 Is ex-
cmpted from taxation; the exempted
property of soldiers and sailors repre-
sents an equal amount. and DO on
| through alist of 40 or more items. The
State valuation il $672,787,742 ana at
a. conservative estimate $50O,000,000 of
property Is exempted by law under
Chapter 10. Section 6, Of our Revised
Statutes.
These exemptions need revision and
soma underlying principle should be
discovered. on which tax exemption
should rest. It may be that some ex-
emptiors should be done away with al
together. Perhaps some limit should
be placed Upon the amount Of property
exempted In certain Of the classes re-
fefred to. A regrouping also may be
desirable. This matter should be look
ed into by broad minded men. unin-
! fiuenced by political ambitions OF
selfish motives.
/ i have thought Of advocating the ap-
pointmeAt OF a recess committee of the
Legislature, as has been suggested by
the legislative committee to which you
referred the report of the board Of
state assessors. My experience. how
ever, with the work Of such committees
Is not altogether encouraging. for al
. though in the past they have devoted
! q great deal of time to the study of
| the subjects placed in their charge,
| Legislatures seldom have adopted any
of their suggestions. Nor do advo-
cate the appointment of q permanent
/ board or commission.
The statistics required must be col
locted from>520 cities and towns. and
as these will need to be tabulated and
audited, l am of the opinion that the
chairman OF the board Of state asses
/ sors and the State auditor should form
the nucleus of whatever committee is
create to undertake this work. In ad-
dition to these State officials. who
would serve ex-Qfficio. l believe it
would be desirable for the Governor to
appoint not more than three citizens of
the State, thoroughly qualified for the
work. who would undertake it as a
public duty. without receiving compen-
cation for their services.
If such a committee is formed 1 be-
lieve that the next Legislature will
have before it the Information it needs
to form a definite policy in regard to
| the future of our tax exemption laws.
! A reasonable sum should be appro-
priatcd to cover the expenses of the
board. / bring this to your attention
and ask your serious consideration, for
the time has arrived when this tax
exemption problem should be studied
| with great care.
Respectfully submitted.

Of me, won't he?"

He lifted Basilo to My Mans back.
When he turned to Mercedes, she
was looking away. She knew the
sacrifice he made in parting with

silio tell Terese that the Senior
would stay for supper. When they
were alone, Mercedes searched the
/ eyes of the man who sat beside her.
What a lot he had dared for her!
Didn't he know that she loved him?
/ Why didn't he speak?
Mercedes failed to realize that her
very nearness rendered Blaze al
most speechless.

last, and right along I've been tell
/ ing myself I'd mighty well pleased
! to get home if Mooney went back,
too. Did you ever get mistaken
about yourself like that?"
Mercedes did not answer lest her
voice should betray her.
"I'm awfully blue" Blaze went
on In spite of all the trouble and
the fighting, I've been happier here
than ever before in my life. I've
been trailing Mooney for two years.
I've kept my word with the Kid.

"Tn be very good to him." she
whispered in hushed tones. I'll

up. 'You will becoming back, en-,

seemed so well poised, so at ease,
that his own confusion was only
magnitied by comparison. His ha-
bitual and often tested c0mposure
had deserted him in his hour Of
need. Blaze was truly miserable,
and in an evident attempt to stem
his own feelings, he resorted to the
bantering tone that had served nm
so well in his man-world.

Once before. in that very patio,
they had looked into each others
eyes as they did now. Blaze saw
there what he should have seen long
ago.

was smothered in Mercedes hair. He
caught her up his arms and held
her to him. There was color in her

unforgetable day on the river. She
was speaking, and even her voice
was reminiscent of that afternoon.

say, with a defiant little toss of her
head, Mercedes will have those
three, four black-haired kids any
how, huh?"
Minutes passed as they sat there
without speaking The shadows be-
gan their evening tryst. Peace and
happiness settled down upon the pa
ito.
In room above, some one lighted
a lamp. It's mellow glow reached the
man and girl on the steps. His arm
held her closer for second and
then relaxed. Mercedes laughed
LOUDLY. From it's accustomed place
she caught up her guitar and
crooned plaintiye little Spanish
Iove-song in a voice for Blaze's ears
alone:
If the stars in the sky far above you
Have brought you, beloved, to me,
If, in their wisdom, they've chosen
you,
How then, can I help loving thee?
How then, can I help loving thee?
'La-la-la-la-la-la-la" throbbed the
guitar. Blaze closed his eyes. This
was the end of the trail! Life be-
gan anew here.
Atear stole down Mercedes
cheek. Happiness had overwhelmed
her. The morrow no longer threaten
cd. She was ready for the dawn.
THE END
