Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With

Many soaps and prepared shampoos l contain too much free alkali which i, very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mnlsitied coeoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It is inexpen- sl'e and beats any thing else to pieces. fou can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Two or three teaspoonfuls is all that IS required. Simply moisten the hair With water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy latfer. cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresh looking. bright. fluffy, wavy, and easy to man. age. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dan. druff.

 concluded New Britains scoring eff l forts when he tossed long one foi
 two points. This shet was easily the l best shot of the game and the snapp, ilttla forward of the local team was

 game came to a close as Rohrbach s"lshed the netting for two additional points. The final score was Passaic 20. New Britain 13.
 Among the bright spots of the game Was tho playing of Belser for the Red and Gold. This forward besides scor- ing six points for New Britain had the unusual honor of Keeping his man scQreicss, and his man was Captain Blltzer of the Passaic quintet. who fas not been held scoreless in any game since the team started on its victor lohs march which reached IA con- secutive victories with the victory over New Britain Saturday night.
 Another feature of the game was In the third quarter when the local quintet held Passaic scorelcss from the floor during the entire quarter. rms IS a feat that has not been eqnaled by any other team playing iassaic in the Passaic gymnasium.
 Passaic's total of 25 points is the lowest score to which Passaic has been held since the team has earned the title of the wonder basketball team or the mosquito state.
