Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
zoos contain too much free alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle and is very harmful.
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing.
AZ this cannot possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. Two or three
tcaspoonfuls will make an abun-
uance 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 it leaves it fine and
silky, bright fluffy, wavy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. 1t
is inexpensive, and a few ounces

Encouraging Words and Some
REGIMES

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
] nave read with interest your re-
cent article in the Tri-Weekly
Journal, regarding home remedies. l
am writing to mention a few such
remedies which perhaps you may not
be acquainted with.
Every COW should be fitted for
calving. Two weeks before they are
to freshen take away all strong feed,
especially every form Of cotton prod
ucts. During these two weeks give
the cow two pounds Of EPSON salts,
in broken dose. Begin by putting
just a little in some ground feed,
When she gets used to the taste
she will eat it readily. This treat
ment takes the fever out of the sys-
tenn, and there will be no after
troubles. In a great measure this
treatment prevents milk fever.
The first coal oil l ever saw was
brought OH III bottles, and was for
medical purposes. That was 70 years
ago. And to this good day l know
of no other remedy that can com
pare with coal oil where liniment
is needed. For garget battle the bag
with hot water, us hot as can be
borne. with plenty of coal oil in it
Coal oil prevents blood poison, il
it is used plentifully on the fresh
wound. And for collie in animals
give a half teacup Of coal oil in a
drench 1 will mention one other
remedy for general purposes, which
is black walnut leaves made into a
tea. Uses leaves or bark.

couldn't bear to be separated from
me. | have never had a girl friend
because my mother was so afraid
would care more for some girl than
I did for her that she separated me
as much as possible from other
girls.
Now T am 81, and she keeps all
men way from me as effectualiy
as if | were shut up in harem. No
young man is ever encouraged to
come to see me or made welcome at
the house, and if one shows me any
attention elsewhere mothCr attaches
herself to my other side, and stays
until she drives the youth away.
Mother says that the idea of my
marrying just breaks her heart, and
she will never give me up, but ! am
fed up on mother love and want
rome other kind for a change. What
can l do? DAUGHTER.
Answer: Your only salvation is to
free yourself crom the tender arms
that are choking you to death. And
that is the hardest thing in the
world to do. We can fight those
who are our enemies and give back
blow for blow to those who nate us
and despitefully use us, but it takes
superhuman courage to break away
from the clinging hands of those
who love us. Yete often love is cru
eler than hate and those who would
die for us Stay us.
We glorify mother love, but often
it is a selfish passion that puts the
qualification of itself above the good
of the child.
There are plenty of other cases
like yours, Daughter, in which
mother denies child all association
with companions of its own age in
order that she may mOnopolize its
society.
All of us know mothers who have
kept their children from marrying.

Of us know mothers who insist on
