Narrow Escape
From Death

Eugene Haskell had q narraw es-
cape last Friday from what might
easily have been fatal accident.
He Is engaged in hauling stone. with
q team belonging TO Frank keene,
for the construction of the state road
between Skowhegan and NOrridgc-
wock The stone is loaded on tho
back side of Burrill hill and the
sleds are obliged to come down n
very steep grade which at this time
is covered with ice. Mr.. Haskell had
loaod of eight ton Of rocks. Chains
are used on the runners Of the sleds
as they come down the hill. 10 pre-
vent them from going too fast. For
some reason, the chains on this load
failed to stop, and the team began
the descent and. gathered speed as It
went Mr.. Haskell knew that his
only safety lay in maintaining this
speed and keeping the horses on
their feet. Part way down the hill
the sled struck a rough place in
the road which slowed 1t down so
suddenly that the pole was snapped
into three pieces. He swung the
horses to one side to get them out
of the way of the load and they were
thrown TO the ground and dragged
considerable distance before the sled
struck another rough place and
stopped. Mr.. Haskell was thrown
ten feet out OF the road into "a
snow drift. and fortunately escaped
serious injury.
When he returned to his team ana
extricated the horses from the
tangle of harness, he found that
aside from few scratches ami
small cuts they also had escaped in
jury. But ii seems little short OF
miraculous that both driver and
horses escaped with their lives

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what YOU
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which Is
pure and entirely greaseless); is
much better than anything else YOU
can use for shampooing, as this can
not possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair viii, wa
ter and rub it in. Two or three tea
spoonsfuls will make an abundance
of rich. creamy lather. and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and re-,
moves every. particle of dust, dirt.
dandruff and excess Gil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy.
'wayy, and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. It is in
