Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t
Use MuIsified
Use MuIsified

When you wash children's hair
be careful what you use. Many
soaps and prepared 4shampoos con-
tain too much free alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. 1t is
inexpensive and beats anything else
all to pieces.
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 lather, which cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is SOFT fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to manage. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
You can get Mulsified ,cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last for months.

lowing story: A sportsman
who had been shooting on a
Highland moor became lost in
a sudden mist. He tramped
about hopefully until there
was no more light and at last,
when he was beginning to be-
come really anxious, he heard
the sound of footsteps near at
hand. The sportsman shout
ed: Halo! Halo, there! I'm

voice out of the gloom: cay

WHAT GLANDS DO.

So much is being broadcast today regarding the effect Of glands on hu- man activities, that a word of advice and information may be of real inn port to those who are anxious to know tho facts regarding the latest sensat tional ''doings."
 Let it be clearly understood that the transplantation or stimulation Of glands is not for the purpose of re- Jnrenating old and decrepit men 10 youthful virility. This is only a de- fusion and snare. The work done by both European and American sur eeons, in this particular field of operations, has been for the purpose of stimulation, and to aid in building todtly iigor in persons who, through lack of the normal gland secretion, were unable 10 produce children, or whose bodily functions needed stim- nlaiion to produce u normal develop ment and a naturally healthy eondi- ton.
 When this is said. the end or the story is at hand. There is nothing miraculous or wonderful about il, ex- cept the skill and determining treat mcnt of the operating physician. In fact, the skilllul use Of the N-ray has played a more important part in this renNcnating process, than any trans- plantation or glands. monkey or oth- crwise, Also. the careful attention to diet and proper food has effected as much change as any other agencies.
 The main points is this. the world s greatest scientists and physicians are endeaporins 10 scgregate the in- tcrnai and external secrctions uf the glands. 1T this should provo a sne- cess. f will be possible 10 glvc treat monts 10 capab'" subjects and 10 build up men and women in points " here they arc weak and nnde. reloprd.

was pathetic; he confded to me thai his daughter must be crazy, and SC consistently asked me whether couldn't do something to stop it that became suspicious. Indeed, one evening. when I had dined there alone, he drank three or four glasses of port, looked upon me benesolently and remarked 'Ah, if only this hadn't happened. She might have married an Englishman."
 Tn other words. my position was unsatisfactory. was confronting the girl I loved, and who insisted upon being grateful; a man to whom I was doing a good turn, and who, was most ungateful: a father who was limiting to me that I should do something I wanted to do, but could not And still I dared do nothing. The wedding was fixed for six weeks hence; pleasurable excitement was stirring in the breast of only one player in the comedy.
 Perhaps. however, Lady Grace was not as happy as she ought to have been at such a season. She seemed preoccupied. Now and then found her eyes resting upon me with a pe- culiar expression. When We were alone she would occasionally heaye a sigh. Once she even remarked that it would have been better if had let her die in Grosvenor Squares
 But why?. I asked. Haven't you got your hearts dcsire?"
 T suppose so.' she replied.
 Nothing more was said. but our companionship grew more confident. This was assisted by the fact that Lady Grace played tennis and golf with ferocity, while Scarllati played
