Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham-
I poos contain too much alkali, which
| is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
, and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
, cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces,
j You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
: Simply moisten the hair with water
, and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
| all that is required. It makes an
I abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
i easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
| bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
j handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
I out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

ANOTHER NATION IS
DRAWN INTO CONFLICT
[Continued From First Page]
bank of the river, against the ad-:
vice of ills generals, who insisted that
they could be better employed on the i
other bank. Now that the Germans
have begun the flank attack, the
French critics say, it is too late by ten
days. I
Artillerymen on both sides are liv
ing up to the reputation already es
tablished for t,lre battle of Verdun
as the greatest artillery duel of the
war. Many sectors of the French
i front on Sunday and Monday last re
ceived an average of 100,000 shells in
|l2 hours. Whole woods were reduced
jto kindling material. The little river
J at Forges disappeared altogether, hav
ing been dammed in half a dozen
places and thirty feet of the crest of j
Hill 213 near Forges was blown away. !
The first attack on Bethincourt i
made on Tuesday was preceded by j
six hours' terrific bombardment. Then \
the infantry came on from three sides I
j along the road from Gercourt to eßth- I
I incourt, from Forges village and from !
(the slopes of Hill 265 French ofll- j
i ccrs estimate that the attacking forces
I were not fewer than 20,000. Fifteen !
different battalions were identified.'
All day long the Germans fought to
gain a footing in tlie important vil
lage of Bethincourt, which lies in a
hollow commanded by both sides.
When night fell the last attacking
column was thrown back by the!
French, who fought with great de- j
termination against hostile /forces
double their number. The position on j
Cote de L'Oie was similar. The Ger
j mans were held in check as long us
| daylight lasted. However, sheltering 1
j themselves in ravines in Corbeaux -
wood, they managed to force a way up j
a narrow lane leading to Cunjeres i
Wood, which stands on the top of the
ridge linking L'Ole and Morte Homme
i liills, only to be driven out of the
; greater part of tlleir conquest by a
I French counter attack on Wednes
; day. The German losses In officers
is particularly heavy, according tlo j
statements made by prisoners. and
this fact is believed to be the explana- |
ition of the unexpected spectacle of j
German officers up to the rank of!
, general, by orders of the Emperor, j
leading their men into action, instead '
of following them. This sight had not i
! been witnessed, it is said, for many I
j months.
Zeppelins are active behind the I
French lines, endeavoring to strike |
at communications. On Tuesday they :
appeared over Revigny station with
the evident intention of destroying a
trainload of munitions. The station
agent, named Piancon, \vith the help
of a station hand, with great coolness
and dexterity coupled up the seventy
cars composing the train and got
i them off to a place of safety, bombs
I exploding all around but none strik
ing the target. For this the station
j agent was decorated with the military
cross.
STOPPED SHORT
Taking Tonics, and nuilt up on
Kiglit 1-ood.
The mistake is frequently made of
Irving to build up a worn-out nervous
system on so-called tonics.
N.ew material from which to rebuild
used up tissue cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained only
from proper food.
"I found myself on the verge of a
nervous collapse, due to overwork and
study, and to illness in the family,"
writes a Wisconsin woman.
"My friends became alarmed be
cause I grew pale and thin and could
not sleep nights. I took various tonics,
but their effects wore off shortly after
I stopped takjng them. My food did
not seem to nfiurish me.
"Reading of Grape-Nuts, I deter
mined to slop the tonics and see what
a change of diet would do. I ate:
Grape-Nuts four times a day with j
cream, and drank milk also, went to I
bed early after eating a dish of!
Grape-Nuts.
"In about two weeks I was sleeping!
soundly. In a short time gained!
weight and felt like a different, wo-;
man. Grape-Nuta and fresh air were
the only / agents used to accomplish
the happy results." "There's a Rea
son." Name given by Postuni Co.,
