Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared sham- j 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 1 mulsifled cocoanut. oil, for it is pure 1 and entirely greaseless. it's veryi cheap, and beats the most expensive •ioaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store,' and a few ounces will last the whole j family for months. Simply moisten the hair witli water! snd rub it in, about a teaspoonful is! nil that is required. It makes an j abundance of rich, creamy lather, j : leanscs thoroughly, and rinses out| easily. The hair dries quickly and j evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, j bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes, out every particle of dust, dirt and' dandruff. Bell "1-30" Five-Passenger Touring The Bell Nothing Better at the Price Before assuming Hie agency for the Hell Motor Cars in the ITnrrlsburg territory, I naturally investigated a great many ears in the popular-priced field, with the result that its many high-grade features found only in ears of the ?2,000 grade, convinced me, as It should you upon comparison, that there is none better at the price.

An Inventory Is being taken of all trains and stored cars on the two divisions. It was announced that for the first time in many eeks through freight trains from Pittsburgh to tidewater have been handled without any delay. In the Philadelphia yards where con gestions were the heaviest four weeks ago. it is said there Is very little freight awaiting orders from tide water. On the Middle division six trains which included 100 cars were moved from sidings during the past week. Between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh it is said there are 2.500 cars held up. This freight, it is said will be moved within the next 10 days. In the local yards the storage tracks are being cleared. Officials claim that the enforce ment of demurrage rates is greatly responsible for the activity on the part of manufacturers to handle t freight more promptly at certain | terminals. Wreckers Fail Twice in Effort to Derail Fast Trains Special to the Telegraph Wilmington, Del., April 11.—While running at the rate of 50 miles an hour, Baltimore and Ohio train No. 13, west-bound, known as tho Wells- Fargo express, struck an open switch in the gulley near tho plant of the Wilmington Leather company, yester day, but held to the rails. The en gineer felt the trucks giving way, shut off tho power, applied the brakes and brought the train to a stop. The crew found the switch lock broken and the switch open. Nearby on the ground lay a pick. Before the company's detectives could be notified of the attempt to wreck the express, word was received at the railroad company's local offices that a freight train bound from Phila delphia. had run into an open switch near this city. This train also held to the rails anil was not wrecked. P. R. R. Orders Heavy Rails; For Delivery Next Year The Pennsylvania Railroad in a few days will ask rail makers to submit; bids, under Pennsylvania specifica-i tions, for 120.000 tons of steel rails for the lines east. The requirements of: the lines west for 1917 delivery will probably be made up by that tinie| and the amount needed included in] the bids to be asked. The most significant feature of the 1917 roils is that they are to be. with | the exception of 5,000 tons, 130-pound i rails instead of *IOO-pound, and will be the heaviest rail ever used by the Pennsylvania or any other railroad, j The 1-910 order of 167,500 tons includ- j ed 25,000 tons of 125-pound rati, the 1 first departure from the standard i 100-pound rail.

Asthma and other diseases of the throat and lungs are so prevalent some ; wonderfully speedy recoveries have recently been effected by the use of a treatment known as Oxidaze, first in- j troduced by Dr. Eugene Howard, a prominent Worcester physician. Oxidaze, which is a powerful, but highly concentrated combination of curative agents, comes compressed in a small tablet which the patient dis solves in the mouth. One of these simple and pleasant tasting tablets put in the mouth just before going to bed clears out all the choked up air passages, soothes the irritated bron chial tubes and enables the asthmatic sufferer to breathe easily and naturally j while lying down and to get a com- j fortable night's sleep. Oxidase tab-; lets are harmless, contain no danger ous habit-forming drugs and are not at all expensive. G. A.
