Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, If you want to keep your hair looking Its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins It. ' The best thing for steady use Is Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which Is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water unc> rub it An. It makes an abundance or rich, Vreamy lather, which rinses out easily, every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine und silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months.

Troubles Due To Acidity SAYS NEW YORK I'HVSICIAV A well-known New York physician in speaking of dyspepsia and its proper treatment says that so-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation Is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stoni ach. and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, wnile the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. Thb trouble lies largely in the fermenting food, causing the formation of excess acid. Such fermentation is unnatural, and may involve most serious conse. quences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation ol the food contents of the stomach anu to neutralize the dangerous acid arm make it harmless, a teaspoonful ot blsurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold warei Immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops tin. fermentation, sweetens the stomach contents and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wina and acidity are dangerous and unneces sary. Stop or prevent them by the us, of a proper antacid, such as blsurateo magnesia, which can be obtained rroni any druggist and thus enable the stom ach to do its work properly without he ing hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids.

Use Telegraph Want Ads THURSDAY EVENING, Silver Sandals A Detective Story of Mys tery, Love and Adventure. By Clinton H. Stagg Copyright, W. J. TVatt & Co.. International News Service. (Continued From Yesterday.) A touch of a button on his desk was answered oy a sleepy-eyed ser- vant. "Coffee, John," (he blind man ord ered. The servant bowed and with drew. Hhe showed no surprise at the presence of the girl. All Colton's household knew he was working on a case, and anything strange might happen in the house was only part of it. "I'm going!" The girl jumped from the fcouch. Colton slowly turn ed and walked to where she stood. His hand on her shoulder once more gent ly forced her back. "A little coffee will straighten your overwrought nerves," he said. . "You think that something went wrong that Philip is guilty of you said murder!" She stammered the disconnected sentences, and his hand on her shoulder felt her trembl ing. He knew how her thoughts had been working in the silence he had forced after she had told him the thing he wanted to know the con fession of Bracken's absence that she had withheld so long. i He did not answer her question. When he spoke, it was merely a soft voiced command to rest. "You are going out!" she suddenly accused. "As soon as X have taken a bit of black coffee," he nodded. "X won't stay!" Once more there was fear In her voice, and he knew it was fear for the safety of the man she had so trusted. "You will." His voice was quiet. "I am going to call up a girl to stay with you. She is a great friend of Sydney. They are to be married." He went to the desk and took the telephone. "XTntil she comes. John will stand outside the door. I hate to do this, girl"—the softness was in his voice again—"but you refuse to trust me fully. You have fought me for three hours. You have given way only as far as you wished, I know better than to ask you anything fur ther, for I can see your mind at work. It's the kind of a mind that made your father carry out his scheme des pite all obstacles he knew would be in the way. sTou are the only wo man that ever made me confess de feat. I shall have to go my own way to help you, and God knows you need more help than you realize, girl!" "Where are you going'.'" she de manded. refusing, toward the last, even to listen. "1 am going to see your aunt." j Colton moved the chessboard so that the servant could put down the tray, ' with its cups of coffee, got the tele phone number he wanted, and asked j Sydney Thames' fiancee if she would i help him. "You will never find her!" declared the girl beside him triumphantly; but under the triumph the blind man j knew there was a trace of fear. She did fear him! The look on his face that had caused het nervous fingers I to break the wineglass in the restau- j rant, when she had seen him touch the wrist of her dead father, was there i now. "You can't find her!" she re- | peated, but she was trying to convince herself rather than him. "I will find her," he said, "and when T do 1 will show her something that ' will end the case.'* The hand that did not hold the coffee cup made a i gesture over the chessboard. night there were four-moves to check- j mate. The visit to Ihe hotel and your visit here were two. The game will j end at noon to-day." He set down the rmpty coffee cup, picked up his hat, stick and gloves. At the door he turned. "You may sleep, if you wish, until Miss Nelson comes. No one will disturb vou. This door is very thick, so thick that even sound won't go through it. John will be outside. The windows are locked securely. Auf wiedersehen." He closed the door behind him, turned the key in the lock. Then he ran lightly up the stairs to his own room, took the receiver from the hook of the extension 'phone, and listened. He was not a minute too soon. Came the click of the receiver in the library downstairs, then the girl's voice: "Sixteen-twelve, Bell, quickly!" She was trying to warn her aunt! Colton did not replace the receiver on the hook. He set it gently on the table and tiptoed from the room so that there would be. no possibility of her hearing a sound over the wire The plan had worked! She had fol lowed the lead he had so cleverly worked out. His telephoning to Na dine Nelson had put the idea into her mind, as he had intended it should in impressing her with the fact that he could not fail; his talk of the sound-proof door had made her clutch at the one straw. It was a straw, for Colton had cut the outside wires with his knife, concealed on the palm of his hand, when he had finished talk ing over the 'phone. He had located the hiding place of the aunt in the only way possible. All that was necessary now was a call to the telephone "information," and the big car. Colton ran upstairs and look ed into Sydney's room. His secretary was sleeping peacerully, quietly. In a few hours he would be the normal eyes ol the blind man once more The problemist knew that there was no need of a guard outside the heavv door of the library, so he left the ke'v with John, and gave him his instruc tions. Colton walked around the corner *?. l he > P i",',\' a,e ? ar " Be ' ""'1 found Michael filling the big car's gasoline tanks. "Any one watching for the girl to come out, Michael?" asked Colton as he stood in the doorway. "Yes, sorr. A stout felle.v in black does. But his face looked like a sport." "Norman, probably," declared the blind man. "I thought perhaps he'd be the one looking for the girl to come with the crow. That's why I asked you to keep an eye out. j-iow long did he wait?" "More'n two hours, sorr. An" he seemed mighty scared when he passed here, sorr. 1 was watchin' Trough a crack in the windey shade." "Beginning to close in on them," the blind man said grimly, "and thev realize It." . "Seemed a bit queer, beggin' yer pardon, not to bother him, sorr" the Irish chauffeur said, a bit dubiously. "This isn't a case for the blind] Michael." Colton smiled a bit queer ly. "Eyes are solving this puzzle. First it was the eyes of Sydney. Then your eyes, that located the house of Silver Sandals. The eyes of the district at torney, the eyes of the police, and the eyes of all the others that have been connected with the case have helped clear up the ends since Sydney was taken away from me. The eyes of the girl and the eyes of the man who was watching will make the finish easy for me, I think. Eyes can only see the obvious, and the actions of men and women are governed mainly by eyes."

Then: "Did you see how the girl came?" "Big Fairfield car, -sorr. Driv it herself. It's 'round the corner." "Jove, but she's game!" Colton ejaculated admiringly. "The gnmest woman I ever met!" he repeated. Then he finished softly: "But foolish very, very foolish!" "She is sorr, to be tryin' to beat you, sorr." Michael shook his head wisely. "See any one else around?" "No, sorr." "Sure?" Michael scratched his head.. "Well, a drunk fell down in front of the gar rige a few minutes back." "You went out to pick hijg) up?" HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH "I helped him, sorr. He was In bad shape." "Thickset, square jaw?" Colto* ask ed sharply. The chauffeur stammered "Yea, sorr." "Thought McMann was too blamed humble!" Colton jumped into the big car. "Watching to get a line on the thing that's too much for him! Piker!" "If I'd knowed!" belched the Irish man, furious at the thought of any one trying to beat Colton. "Never mind," cut in the blind man. "The nearest telephone. Quick!" Three minutes later the problemist was in an all-night drug-store 'phone booth. A minute of palaver, and Col ton had the address the girl had tried to get. It was a house on the Boston ■Road, just below Yonkers, and the telephone was under the name of Bracken! So that was the hiding place they l had chosen. One of the retreats of the | publicity-hating hotel owner. •No | doubt the son had secured the key to I that, too, and made it the rendezvous ■ where the woman of the silver sandals and the girl might hide safely. And It was one of the Bracken cars the girl had used. There was no doubt of that; nor was there much doubt of tho fact that she had driven her aunt to the place when they had left the small car to be taken back to the district attorney's garage. It had been clever work, borrowing the official's car to Involve him, and then returning it at a time that would prove he had noth ing to do with the escape of the two women. But the case was nearing 1 its end now, and it would be a grim end for some one. For the first tijne | SEPTEMBER 14, 1916 In his life Thornley Colton put the criminal ahead of tne crime puzzle. A man who would try to put murder at the door of a grirl like the one who was locked in Cotton's library! "Speed!" ordered the blind man, and he got it. There were few persons abroad at dawn, and the wary Michael knew how to dodge and avoid the po lice. Up above Van Cortlandt Park the car started to eat up the miles. Colton straightened in the cushions, his whole face drawn with the con centration of listening. "Lose that car trailing us!" he yelled at the driver; then he spoke to himself: "Sometimes McMann shows evidence of a brain. He's picked up that Fairfield car the girl left. Bull dog!" Colton was angry. The bungl- j ing captain could spoil the whole plan by doing the wrong thing at the right ! time. "Sure that man who was watch- j ing for the girl got away?" he yelle<J again. "Yes, sorr!" Michael screamed back. "There was no one around when he went. I know that!" "Thank the Lord!" murmured Col ton fervently. "It's taken him thes hours to figure that hatching me is his only chance." (To Be Continued.) Resorts ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. HOTEL KINGSTON Ocean Ave., lit hotel (100 feet) from Beach.
