When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
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 com
mon mulsified cocoanut oil, for this
is pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or
anything else all to pieces.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
Yon.can get mulsified cocoanut oil
(it must be mulsified, plain cocoa
nut oil will not do) at any phar
macy, and a few ounces will supply
every one in the family for months.
| Hair Made Beautiful
Wherever you go you hear people
comment upon a pretty woman and
it is really beautiful hair more than
perfect features that give her the
appearance of charm, youth nnd
beauty.
Any woman can merit this praise,
for beautiful hair is only a matter of
care. Just as a plant needs attention
and nourishment so must the hair
hnve care and nutriment to make it
grow long, thick, soft, fluffy and
lustrous. The scalp must be free
from dandruff, and the hair roots
properly nourished, as nature in
tended.
Parisian Sage, a delicately per
fumed liquid tonic that is easily ap
plied at home, is just what is needed.
It tones up and invigorates the roots
of the hair and furnishes the neces
sary elements to mnke it grow long,
soft, abundant and full of life.
Since Parisian Sage, which can be
obtained from H. C. Kennedy, or at
any drug counter, never disappoints,
it is no longer necessary for any
woman to bo humiliated because of
thin, faded, lifeless or unattractive
hair—and pretty hair, more than
anything else, helps every woman
to retain her charm and youthful np
pearance.—Adv.

LISI OF OON'IS ISSUED
TO PREVENT FORESTFIRES
The Public's Co-Operation Is Sought
By Federal Bureau to Stop Blazes
Which Are Causing Big Losses In
the East
Washington, D. C., May 11. —To
obtain the co-operation of the public
in preventing forest fires which are
doing a great deal of damage in the
East this spring, the United States for
est service has prepared ten "Don'ts"
to be observed in the woods. It is
hoped that these rules may have bene
ficial effect during the fire season of
the Southern Appalachians, which is
not yet over, and that of the north
woods, which is just beginning and
which, from present indications, prom
ises to be unusually severe.
The "Don'ts" follow:
1. Don't throw your match away un
til you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
3. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other inflaminaible ma
terial.
4. Don't built a camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't built a fire against a tree,
log, or a stump or anywhere but on
bare soil.
6. Don't leave a lire until you are
sure it is out; if necessary smother it
with earth or water.
7. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods if there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start a new
fire.
8. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home.
9. Don't be idle when you discover
a fire in the woods; if you can't put it
out yourself, get help. Where a forest
guard, ranger or State fire warden can
be reached, call him up on the nearest
telephone you can find.
10. Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence are the
causes of more than half of the forest
fires in this country, and that the
smallest spark may start a conflagra
tion that will result in loss of life and
destruction of timber and young growth
valuable, not only for lumber but for
their influence in helping to prevent
flood, erosion and drought.
Many thousamls of acres of forest
and suburban woodland from Maine to
Florida, and from the Atlantic coast
as far west as Arkansas, have been
burned over already this spring by
fires which started for the most part
from presentable causes. On the na
tional forest purchase areas alone, 49
fires occurred in March, burning over
more than 6,5'00 acres, while 4 4 fires
starting on private land near or with
ing government boundaries damaiged
nearly 5,500 acres. Fires in April were
even more numerous and severe, but
rains in the latter part of the month
helped the situation somewhat. Fire
statistics for April are not yet avail
able.
The Harrisburp Polyclinic Dispensary
will be open daily except Sunday at
3 p. m., at its new location. Front and
Harris streets, for tlie free treatment of
the worthy poor.

"No, ma'am."
"Weren't you born exactly one mile
eusl of Pod unit ?"
"No—that is to say, I was born there,
but I was reared"—
"In Podtiuk Itself, a hanilot of thir
teen houses and a cider mill!"
"Mrs. Bowser." he continued after a
moment, crossing bis hands under Ills
eonttails and halnncing himself heel
and toe, "I want to define my position
in this matter. You were born and
brought up in the country. You have
never had a chance fo study human
nature as I have. The overage face is
the index of the average mind, but
ynu haven't learned to read facial ex
pressions yet."
"Have you?" she asked as he halted
for breath.
"Certainly! Indeed, it came natural
to me. 1 can detect an unworthy per
son at a glance. I can almost tell
what he Is thinking about. From the
mere glance I got at tlint woman's
face 1 would wager my shoes against
a-toothpick that she Is a chronic beg
gar and a wretched fraud."
"I can't believe it." replied Mrs. Bow
ser.
"Indeed! What you can or cannot be
lieve is of very little importance to a
nation of 00,000,000 people. Mrs. Bow
ser. I sny she was unworthy, and that
settles it. However. I do not blame
yon so verv much, as she probably
told a very plnustble story. But let
this be the lam time. I am just as
charitable as the next mau. and per
haps more so. but I want to know who
I'm giving to."
"I can't help but believe she was Just
what she represented herself," protest
ed Mrs. Bowser.
"That matter was definitely settled.
Mrs. Bowser—definitely settled, under
stand—when I declared her unworthy.
I will some day give you instructions
as to rending bumnn nature, but until
I do give to no more mendicants. You
simply encourage fraud, vice, ignorance
and crime. There is no telling but
what your action in this case will land
that woman behind prison bars to
morrow."
"I don't see how it could," she re
plied.
"Probably uot. There's a great many
things you haven't seen, can't see and
never will see, Mrs. Bowser. When I
am away give all such people the cold
shoulder. When lam home refer them
te me. In that way no mistakes can
possibly arise."
About 8 o'clock that evening the gate
bell rang, and pretty soon the cook
came in and reported that there was •
man outside who wanted money foe a
night's lodging.
"Ah! Got the house located down
fine, haven't they?" sarcastically ex
claimed Mr. Bowser, who was reading
his newspaper.
"Tell him we have nothing te gtve,"
■aid Mrs. Bowser to the cook.
"Tell him uothing of the kind!" add
ed Mr. Bowser. "On the contrary, send
him right in here. Here's a chance for
you. Mrs. Bowser, to take a first lesson
in reading human nnture. See how
quickly 1 will turn him wrong side out.
Move that chair for him to sit down on."
A moment later the man was shown
In. He was a tough looking specimen
of mankind and looked as If he had
tramped twice around the globe. There
was rum in his breath and shavings in
his hair, and bad be even appeared by
daylight Mrs. Bowser would have shut
the door on his toes.
"Well, sir?" sharply queried Mr. Bow
ser.
"It's a case of heart disease, sir, and
I can't work," whined the man.
"Run out your tongue."

It appeared and vanished.
"Let rue feel your pulse."
Me extended a band.
"My man." said Mr. Bowser, "you
have told me tlie truth. Your heart Is
very much affected. I also see hy your
face that you are an honeft, truthful
man. Here's n dollar for yon. (rood
night!"
"And you call him deserving?" gasp
ed Mrs. Bowser after the tramp had
slid out with an expression of the
greatest amazement on his face.
"Certainly I do! Saw It the Instant
he entered the room. It's just as he
says about Ills heart, and 1 ought to
have Riven him twice what I did."
"If he isn't a tramp and a fraud
then 1 don't know one!" firmly replied
Mrs. Bowser.
"Of course you don't. That's what
I've been trying to tell you. I'd trust
that man to carry my wallet all day.
A little down at the heel, but
ouglily honest and conscientious. Hel
lo! What's tbatV"
"Please, sir, but here's a polioemau.
who wants to speak with you at the
gate." said the cook from t lie hall door.
"Policeman! That's funny. Where's
my hat?"
Mrs. Bowser followed him out. TlierS
stood an officer, and there stood the
man to whom Mr. Bowser had just
given $1 J
"Caught him carrying these thing*
off. sir." said the officer as he pointed
to a pail, an umbrella, the cook's
shawl, several knives and a platter,
which the scamp had picked up in thij
kitchen as the cook's back was turned!
"You—you did?" gasped Mr. Bowser:
"Yes, sir. He's a bad man. sir, a
regular thief. I've sent him over the
road three times myself."
"Is It possible! What have you got
to say to all this, my man?"
"That you're the ripest old pumpkiii
I ever shook for seeds!" answered th 4
man in a hilarious voice.
When the officer had taken him away
and they hud returned to the sitting
room Mrs. Bowser looked at her liege
lord and queried:
"Well?"
"Well what?" he snapped.
"It seems you were mistaken."
"It doesn't seem anything of the
sort! In his great mental excitement
over receiving such a large sum of
money the man absently picked up
those things and if not seized by tbq
officer would have brought them back
and apologized. I'll see to It tomor
row that the officer's overzenlousness
gets a setback. I've got the earache
standing out there, and I think I'll ge
to bed." $
