This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful, Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease: less) is much better than anything else. you can poisibly use for sham- "pooling, as this can't possibly injure the hair. of Simply moisten your hair with wa- tor and rub it in.

NOTHING ON EARTH Friends Surprised at His Im- provement Since Taking Tanlac..... Gains Ten Pounds. -- . Here is another instance of the re- markable powers of Tanlac. 'Alfred Foster, a' well-kgown employee of the Harris Lithoglaphing Co., an the Sterling Road, 'Toronto, a few days ago said: 3 You can just take the word of a man who has doctored and taken medicine for many years; there's no medicine on earth like Tanlac. Some ten years ago my stomach got out of order and in spite of the best treatment I kept going down until they finally took me to the hospital and operated on me, taking out both my gall bladder and appendix. I was in the hospital for two months and after getting out from there I was un- able to do a hit of work for six months more. 1 regained some of my strength but pretty soon my old trouble came back, and I suffered just as bad as 1 ever had, 1 couldn't eat hardly anything and never tnjoy- ed the, little I did eat.' In a little while after eating my stomach would sour, my side WOT ro ral pain was so intense that iI could hardly bear it. My stomach just seemed to be full of gas which would rise up into my chest and almost cut off my. breath. I always had a sick- ening 'taste in my mouth and my tongue was always badly coated. 1 felt bilious and dizzy, my skin was, sallow looking and even my eye-| balls were right yellow. - I would work for a while and then be laid up sick for six or seven weeks, I had no life or strength and it was just by force of will that I managed to drag myself around. In fact, during these four years, following the operation, I felt simply awful, While reading the paper one day my eyes fell on a Taplac testimonial that seemed to fit my case exactly and ever since then I have bedn taking it and gradually getter better. I have gained ten pounds and feel like a dif. ferent man altogether and only to- day called on some friends who were surprised to see me looking so im- proved and asked 'me what in the world 1 had been taking. [| haven't had a sign of swelling and bloating since I began using Tanlac. My ap- petite is great and I can eat just anything I. want. All that bilious, yellow look is gone and my skin is clear and healthy looking as a baby's. That lump has gone out of my side, my pain is ai gone and 1 simply feel that Tanlac has saved my life, and 1 will cheerfully tell anybody who cares to call on me what I have founa out about Tanlac, ] Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. Chown. ~--~ADVT, I A te i i ati of the laws concerning sediticn will immediately win to the side of the Governmeat the best elements among the French. Serupulous adherence to the spirit of the Federal pact can be maintained - without sacrifice of the urgent needs of the cause of "ivilization in the war, but patiy and. non-essentfal points of proced- ure, as for esample the absurd de- lay in setting the officers af tlie Federal police to do the work of ar- resting offenders which has beon so openly shirked by the local police, must be waived aside. The problem of .the relations of the races in Canada will take gene- rations for its solution, but the pro- Dea of preventing the division of the races from delaying the national effort in the war can be faced st once and faced with a proper appre- ciation of its magnitude. The pre- sent cabinet is probably strong en- ougly. for the task. If they set to work to the best of their ability, the country can ask no more at present. 5 ~H, F. GADSBEY. ------ WOULD HELP OTHERS.
