If you want to keep your hair look- ing its best, be careful what you wash it with. Don't use prepared sham- . poos or anything else, that contains too much alkall. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. Tho best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else yon can use, One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough- ty. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an work sua wolng / % gg; Hotel Accommodation. Y Kingston, Feb. 12.--(To the Edi- tor) As regards hotel accommoda- tion to the farmers, might say I bid a small fetter in the Standard on the Sth inst, but found later that I was a little too soon with if, as in reading the report of the Board of Trade meeting carefully, I noticed a great many uncomplimentary re {marks which were entirely upjustifi- able. As many another man in the business I thought I ran a straight hotel in every respect. While not finding any fault with the policemen who came around to find out how many borses I could accommodate, there rag have been some misuhder- standing, as n accommodate one hundred (100) horses at any time, and did look after one hundred and twenty-six (126) the Saturday be- fore Christmas. I don't think there is any man in the business who work- ed lopger hours than I did to accom- modate the public and get as little credit. With the exception of three days at Christmas and New Year's, my stables and yards have not been Walf full excepting on Saturdays, and not full on any Saturday sinee Sep- tember 16th, 1916, Regarding Mr. Laidlaw's remark that the root of the trouble was in the fact that the hotels did not have the right class of men a8 Managers, perhaps he is a little sore because the hotel vil not deliver his parcels. On a Saturday pot long ago Mr. Laldlaw sent two parcels to my hotel to be delivered to a man on Sunday (just think of it), and I refused to do so. If he refers to this regarding hotel management, he has not much cause for complaint, Regarding Mr. Vair's statement about women accommodation, with the exception of a few of my custom- ers, and very few at that, I would not mind if the rest would stay away, as they are a detriment to the place. ay a dime the men have wanted syemen to have digner at the they. would refuse and go bwin, buy a ten cent or fifteen "funch, come back and eat it in my parlor or sitting room, and. use my hotel in every respect, excepting paying for anything. The men have often quarretled with their wives in 'the hotel over this stinginess and un- fairness to the man furnishing them accommodation. Regarding Mr. Laid- law's offer of $100 for ten years for accommodation for the farmer, with the present overplus of hotel dccom- maodation, he might better give it to the widows and orphans, as any self- ing farmer does not want charity, but is willing to pay for his accommodation, the others we are better without. Mr. Abernethy, commercial travel- ler, remarks that the churches 'be- tween Deseromto and Cornwall open their sheds to the farmers and have their sextons Took after the horses. 1 have always thrown open my yards on Sunday free of .charge to church abundance of rich, creamy lather, going which rinses out easily, removing ey ery particle of . dust, dirt, dandruff; and excessive oil. YThe hair dries ! quickly and evenly, and it leaves the | scalp #oft, and the hair fine and silky, | bright, lustrous, fluffy and" easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut at any phurmaey, it's very cheap, dnd a few ounces will supply every mem- bar of the family for months, peopl Rega: Mr. 'Fair's statement that he did net think the farmers complained about the raise in price of stable accommodation. I know different, and we hotel men are sure- been more kicking from the farmers on account of the raise than he is aware of. Mr. Fair says that if the city wants the country trade it is up to the city to get after it, but we con- tend that there is loss of accommoda- fon if 'the farmer will pay for it, and 1 will say, on behalf of the hotelmen of Kingston, that they do not want any cheap skates from the country around their hotels. As an instance, Ji only last Saturday I had thirty-six (36) drivers, without the women, to bring those rigs in, and I only had five for dinner, aud mv stables were vary litfle over half full. This is the @ass of trade that ia neither good for the hotelman or the city, and if the }! city wants to do something for char- itv. why not herd them across the ll bridge on Barriefield common, where # Hithey 'could. eat their crackers and }!tor) © buns in peace and not be a nuisance to the mavine evests of hotels-- | JOHN COUSINEAU, Proprietor Hotel | Royal, The Hotel Situation. seston.

Buy up sufficient livery and hotel stables, which seems to be the erying need. This would do sway with the horse trouble.

Also, often storekeep- ers' help In delivering parcels drop- ped them amywhere in the hotel, in- stead of not leaving them, unless they found someone employed by the hotel to receive them, but, as I said befare, without remuneration to the hotel. The stores often employed small boys for-this kind of work, who could not be blamed, as I ex- pect they were never instructed to deliver them to anyone but the hotel building, thus losing the chain eof responsibility, but the boys were not the only ones who made this mis- take or took them to the wrong hotel altogether. 'Some would think when they saw a Jot of stages around a hotel this would be a paying thing, hut previous to September 16th, 1916, when alco holie beverages were transferred from the hotel to the private holmes (so-called: prohibition), the stages were given a rate that barely covered 'the the men's meals and horses' food, charges for yard, stable and parcel accommodation not being mentioned. Prices in my case were 25 cents for a stage driver's meal and 25 cents per horse requiring one psck of oats. Two years ago it was only twenty cents for this service. We were expected to accept these prices for the trade the stages brought to the hotel, which general- ly consisted of middle-aged women or ladies who generally who general- ly went elswhere for their noon meal, and thus the hotel was never a cent the better for their visit. = Another thing the public lose sight of .is, who ever did or does now provide lavatory accommodation for the farmers. their wives and citizens generally when on the street and If, as Mr. Vair says, even this inadequate ac- commodation, which existed previous to. September 16th, is not to be re- duced by at least a: half, the city fathers had better make a move to reduce the taxation on hotel 'and stable property, as suggested by the Ontario Legislature, when it was known that the hotels were going to have the only paying and of their business done away with. As I said before, the stabling end of the hotel business, except for a few days in the year, never did pay, bit was supposed to bring trade to hotels were never larger than hotels that had no stables, and consequent- iy they got rid of a Jet of trouble and expense, such as providing and keeping up as table, paying taxes on it, and as insurance men know, .in- surance rates on stables are three times as high as on private dwellings and have to be renewed yearly.
