I h.u e been taking mineral Oil and find that it does the 33ork. Is this harmful if used right along?

When the ointment begins to make the scalp or hair too greasy, shampoo. After the scalp is free from dandruff, apply the ointment occasic‘inally to prevent a recurrence. Keep the scalp clean by a shampoo every week or ten days. Always dry the hair carefully after washing. Do not pick off the scabs. Instead, grease the scalp at night with either vaseline or liquid petroleum. Leave this on all night. and in the. morn- ing. shannmo with warm water- and some. 200” toilet soap, tar soap or tim'ture of green soap. 'Then apply to the scalp (not the hair) a little of an ointment consisting of one part sulphur and nine parts of petroleum. _ v V" â€"--â€"â€"- v~-*--cwvv aulvu new that.

Last January a Spanish freighter from Rio to Durban dropped anchor long enough to buy some fresh meat. The Rogers were taken of! by a to stay a moment longer than nec- essary near this spot. A Savage Spot What makes the island dreaded by seamen is the fact that itseems to be the centre of a sort of hurricane belt. The winds are terrible in their force, and the suddenness with which they arise, and there is no good anchorage. On land, it is said, that when the wind is high, it is impossible to take a cup of milk from one house to another. The milk will be swept out of_ the cup.

Mr. Rogers and" his wife, who had spent three years on the Island of Tristan da Cunha, returned to England. Since'they had been on the island, just thrice had a ship touched there. Just thrice had the natives .a glitnpse of a strange face. The Pioneers “fifim The present _ population is 140, and when the misswnaries returned, they reported that they were ap- proaching destitution. The sup- plies landed almost two years ago were nearly exhausted. There was no soap, tea, candles, sugar, flour or new clothing. For two years, the potato crop had failed, and seabirds’ eggs had failed as a supply because of the frequent raids in the past. The islanders at the present time are living almost wholly on fish. One of the troubles is that the island : is overpopulated. More than fifty ’ years ago fifty of the islanders were induced to leave and settle in Cape Colony, but it was not long before the population had again risen to more than 100. In 1885, the recur-i ring problem was tragically solved when all the adult males but one were tragically drowned while at- tempting to trade with a passing ship. In 1905, the population was 80, and another attempt was made to induce some of the peOple to es- tablish themselves in South Africa, where life would be easier. In some respects, the islanders enjoy a re- markable freedom. There is no money, no taxes, no jails, no crimes, because there are no laws. All the property is held in common.

Marriages are recorded by the contracting parties writing their names in a book kept by Robert Glass, a de- scendant of the original patriarch. Wlmwver a chaplain happens to be . aboard a vessel which touches at the island. the book is taken aboard, ‘ and the marriages of the previous years given official sanction.
