The prospects for a baseball team for this place are not very bright at present and it is doubtful if Plainfield will be represented by a worthy ball team for the 1916 season. Nowhgre in the place is there any talk of organ- izing a team, nor is there any enthusi- asm shown. ' Last season baseball was practically dead here, as there was no Sunday ball, but in 1914 Plainfleld was represented by a ball team worthy of any small town. The Sunday ball games drew large crowds who were treated to good ball. The last big Sunday ball game was the final of a series between Moosup and Plainfield and was won by the local team by a score of 3 to 2. Tn that game there were many notable stars of the New London team, including Paddy Green, who twirled for Plainfieid, Barberich, Rock, Quinn and Marhefka. Bentley of the Providence Interpational team pitched for Moosup. The majority of the townspeople would delight in hav- ing Sunday baseball of a good clean athletic sort and there is plenty of g00d material for a team.

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 plain mulsified cocoanut ofl, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very heap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pleces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required.

Most cases of grippe. pneumonia, bronchitis and other serious throat and lung trouble come from a neglected cough. But even the worst cough can usually be stopped in a few days, while 1s coughs, taken in time, can often be ended In twenty-four hours by allow- ing a little Oxidaze (in tablet form) to aissolve slowly In the mouth every two or three houra.
