The best thing to use is Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it' Is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You ca Bet 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. It makes an abund anre of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is toft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy. ivavy and easy to handle.

Will you please Rive me the recipe for putting up red peppers in oil? Shall look for It in the Bunday Ore Conlau. Thanking you very much. IR3. K. I have at present no satisfactory recipe for putting up peppers in oil. Perhaps some reader may know of one, but those that we have tried cannot be recommended. Directions for putting- up peppers "in their own Juice" and in syrup were given in last Sunday's Oregonian. Kither method will be found more sat isfactory and .economical for home use than the one you name. GARIBALDI, Or.. July IT. My dear Miss Tlncle: If the time limit has expired, will you publish again the directions for canning 'salmon? I cannot remember whether It was to be scalded first. Do you take oil the skin? And how long should the water boil? With many thanks. A S. The salmon may be either scalded or treated with cold brine as below. The latter Is recommended by the Ore gon Agricultural College, but we have also had good results with the former. Do not remove the skin, as that con tains oil that helps to kep the prod uct moist. You shouid "scale" It, how ever, as a part of the "cleaning" process. Vanned Salmon (O. A. C. method.) Make a brine of salt and water that will support a potato and after clean ing the fish properly place in brine for one-half hour. Remove from the brine, cut into convenient sections and pack in glass jars with the skin to ward the outside. Add one level tea spoon salt to every quart. Adjust the rubber and cap, but not quite tight. Put on a rack in a washboller, in hot water to cover, and boil three hours, counting from the time when boiling actually begins. Remove the ' Jars, tighten covers. Invert to cool and test the Joint. Wrap in paper to prevent bleaching. Store in a cool place. Jt'I.T 1i.

Thanking you for the many helpful sugsesUons T find in your column; . MRS. J. it. W. I fear the cherry pickles may not keep, if your Jars are not air-tight. It would bo better to open them and test for inequalities, on tho jar or. cap, that may possibly be curable with a knife or file, and after noting whether the cherries are all sound repack with fresh brine and seal them air-tight. with sound rubbers. Too thin rubbers may possibly be the cause of the leak age. I am glad you find this column helpful. PORTLAND, July 18.

I do not think that the methods used for curing olives are suited for use with prunes. In any case prunes can not be considered as a "substitute for olives" or as a "similar product," aa their food value would be very low and they would lack both the oil and the flavor which make tho olive of value. A method for salting green or partly colored prunes or plums (sometimes called, rather unwisely, "plum olives") was given last Sunday and therefore cannot be repeated at present.
