USE 6200000 GALLONS MR HOMI DAY
Average Water Meter Bills for June Showed One Cent Increase Over May.
Did you use a lot of water during the recent hot spell? Probably you did but the 'quantity you consumed was' less than Tn the hot spell two years ago. This fact is attested by the report of the Terre Haute Water Works company made public Wednesday morning, which shows that the maxir mum pumpage was approximately 4,000,000' gallons less for any one day during the recent period of hot weather than it%was for the same period in 1914.
The reduction in the consumption of water is noticed in spite of the fact that there re about 500 new customers since 1914, and is the result of the use of a larger number of meters which has stopped the former waste. During 1914 the water works pumped over 10,200,000 gallons of water on their biggest day. This year the maximum for any one day has been 6,200,000.
The "peak 6f the load" represents the highest rate at which the water is be-

ing pumped in any one day. The water is not pumped at this rate all of the time but possibly for an hour or several hours in order that there shall be no slack in meeting the demand. The "peak of the load" for 1914 is represented by over 16,000,000 gallons and for 1916 so far it has not exceeded 10,000,000 gallons. Ninety-three per cent of the consumers now use meters and the remaining 600 flat rat© payers are small consumers, paying an average of 54 cents per month. The number of meters set alone this year has been 3,500.

Alkali tn Soap Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and grea6eless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair^with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy, lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of duBt, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fip.e and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a Jew' ounces will supply nun* befeof theifamily for months.

The Confessions of Roxatie
BY FRANCES WALTER,
(Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
I LEARN THAT MR. GORDON LOVES ME I think that if Mr. Gordon had taken me In his arms at that moment I should not have made the least objection. I might even have clung to him in my hysteria. It is possible that I might have gone further and begged him to take- me away from this city, where I had encountered sorrow ,from the moment I arrived. But he made no move. He did not touch me. He did not even attempt to console or quiet me with words.
When my tears began to fall he straightened up and sat rigid and silent. As my emotion became greater he rose and passed to and fro in front of where I was seated. Not a word came from his lips. He did not even look at me for a long while.
This way of dealing with my emotion proved the most efficacious that could have been devised. I soon quieted, and after wiping away my tears I looked up at him, He ^topped before me and looked down into my eyes. His face was very grave and there was a peculiar light in the depths of his great, dark eyes. But he merely shook his head slowly 'as he continued to gaze stoadlly at me. "Please forgive me," pleaded contritely. "I did not wish to make such a spectacle of myself, I do not know what is tho matter with ma." "I think you do," h« contradicted flatly. "You know, and so do I."
I glanced curiously up at him, but could not read his meaning, "Women do not give way suddenly to such emotion unless there is a reason for it,'' he went on. "No one does. People in normal health and spirits are normal human beings, and normal beings do not shed tears when they ought to be laughing and enjoying the beauties about them. If that bird yonder were suddenly to fall to the ground we might be eurious, but we would not be astounded, We would know there was a good reason for it, By the same token, if you are sad when you should be gay, if you weep when you should smile, I know something is wrong with you, Am I not right?" "Certainly," I agreed faintly, "but it all came upon me so unexpectedly." "Perhaps," said he, "Unexpectedly, but not without sufficient cause, In your case I shall surprise you by saying that the cause was not at all romatie,"
He paused and looked quizaieaily at as.

He appeared to be lost in thought for a moment. "I have it I" he cried at length. "Lobster! Lobster, salad!"
I smiled in spite of myself. His tone was almost tragic and his attitude quite so. Lobster as the climax of a lesson in Inductive logic might easily have caused outright laughter instead of merely a smile. "The mystery is solved!" he continued. "You should have taken a pompano. They are much more easily digested."
The lightness of his words grated on me. Was it possible he .was ridiculing me?
He must have* noted a change in my face, for he sobered instantly and looked at me f6r a moment almost as if he was frightened. Suddenly he threw himself down by my side. "Oh, Roxane!" he cried, "don't you know I Couldn't you tell!"
I started away from him, but the movement was needless. He had mastered himself once more and turntd from me, his eyes downcast, his hands clenched. "Pardon me," he said, finally, "Like you, I had a moment of weakness, but it is all over now. I shall not allow it to be repeated."
So he was trying to hide his love for me! And I had thought he was making fun, as we used to say when we were children. My own denseness and vanity finally had compelled him to declare himself. And now that Jie had confessed his love, what had eome of it? Instantly he had turned away, begging my forgiveness. (Would he despise me? He who had been such a dear friend in my trouble, would he pass out of my life because he dare not trust himself to be near me?
I was frightened at the thought, I did not want him to go from me, I turned to him, 'T am the one to seek pardon," I told him, "I am the ungrateful one, In all other respects' you are right, We both have had moments ef weakness, but

"Indeed?" His manner it seemed to me was forced. He appeared to be attempting to pass lightly over something which had affected him deeply, but which he could not altogether conceal. He chose his words carefully and spoke them as though Impelled by his own will power instead of by the involuntary human desire to communicate an idea. He went on: "What for Instance, did you have for lunch? No, wait! Do not tell me. Let me guess."
