DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't use
soap. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos 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 oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. 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. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

names on the tablet are those Of the
directors, the secretary of the board

dent, and Archer c.. Miller, secretary.
The other names and inscription are
similar to the one at the Jefferson
school.
Both Of the school buildings will be

that remains to be done in the Gar,
field building, inside, is to put in th'
electric light globes and install the

1t is most important to the main

DEATH OF BARON
RECALLS ROMANCE
Princess was Not Permitted to Marry

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 13.-Baron Won
Bleichoeder, hero in romantic love
affair Of high court circles that

action with the German army before
Warsaw, according to Berlin advices
received here last night.
Love for the young baron caused
the beautiful Princess Sophie of Sake
Weimar to shoot and kill herself in
her fathers castle two years ago be-
cause barriers of rank prevented their
marriage. The baron, son of the fam
Gus German banker and heir to one
OF the greatest fortunes In Europe,

Fresh from Berlin and Heidelberg.
the handsome young baron fell vio-

but Grand Duke Ernst. head Of the
house of Weimar, threatened to
disinherit the princess II she married
beneath her rank.
For seven years the princess sought
to move the grand duke. Finally her
baron lover gave up in despair and
sailed for America. He plunged Into
the swirl Of Wall street and for a
wear tried to blot out the memory OF
the princess by diligent work in an
international banking house. In 1910
the old love called him back. There
were more meetings between the
baron and princess, and according to
Paris newspapers secret meetings and
trips incognito through France. Then
the prince made one final appeal to
her father and grand duke. There
was a violent scene in Heildelburg
ca stle. The princess retired to her
apartment. A shot rang out. servants
rushed in and found her dead.
