DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair. don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious. as 1t 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 1t in. about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.

The Republican press of the country
has repeatedly exposed the false claim
of the Democrats that it was the war
that cut off revenue. Statistics gath
cred from the reports of this admins
tration show that even before the war
the Democratic tariff law was not an
adequate revenue producer. The fall
ing off in imports since the war began
account for the shortage in revenue.
The fact is that the Democrats cut the
tariff rates to such an extent that ade-
quate revenue was impossible. Such
is the necessary result of Democratic
tariff policies.

AFTER YOU ARE FORTY

Forty is the age of greatest effort
with most people. Vitality is used up
at the most rapid pace. The struggle
to secure competence for old age pro-
duces nerve strain, the failure to sue
coed causes worry, nervous breakdown,
neurasthenia.
Middle-aged people find that they
cannot run as fast. nor are they as
agile as in youth. The internal organs
also feel the effect of age. The diges-
ton resents things that it accepted be-
fore, the heart palpitates' on slight ex-
ertion, the muscles of the back ache
after a days work. Your blood is
thinner and not SO bright red as
formerly.
When these things occur, whether
you are fourteen or forty, you need a
tonic. DIR. Williams Pink Pills suit
most peoples need because they are
non alcoholic and they really build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves.

"MiIitarism" in Colleges.


The Kennebec Journals correspon-
dent at Harvard college wired Of the
outbreak of the preparedness fever
there when 500 students signed their
names to Archie Roosevelt's call for a
regiment. 1t was the first real ex-
preston of Harvard undergraduate
opinion Many college presidents are
strongly opposed to the plan to make
military cadets of their student bodies.
That was clearly manifest by the head
of Haverford college when he de-
clared teachers had better "go out of
business if they were unable to i'm
part a moral training better than the
spread of militarism.'
| On this subject the Philadelphia
Telegraph says:
In the first place all the colleges in
America might undertake to give their
students some measure of training for
army service without being chargeable
with the spread of militarism. No ma
ton which required its young men to
devote a few months of their lives to
becoming acquainted with army prac-
tice could be accurately characterized
as militaristic.
There is, however. one rational
ground upon which training in col
leges might be opposed. We refer to
its possible interference with the
primary purpose of those institutions
TO fit young men for success in civil
life. Should investigation reveal that
ajority of educators look upon mill
tary training as something that would
distract the minds of teachers and stu :
dents the movement would receive a
decided check
+ Have the movements for football and
baseball received any decided check
because of having interfered with the
primary purpose of colleges?
y practical counter suggestion comes
from the head of Tome School He
recognizes the need of some training
for. army service, but insists that the
verious States or the Federal Govern
ment should provide summer training
camps for as many as may wish te
attend them. In the end it is probable
that some educational institutions Will
adopt military training. while Govern
ment camps referred to by president
Baker will be established to care for g
o. a.
