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
n1ulsihed 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 few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moistcn the hair with water
and rub it in, about 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 ioosens and takes
out every particle OF dust, dirt and
dandrnff.

THE JOYOUS HEART.
There is no sun in all this weary land,
The snow clouds somberly Cypress the
world.
The northwind stirs the snow with
the unseen hand,
As down the dreary day his threat is
hurled.
Standing before my window, Life
seems dead.
The world of witchery lies meath the
snow
Silent and gaunt great oak lifts its
head,
Waiting forlornly for the winds sharp
blow.
Dread winter now has painted in the
sky,
A picture desolate in drablike art.
But l have read your answer, sweet,
Have still the breath of June within
my heart.

Movement 10 Gathering Headway and

The impetus which the Jewish peo-
pie gave to missions and the relation
OF that impetus to us in our mission
AIRY endeavors was discussed by the
Rev. F. B. McAllister, who spoke last
night at the fourth of the week OF
prayer services at the Y. w. G. A.
Rev. McAllister is the pastor OF the
First Baptist church. His subject as
signed was. Mission and the Jews
In treating this subject, Mr.. Nc
A1lister said:
The subject does not mean, what
are we doing for the Jews in our mis-
|sionary activitfes?' It does not mean,
What missionary work are the Jews
Engaged in at the present timer But,
the significance to us is, what i'm
|petus have the Jews given to mis-
|sions in history and what relation has
that to us In our missionary endeay-
|ors?
"The Jewish people. in the time OF
Jesus Christ were in the center OF the
worlds activities. and rightly SO, for
God had chosen them to be His vessel
to extend His religion to the utter
most parts Of the world. Palestine
played her part, lived and died. She
had sent such men as Paul, Peter,
Barnabas, and others to the nations
about her and had incorporated into
their lives the religion she so fondly
held. At that time the Mediterranean
sea was the great highway OF the
world for about her was the civiliza-
ton, the population, and the wealth Of
the great nations. s.9

BIRTHDAY OF EARLY sENATo'

One hundred and three years ago
on January 9, 1872, in the old French
town of Sainte Genevieve, Missouri
occurred the birth of Augustus Y.
Dodge who was one of the first two
United States senators from Iowa.
|"Augustus Caesar Dodge was the
architect of his own life" says Or.
Louis Pelzer in biography published
by the State Historical society OF
Iowa. From early youth he had been
accustomed to the sweat on his brow.
Working among the rude frontier set
Elements he had lived amidst their
crudities and their narrow preJudlces
as well as in their free democratic
spirit. He never enjoyed even 4
course in the common schools, to say
nothing of a college education. This
lack of early training he tried later to
remedy by persevering efforts at
study, by reflection, and by an enor-
nous amount of reading And yet,
In spite of these handicaps, Dodge be-
came at the age of twenty-eight the
delegate to congress from the territory
of Iowa. Later he was elected Unit
ed States senator and still later was
appointed United States minister to
Spain. He died on November 20,
1883, and was buried in Aspen Grove
cemetery in Burlington, Iowa.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much aileali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Just
ordinary muisified oocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely grease

anything else you can use for
ghampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lathar, and
dieanses the hair and scalp thor
