DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkal.
which Is very injurious. as 1t dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just plain
mulsifed 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 tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance Of rich. creamy
lather. cleanses thoroughly. and
rinses out easily. The hair dries

Political Gossip.

None of the candidates for our
parish offices have made public
announcement of their candidacy
as yet.
So far we have heard of but one
candidate for the office ofSherif
one for Assessor, and one for
Coroner, but it seems to be the
concensus Of opinion that more
will soon follow.
The present incumbent, Hon.
Paul BertheIot. is serving his
fourth term as Sheriff and he has
given such universal satisfaction
as such that the people are very
much inclined to let we'll enough
alone
We don't suppose that there is
a more vigiIant sheriff in the
State than Paul Berthelotand his
constituents are aware of this and
are not troubling themselves just
now to find his successor.
