Dear Readers: We feel sure that by
next Thursday. the 1915 Christmas
stocking club will have reached its
goal - / 200 pairs of stockings. Or
conrse we do not expect to have a
membership Of 1900. but many CLUBS
bring in many pairs of stockings.
Then TOO. the cash donations make 1t
possible to buy many pairs OF stock
jnes. If we have 1000 pairs OF stock
ings. 1900 needy children will be made
happy.
The Courier Juniors Stocking club
was the frst Christmas club in Iowa,
or any. of the nearby states and was
planned in this Office, December, 1916.
Its purpose Is to make needy children
happy at Christmas time. All one has
to do to become member OF the CLUB
Is to give nice pair of well filled
stockings or cash donation.
Here is one way to I'LL stocking:
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also toy. an orange, pair
OF mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. On the card with the don
or,s name put the age OF the child 1or
whom the stockings are intended.
we WANT THE DONORS TO
BRING IN THE STOCKINGS IOEs.
nAY IFe POSSIBLE. MANY WERE
BROUGHT IN TO-DAY.
The stockings will be left just as the
donors bring them in, and will be DIS
tributsd Christmas eve direct from
this ONCE, among little children whose
parents arc unable to provide any
Christmas cheer and to little ones be-
reft of their parents.
The 1915 Christmas Stocking club
is growing very fast, several new
names being telephoned In today.
The list up to 1910 clock this morn

Des Moines. March 1.-THE stu
alton in congress is not such as to be
encoura ging for good government,
said Senator kenyoa az he paused
moment at the state house yesterday.
The trouble is that the democrats are
not agreed. They are very much oil
yided and at outs and find it hard to
agree. And President Wilson, splen-
did man in many respects, is i'm
pressed with the idea that he is nrst
the president of the democratic party.
What is the best thing congress has
done at this last session." was asked
of the junior senator.
We'll, now, come to think about II l
don't recall that we really old any
thing. The appropriation bills were
passed and the ship purchase Dill was

ought to have ended the session With

ton. There is need of something De-

form it was presented would never
have done at all. But tho ocean
carriers have put up their rates III
some cases as high as LOO per cent.
Now Well admit that conditions are

such exorbitant rates.

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 alkaii. TINS
dries the scalp: makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain Inuisifniot, coccaH"t Gil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this cant possibly intu-e the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mlllsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.
