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 it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats Fps 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

Marie DRESSER at Hip.

Marie DRESSER is as funny in her
way as Chaplin is in his. She flts into

the audience the cause of Titles Huc-

of the romance.
The action of "Tillie's Punctured
Romance" is dotted with typical Key
stone touches and the usual Keystone
whirlwind is not lacking in the finish,
only this is just little more or a
whirlwind than the usual finish ever
pretended to be. 1t almost becomes

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Il
 Turkish and British reports of sstf1e land operations in the Darda- nelIes region again are in direct conflict. From the Turkish. version it would appear that the Anglo French land invasion has resulted in disaster for the allies.
 Further claims to victories are made in an official report from Constantinop1e today. It is said the forces which landed near Kabe Tepeh were forced back along the whole front with heavy loses, four, brigades being driven into the sea and others surrender ing. One transport is said to have bn sunk.
 British official reports give no hint of a defeat. The latest state ,naeat from I london says the land forces have succeeded in establish ing a line across the Gallipoli pen ninsula on the European side of the straits, and are advancing steadily An unofficial despatch from Athens states that the allies were victorious in a battle on theN west side of the pennisu1a, infItcc- ing serious losses on the Turks / and capturing one battalion.
