AUSTRIAN naval
BASE IS BEIN G
B0mbARDED BY
ALLIED SHIPS

Copenhagen, Dec. 31.-Via London,
11.45 A. MA private despatch re-
ceived here from Berlin says that over
80 French and British warships are
at present engaged in bombarding
Pola, the Austrian naval base on the
Adratic and also the seaport Of
Rovigno, about is miles away.
There is reason to expect naval ag-
gression on the part Of the allies at
Pola, recent reports having indicated
ago a French submarine went into the
harbor Of Palo, but did not return.
A dispatch received in London last
night described how another submarine
had been successful in torpedoing the
Austrian dreadnaught Viribus Units,
and other messages have indicated that
an Anglo-French attack would not
come as q surprise.

Lee County Supervisors Improve the
Sheriff's House and Make it
Valuable Piece Of
Property.
COST IS VERY LITTLE
Property is Improved Both In Value
and Looks and Will Last
for a Long
Time.

The board of supervisors Of Lea
county, has been able, with a small
expenditure Of money, to make prac-
tically new house out of the sheriff S
house on Concert street. The house
was changed in it's style of architecture
Ito bungalow. A coat of stucco was
|applied to the bricks, thus preserving
the house, and the interior has been
Iredecorated, and reinished. A ne"
porch has been added and there were
minor repairs made.
All Of this has been done at the
cost of about $1,000. The result is that
Lee county now has a suitable she :
ifs residence, and that house
which would not have rented for
more than SO per month before this.
is made into a house, which would
easily bring rent of $25 per month
The sheriff's house as it was before
the remodeling, was not as desirable
as might be, and the board found that
to build new one would cost $1,000
to $4,000. Taking the stucco idea from
Iowa City, it was decided that with a
normal expenditure of money the
house could be made most desirable
one. All of the changes have been
made, and the house has been great
ly improved both inside and out, and
adds greatly to the county.s property,
and to the neighborhood
Although there has been some crit.
icism of the board for this move. it is
quite generally felt that they practic-
ed real economy, and that the house
will last for number Of years, and
is something that is really needed.
Keokuk is about the only county seat
in the state which did not have Il
suitable residence for its sheriff.

SOAP is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and getter than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly
Simply noisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months.

the proper course to pursue is for

the federal law-thcn there wilr be-
neither confusion nor any use for

have been done by the last Legislators
