Jones was willing to allow SCOTS
stenographer to stay and to hire an
other for the clerks office.
Scott says his stenographer was re-
moved from office without his knowl-
edge The reason for this action, it is
learned, was because state checkers
of county accounts told the supervisors
that the law did not give the super
visors authority to employ a stenog-
rapher for the county attorney. Super
visor Jones says the board has full

pher Scott said today that If the board
did not make arrangements at its juno
meeting to allow him a stenographer
that he would move his office to the
Masonic Temple, where he will have
the services of stenographer en-
ployed by the firm with which he will
be associated.
Clerk of Courts Reilly went to the
board with request for a second
stenosrapher to be employed late in
the summer when court work begins
to pile up. The majority members Of
the board We're not inclined to allow
this additional help and, it is said, sug-
gested that the clerk perhaps had as
much help as he needed. Without
waiting for further action Reilly laid
the matter before Judge Cummings,
who entered an order directing the
clerk to hire an additional stenographer
for such time as needed

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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces.
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
Iather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides. 1t
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
(t must be the mulsified) at any
pharmacy, and few ounces Will
supply every one in the family for
months.
