DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkah,
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 anything
else all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and few ounces Dunes
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair drles quickly ana
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle, Besides, it ioosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Local Manufacturers Will Join With
Others in State Against Chase
Measure Now
Proposed.
INSURANCE TO DOUBLE
This Feature is Very Objectionable in
the Eyes of Manufacturer
Other Features Are
Bad.

Members of the Iowa State Manu-
lfacturers' association in keOkuk held
La meeting last night to talk over the
proposed Chase bill, which has been
put on the senate calendar. A COM
imittee will be appointed from the
keokuk members who will hold them
selves in readiness to go to Des
Moines at the time the bill comes up.
This committee has not yet been ai'-
pointed, as the bill will not come up
for few days.
The Chase bill which is known as
IS. F. 333, provides that the pay of in
jured workmen is increased from so
to 60 per cent of their wages. Com
|pensation begins the day of the injury
liz they are laid up for thirty day,
and the bill would put the medical
expense and doctor in control OF th2
injured.
Besides this, it was brought out II
a letter from George w. Wrightman,
of the state association, to the local
members. that the insurance would
be doubled. This is the worst featur.,
OF the bill. it is stated. 1t is pointed
out by Mr.. Wnghtman that this
would make 1T almost impossible for
some industries, as for instance coal
mines to carry insurance.
Inasmuch as the insurance feature
has already been adjusted under the
present compensation bill, the local
manufacturers do not feel that it is
exactly just proposition to cause
them to make other arrangements,
when only eight months of the present
system has passed.
The bill, it is said, is Clarkson
measure masquerading under Chase's
name. 1t was reported against by a
senate subcommittee, and killed, but
has now appeared on the calendar
Keokuk employers of labor discusse1
ftnis measure at some length last
night, and will be- prepared to send q
committee to Des Moines and also tc
send protests to Senator Frailey
against the bill.

Lee County Official Would be Seri-
ousIy Affected If Bill From
Senate Passes
House.
AFTER EQUALIZATION
Little Change Will be Made in Audi
tors or Sheriffs Salaries
by Proposed
Bill.

If bill which passed the senate
yesterday, passes the house, the treas.
urer Of Lee county will be given big
cut in salary. The treasurers of Lee
and Clinton counties will be the ones
most seriously affected If the bill
goes through tho house, it Is said.
The treasurer Of Lee county now gets
$4,000, and by the new bill he will
get only $2,10O.
The following story Is from q Dss
Moines paper and tells of the attempt
to equalize the salaries Of county off,
GERS:
The senate started upon the task
yesterday morning Of equalizing the
salaries of all county officials in the
state, basing the compensation on the
population Of each county. The
lowest salary will be S1,40o and the
highest $4,000.
BY vote Of 33 to s, a bill fixing
the pay of treasurers, ranging from
81 400 to $1,000 was passed. Senator
Thomas sought to secure the adoption
of an amendment which would reduce
the compensation for the treasurers
in each classification 500. 1t was
voted down. .
-naEsr !;
Sig Changes Likely.
Some big changes will be made II
the bill passes the house. The treas
| urer of Lee county now receives $5.-
COS a year. The new scale will give
him S2,1OO. The treasurer of Clinton
county now gets $4,000. The new sal
airy will be $4,000. .5.
In Polk county the salary Of the
| treasurer was cut from $500 to
$4,000.
In the early discussion of the series
of bills to equalize the salaries OF
county officers, the senate went on
record as favorable to relieving the
cities and towns of the state Of the
payment of three-fourts Of one pei
cont for the collection by the county
OF city taxes. An amendment which
would preserve in the new law the
provisions by which the city must
pay the county for the collection OF
city taxes was killed.
