1t Ruins Hair TO
Wash 1t With Soap

Soap should be used very sparingly
if at all, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain TOO much al
kali This dries the scalp makes the
hair brittle and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless) and is
better than soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. Il makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather. which rinses
out easily, removing every particle
of dust. dirt. dandruff. and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
" and it leaves the scalp soft. and
the hair fine and silky, bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil

Ambassador last night from Ottawa sets
forth that Van Horne is gut ty of a
felony for having attempted to destroy

ment on the case, pending the receipt
of the application for extradition. At,
the State Department IL was said that
under existing extradition treaties with
Great Britain this Government could not
refuse the request of the Canadian au-
thorities.
The department will investigate the
various phases OF the case, including Van
HOrne's record. II the prisoner presents
a formal claim OF immunity from eX,ra
dItion on the ground that he has com
mitted an "act OF war" the German Gov
eminent will be asked to inform the de-
partment as to the mans status. AT the
German Embassy today It was said that
nothing was known there concerning him.

was explained hat II It could be proved
that Van Horne's offense was OF a politi-
cal nature he would be prosecuted for

SAYS RAILROAD SITUATION
Is STEADILY IMPROVING
President of Lehigh Valley Declares
Higher Rates Have Helped. q

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-The railroad
situation in the United States Is showing
steady improvement, according to Presi-
dent E. b. Thomas, Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, who conferred with President
Wilson today.
Mr.. Thomas declared that the tonnage
of the Lehigh Valley road has shown a
decided Increase in the transportation of
grains and cereals to the seaboard, but
that otherwise tonnage was stationary.
lie said the 5 per cent. increase in freight
rates recently granted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission had been OF de-
cided benefit to the eastern railroads.
He asserted that the pending Adamson
bill in the House making more rigid the
commodities clause of the Hepburn act
would be harmful to all the coaEcarrying
roads, including the Delaware and Lack
awanna, the Jersey Central and the Lee
high Valley.
What the railroads of the country
need above everything else is less regu-
lation," said Mr.. Thomas. when you
realize hat the Lehigh Valley alone
made 5000 different reports during 1914
TO the various commissions which eXer-
else regulation over It, you can see what
excessive supervision e a to u.s."
