1t is true of lights and ideals that the

name caught his eye-John Dorr.
AT that very moment the motor stage
chugged slowly into camp, and a tall.
heavily built man swung down into
the street, suit case in hand. He look

saw the opening Of a mine upon the

also perceived that the stamp mill was

Ruth looked at him critically. He
was nothing like the men she was

fairly breathed soap and water. and
his very apparent strength glowed be-

"Tll call father" she said. but she

brought the blood to John DORIS face.
He realized that this was q moment

The prosecution against Frank
Ryder for operating car for several
months withoH an Iowa license or
number, which was begun Monday by
County Attorney Scott, vas completed
at least temporarily in Justice Burritts
court Tuesday afternoon when Ryder
agreed to settle. After a conference
with the county attorney. Ryder APP
peared in Justice Burr!tt's court and
agreed to pay the last half of the 1919
Iowa auto tax, of sS.16, also the 1915
tax, 1852 and the costs, the latter
s235 which he paid to the justice. The
money for the 1915 tax Ryder said he
had sent to Des Moines but II had been
returned to him because he had not
paid the 1914 tax. He forwarded to
Des Moines Tuesday the money for
both taxes. and the case was dis
missed. AS II develops it leaves Ryder
in the position Of having paid two
taxes for operating his car the last few
months Of 1914. He first paid one in
Michigan and is now compelled to pay

SOAP is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly. if at ALL if you want to keep
your hair looking best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), 1s
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls VIII
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub II in. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily. removing
every particle Of dust. dirt dandrun
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy and
easy TO manage.
You can get mulsif1ed cocoanut
oil a. any pharmacy. and a few
ounces will supply every member OF
the family for months.
