DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

" neu YOU wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and pre-.
pared shampoos contain too much
tlkali 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. Its
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole fami-
ly for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lathei, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft.
Trcsh looking, bright, 1uify. wayy.
and easy to handle. Besides. it
looscns and takes out every particle
OF dust, dirt and dandrutf.

EAGER TO
CONC|L|ATE AMERICA
Ambassador Spring-Rice Issues
Statement Pointing Way to
Avoid Cargo Seizures.

On the even of the distpach by the
British government of it's preliminary
reply to the American note Of protest.
English authorities are giving an
earnest indication of their desire to
conciliate the United States with re-
spect to complaints against trade in
reference. Although the reply itself
Is not expected to reach Washington
until late today or tomorrow, ar
rangements are being rapidly con.
cluded by Great Britain to remove all
unnecessary restrictions against trade
between the United States and the
neutral nations of Europe.
Statements issued by the State De-
partment and the British embassy
show that these arrangements have
progressed to a considerable degree
respecting shipments to Holland ant
Italy, the inference being that Grea
Britain is now convinced that tht
danger of contraband articles neglig
ible.
The Washington times., 1915-01-08
May Ignore Fears.

Consequently, as explained by Sir
Arthur Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador. in a formal statement 70
the press. it will be possible for Amer
ican shippers to trade with Holland
and Italy without fear of cargo seiz-
ures, provided they comply with GER
tain requirements. These requirements
were thus set forth by the ambas-
sador:
shipments. for Italy, in Italian
steamers. of goods placed on the en-
barge list Of the Italian government
and consigned to named persons are
free.
ARTICLES for Holland. apart from
copper, petroleum. and grain (except
rice and corn. which must be consigned
| be consigned to the Netherlands Over
| seas Trust to insure non-interferen'c.
with regard to purchase Of cargoes
| the British government has purchased
many cargoes OF copper. and has no
yet condemned or confiscated any neu
trail cargo or consignment, although
| sUmC are nv aiting adJu liz ION.
While the State Department is in

British ambassador lays stress on tn
| fact that comparatively few cargoe
nave been actually condemned or con
fiscated. the American note contend
that the mere detention of othe
cargoes, without sufficient evidence tha
they are contraband. has served to de
moralize American trade
Position Not Abandoned.
Moreover. whereas England seems t
be getting back to the once abaclone
understanding that there should be n
interference with cargoes consigned I
