"THE RAGGED MESSENGER"

Walker Whiteside will return to the
Oliver this evening with a play that
shows him again i'm his own person,
and in a part that gives full play to
the magnetism of his personality. The
new play, 1.-The Ragged Messenger"
has scored a success at the Princess
theater in Chicago.
In THE Ragged Messenger Mr..
Whiteside is seen as John Morton. a
dreamer of dreams, whose mind
dwells on plans to alleviate the suf-
fering and poverty which Cypress the
poor Of London. Through the death
of a remote relative he suddenly in
herits a vast fortune. Immediately
the world becomes u changed place

even the true aristOcrats are ready
to pay him court The poor fawn
on him. Through his money he gains
the joy OF a great love, and through
it his love proves a curse and not a
blessing. But in the end he and the
woman who has won hi- devotion find
new happiness and life opens UP to
them more gloriously than in the
days when the mountain of gold was
magically placed at their feet
No play in his whole career has
given Mr.. Whiteside finer opportu-
mites than The Ragged Messenger"
And the company which has been
chosen TO support him is worthy 10

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hairin good
condition, the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
Ehampooing, as this cant possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsfied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months
