KENTUCKY VOTES TO

Constitutional Amendment 70 Permit
Prt-ouers Outside Prison Walls

The voters Of Kentucky in The recent

Jority the constitutional amendment
permitting state prisoners to work out
side the prison walls.
Since 1891 Kentucky statutes have
forbidden the taking OF prisoners out
side the prison walls. the law having
resulted from abuses which followed
their employment by railroads and
other private corporations. Two years
ago an amendment TO remove this ban
was carried by "A large majority. but

CHICAGO. December 1.-The public
.s in wheat and on the bull side. This
fact was clearly demonstrated to-day
when December was bid up fron
sl.lO l-2 to S1.l65-S. showing a net
gain Of l-Sc for the day. That month
was taken largely by shorts. but the
May was absorbed by investors who
bid up from $l.l2l s to $l.l6 IA. cl"s-
ing at Sl.l61-S. There were only small
cash sales of wheat here, ni!lers taxi
ing $4,000 bushels. and the sales At
the seaboard were exceptionally small.
Those in the market who have been
playing for lower prices for wheat in
order TO cover their outstanding con-
tracts and secure profits, were greatly
disappointed by the action of this
grain. In additions TO the Buying by
shorty and investors there was enor-
nous buying against 'prir;leSes" Of
the weekly description. Every big
house in the Chicago market was in
and out of wheat on the buying and
selling side.
The deliveries Of wheat off me farms
and out of country elevators in both
great belts was on large scale last
week. The total receipts at primary
markets footed up l9.0sl 900 bushels
compared with l2.337.0O0 bushels for
a like period last year.
Sentiment on wheat after the close
tonight was decidedly buliish, and
many in the trade believe that In the
face OF Il further increase in the Wis
iblc supply Monday prices will again
sell higher. Buying orders were re-
ceivcd here to-day from Western Can
ada as well as from Liverpool, and
there was hardly Il market in the
United States that did not send buy
ing orders for the May future at Chi
cago.
The bull crowd in corn came to the
rescue of that cereal and bought free
" around the bottom prices. causing
sharp reactions and advances, with net
gains for the day of 3-Sc. The pres
ent weather Is all that could be asked
for finishing. Smelling and moving this
crop. and the receipts as well as stocks
are expected to further increase.

The freckling, discoloring or

SOAP is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very
sparingly, If at all, II you want
to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepar-
ed shampoos contain too much
alkali. 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), is cheaper
and better than soap or any
thing 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. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. which
rinses out easily, removing ev-
cry particle of dust, dirt, dand-
ruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly,
and It leaves the scalp soft,
and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at any pharmacy, and
a few ounces will supply ev-
cry member Of the family for
months.
