NEW YORK, May 12.-Here

Taft, at Union club, Philadel-

COCPANUT OIL FINE
 FOR WASHING HAlR

If yCu want to keep your halr in good condition, the less soap you use the better.
 Most soaps and prepared sham pCos contain toe much alkaH. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this cant possibly iniure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and hub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund- ance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The father rinses Out easily, and removes every paftl- Gle of dust, dirt, dandruff and eX- cessive oil. The hair dries quick ly and evenly, and it leaves il fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut Gil at most any drug store. 1t IS very cheap, and q few ounces IS enough to last everyone In the family for months.

From other sources, how2 yer, il was learned thai as soon as Mr. Sims found out the true condition or the bank, instead of appointing 2 special agent, as has bt ell the usual course in such affairs in tn9 past, ne st about making arrang1 ments with men of means to protect the credit ors and dtpositors.
 Not until he had arranged for everyone to be taken care Of did he announce his plans and that he had arranged for the bank to go into voluntary liquidation, thereby obvl- ating the usual expenses contingent on liquidation in the usual way.
 This seems 'to be good, practical plan of lquidating an insolvent bank; plan that might be followed in other states-even in Arkansas. One objection to the plan, from the standpoint of these who find good juicy financial plums oil the bank examiners department tree, is that such a plan doesn't add to their in come, though it protects the deposit tors and saves money for the banks steckh olders.

GOOD ROAD TO THE FREE
 ENlE'GE.

County Judge c. lM. Philpot is talk ing the lead in the move ment to build a road from, the Jefferson county free bride to Pine Bluff, while at the same time continuing work on his plan for network of good roads in that part of the coun- ly north of the river.
 Judge Philpot has instructed the county engineers to prepare estl- mates of the cost of the proposed read from the bridge, and when this is done, steps toward forming an inn rroyement district will be taken. Ac- earding to the county judges plan, rroDerty taxed for the dollarWay road will be exempted from the pro Icsed new district, the purpose being to have a part of the cost borne by Pine Bluff people who will derive direct benefit from the addi- tjcnal trade resulting from this con nc,ction with a new field. The new read will be cleared and graded by the county, and Judge Phllpot lnol- oates a willingness to further assls' from the road fund, providing the p.oper cooperation is displayed.
 Pine Bluff needs this road; lhe .people north of the bridge need thls road. It will be of practical adVaht- ago and direct benefit to both. TAe bridge is already being used 10 all extent that is surprising even those who advocated US building m the face of determined opposition.

GOVERNOR HARRIS AND THE
 FRANK CASE.

Governor elect Harris of Georgia is quoted as saying he will not con- sider in connection with the Leo M. Frank case petitions or appeals for clemency from outside tho state; that it is a matter that concerns Georgia alone, and that he will reach his conclusions thinking only Of Georgia and the interests of her peo- pie.
 Governor Harris is only partly right. The Frank case concerns not only the entire country, but the en- tire American plan of administering justice. Further, it concerns all hu- manity. If Frank is executed, and later it is proved that he was in- nocent, not only will Georgia suffer but the ,Alnerican court system, as well. For what happens in Georgia could happen as we'll in some other state. And humanity demands that nCMC Sldll Dc put tO uSdth o. AN'>S' until he is proved guilty beyond per adventure of doubt of crime meritins capital punishment.
 Frank may be guilty Of the mur- der of Mary Phagan, but the state
 nae failed to prove it beyond al doubt. There appears to be as mucf evidence against Jim Conley, thS negro. as there is against FranK. Governor Harris can ignore the petitions from outside Georgia; nc
 can contemptuously reject the pleas from those governors who have cas- precedent aside in their anxiety t( avoid a blct on the American schem'
 of administering justice; he can de eide that Frank has had fair pla!

@.Es, Nuts as Food.

Nuts form very concentrated form of food, in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used they are readily digested and form a part of a well-balanced ration. Nuts are plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of a considerable quantity of walnuts, butternuts. and hickory nuts be a valuable addition to the households supply of provisions?
