USE coCoANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR
!; = & 4 :. !. x 4 x * * & 4 4

If YOU want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified Goa
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
cant possibly .niure the hair.
Simply moisten your hain with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair ana scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenlySand it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drugstore. 1t is very cheap,
and few ouncse is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

This entire article is such an eXager-
alton of facts that it is hardly worth
considering by those who are informed
on the subject. But, because it is pub
lished in a non-socialist paper and read
by those not informed, deem it proper
to ask small space for brief reply.
| wish first TO inform your readers
tnlt the management of the socialist
party was never in the hands Of Sec
retary f.. l.. Cannon, or any other Sec
retary. The party annually elects an
executive committee of five who have
the entire business management of tae
party And the secretary is only eml-
plOyed to do the corresponding and
clerical work under the direction Of
such committee, and rules laid down by
our party constitution. The state sec
retary is not even an eX-officiO mem-
Der Of the executive committee.
1t is true that the party has some in
debtedness, but the amount was eXag
Grated. Also the writer failed to even
mention that the party has assets.
! believe it might be well to mention
what is generally conceded to be some
of tine causes of the party Indebtedness.
In the first place it should be borne in
mind that the socialist party is made
up, principally, of working men and
women. And, because Of the fact that
the interests of the capitalist employer
and those of the worker are not identi-
cal. but rather and generally opposed
to each other, we have no capitalists or
corporations making large donations to
the socialist party funds, as is too often
true with the Old capitalist parties. We
have to depend on monthly dues from
the workers themselves. This neces-
sarily causes hard financial struggle
for the party in times when there are
thousands out of employment. And al
so. incidentally, we have other con-
tributing causes For instance, we have
capitalist employers becoming members
of the party and not becoming real so.

case was experienced right here in Sl.
