CARELESS USE OF
SOAP SPO1IS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, II you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most SOAPS
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins II.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and grease
less) and is better than the most
expensive soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply molsten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. II
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dies 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 cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family

SANTA MARTA, Colombia,
June 21.-It did not take the
Spanish conquerors of Colombia
long to find out that there were
emeralds there.
Among the captured treasures
wer many of these gems which
were sent to Spain and for a long
time were called Spanish eme--
aids.
The tradition has it that Cortez
separated from it's owner one that
was valued at $4,000.
Then of course the Spanish
hunted for the source Of supply,
then opened up the mines in
1910, making the Indians do the
work as slaves. Today, nearly all
the emeralds sold come from Co.
lombia.
DO YOU know that the emerald
is really the most precious of
gems? An authority says that
lin the jewelry market, carat Tor
carat, a flawless emerald would
bring perhaps three times as
much as a flawless diamond. )"
Certainly the history of this gem
shows that 1t was valued highly
from very ancient times.
Cleopatra, Nero, and other in
teresting individuals treasured
the emerald.
Emeralds are also found in
Austria, Siberia and India. Those
of India are not the same as the
Colombian emeralds; they are n
variety of the ruby, green and
very rare; while the Colombian
emerald belongs to the beryl
family.
The richest fields in Colombia
were found in the region about

The dye lasts until the
horses begin shedding hair;
then it must be renewed. But
It's simple operation, and
the animal can be dyed and

he gets a second coat, to give
him more even color.

The above article is reproduced from the Seattle Star, dry" paper. As the state of Washington only voted for prohibition by 1S,000 major ity, opponents of the Anti Saloon League declare that citizens are dis satisfied with their brief experience in sumptuary legislation and will vote wet" at the first opportunity.
 Washington state officially became there has been a shocking increase in drunkenness and crime.
 Another story from the Seattle Star says:
 Express shipments show more than one third increase over February.
 "Violators continue to tri6e with the prohibition law and pay penalty"
 Law Is Joke.
 Investigation of conditions in Seat tie after three months of prohibition develops two facts The map of the business section has been changed as completely as that of Europe will be altered after the war, and what is considered the most air tight" anti liquor law in operation has proved in- adequate to stem the ever increasing flow of sprituous beverages.
 March was a blustery month for the prohibitionists.
 Not only did drunkenness increase over the previous month, hut it ex- ceeded the two previous months, and more than doubled the February rec- ord.
 The squad of tipplers who found their way into the police station dur ing March numbered 294. During February the number was TIT, and during January only 94.
 The record for March, as matter of fact, is only 66 lower than that of the same month year ago.

 Drunkenness in Seattle is becoming almost as common as it was before the state went dry.
 'The people of this state voted for the prohibition law, it is not the square thing to wink at this open violation of the law 1t is n-Ameri- can and unprincipled. 1t is detrimental to public peace and to private busi ness. It serves to keep up an agita ton over the booze question that should be, by this time, definitely and forevermore settled.

Two special details of police have been working constantly trying to ,n 1 fsi ec ihe law. Prosecutions have fai'ed | in but few instances. The records in the auditors office at the courthouse show that n Jal- uary, 2,117 permits to ship liquor into | the state were issued. In February the number increased to 4,269, and in March to 6,250. Beer Shipments Increase. March beer shipments into the state increased over February by more than 10000 quarts, but orders for other liquors decreased somewhat. Orders range as follows for March: Beer, 33,213 quarts; whisl<ies, 6,SO9 quarts; rum, 2S brandy, 139; alcohol, 169; sin, 59. vermouth, 13, and wines, 233 quarts.

 Charles l.. Rockingham, former county commissioner, was named by Mayor Gill Tuesday noon to succeed Chief of Police Louis NJ. Lang, whose in letter written earlier in the day"
 Mayor Gill made the following state ment:
 "Mr. Rockingham is thoroughly fa- miliar with the liquor situation in Se- attle and I believe he can help me clear up that problem"
 "The one thing l think the police department ought to do is to stop bootlegging in Seattle" Charles Beck ingham said after his appointment as chief.
 Every man, woman and child in the city knows that it is a simple matter to get liquor. I think something can surely be done by the police depart ment to stop the illegal trade. The drug stores ought not to get away with the stuff they are pulling now"
 Donald B. Olson, superintendent of the Monroe state reformatory was of fered the position Monday afternoon, but did not accept it.
