III you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash il 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 co.
coanut oil (wnich is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can Z possibly injure the hair.
SIMPLY moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The latner rinses out easi.
~. and removes every particle of dust,
dirt dsndruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and It
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family .or months.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp viii stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

A well known society matron whose

complexion chiefly to two things. She
says:

tend to age the complexion. Mereol-
lied wax has just the opposite effect
1t keeps the pores clean, permitting
them to breathe, and removes dead par

;zed workers shall be called out.
Charaeterizing sympathetic strike
as "arossly violative OF the laws, "
Mavor Mitchell has warned the labor
leaders that he will use all of the "mlll-
tia and civil power vested IN the may
or" to cope with such situation;
Backed by Samuel Gompers, labor
leaders stoutly maintain that they will
stick by their fight for the right TO
organize and claim that the struggle is
ON trade unionism and is vital to the
welfare of all organized labor.
Gompers. in conference with Mayor
Mitchell gave unmistkable evidence
that he will support the local leaders IN
whatever action they decide to follow.
While the consideration of general
strike was under way, it was learned
that many labor leaders suggest gen
eral boycott on street railways as a
more effective weapon. The plan Oh
these leaders is to order all union men
TO stay away from their work untii
"proper transportation" is PROVIDED.
They maintain that this will be more
peaceful and effective method OF set
fling the difficulties than a general
strike.
Commission Gets In.
The state industrial commission had
entered the fight and exercising its
legal rights has issued subpoenas for the
traction officials and strike leaders to
appear before it on Monday. The ou'
reau of mediation of the industrial COM
mission will argue the adoption OF a
compromise and will use its powers to
the fullest extent to enforce the COM
promise which provides for the imme-
date calling off of the strike by labor
leaders; the unemployment of strik-
ers by traction lines; the reduction OF
the time of operation of the INTERIOR
ough s individual contracts from TWO
years to one year.
Meanwhile normal operation OF the
subway and elevated lines has been
maintained. Intermittent disorders in
various parts of the city kept the pulse
busy during the night and early morn
ing: but no serious disorders were re-
ported. Partial night service on cross
town lines was attempted for the first
time with heavy police details.
Undaunted by the warning of the
mavor. Hugh Frayne, state organizer
of the American Federation of Labor
said today: :,
.sTrade unionists will not surrender
their rights to organize in this city,
This was Frayne's parting shot as he
went into the conference which VIII
decide whether general strike will be
called.
ssWe have made no threats of disor-
der,' Frayne said, "and we cannot be
held responsible for disorder. We have
advised against it and shall 50 con
time to advise
