DON'T LET SOAP
SPOIL YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali, which is very in
furious. as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just
plain mulsified cocoanut OIL, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t In, about a tea
spoonful 10 all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking. bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy TO handle.
Besides. 1t loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Simply this. Miss Leslie, being
perfectly rational, says that Meth

at all. They were both shot by an

How Thin People
Can Put On Flesh

Thin men and women - that
big, hearty, filling dinner you ate
last night. What became of all
the fat-producing nourishment it
contained? You haven't gained
in weight one ounce. That food
passed from your body like un-
burned coal through an open
crate. The material was there, but
your food doesn't work and stick,
and the plain truth is you hardly
get enough nourishment from
your meals to pay for the cost of
cooking. This is true of thin folks
the world over. Your nutritive
organs, your functions of assimi-
lation, are probably sadly out of
gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and
funny sawdust diets. Cut out ev-
erything but the meals you are
eating and eat with every one of
those a single Sargol tablet. In
two weeks note the difference.
Let the scales be the Judge. Five
to eight good solid pounds of
healthy, "stay-there" fat may be
the net result. Sargol aims to
charge weak, stagnant blood with
millions of fresh new red blood
corpuscles-to give the blood the
carrying power to deliver every
ounce of fat-making material in
your food to every part of your
body. Sargol, too, mixes with
your food, to prepare 1t for the
blood in an easily assimilated
form. Thin people tell how they
have gained all the way from 10
to 20 pounds month while taxi
ing Sargol and say that the new
flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are a careful combination of six
of the best assimilative elements
known to chemistry. They come
40 tablets to a package, are pleas
ant, harmless and inexpensive,
and Grown Drug Co., 1882 Pa
cific ave. and all other good drug
gists in this vicinity sell them

II can. When looked into

a minute after that l was up

DR.. Sheldon was called next.
and testified that he had, on
reaching the library, found Philip
Maxwell's dead body on the floor,
and Miss Leslie few feet away.
"She was shot?" asked the cor
oner.
Yes. shot in the shoulder. She
had fallen, and in so doing had
hit her temple. This rendered
| her unconscious. | extracted the
ball, and found it to be .3S cal
ibre. The revolver found In Miss
Leslie's hand Is also .3S calibre."
And has the ball been extract
ed from Mr.. Philip Maxwell's
dead body?"
Yes; that is also .3S calibre.
He was shot through the heart,
and must have died instantly"
I'm your opinion, how long had
he been dead, when you examined
/ the body?"
! mot long, as the body was still
warm. Not more than half an hour
at the most"
"The pistol found in Miss Les
lies hand, and which is now in
my possession" said Mr.. Billings,
has two empty chambers. In
view of Miss Leslie's statement
that the shooting was done by
person who came in by the
window, it would seem that the
in truder might have placed the
weapon in Miss Leslie's hand aft
or she was wounded. In your
opinion, DR.. Sheldon, would this
be possible?"
Possible, yes, but highly i'm
probable, as l myself took the pis-
toll from her hand, and she was
holding 1t In tight grasp. This
would scarcely have been the case
had 1t been thrust into her hand
while she lay unconscious"
I'VE will not pursue this line
of investigation further. until we
can hear Miss Leslie's story
said Mr.. Billings. DIR. Sheldon,
you are excused"
Mr.. Maxwlel's testimony was
merely to the effect that he had
spent the evening in the drawing
room until about $50, at which
time he went to his study, and re-
manned there, reading and occa-
sionally doing, until he had been
told the dreadful news.
He corroborated my statement
about my looking in on him,
though he didn't notice the time,
and he said that he neither saw
nor heard Gilbert Crane look in
/ later.
Asked II he heard any shots, he
said he did not, owing, doubtless,
to his deafness, and the fact that
he was asleep part of the time.
He was excused, and Billings
then inquired If any one had
heard any shots.
We who were in the drawing
room during the half-hour be-
tween 10 and 1920 (when the
murder was judged to have taken
place. declared we heard no
shots; and this was but natural,
as the library was upstairs and
the music was, at that time, of a
noisy variety.
Then Miss Maxwell's gentle
voice was heard, saying:
Il heard two shots, and they
were fired at exactly 10 O'clock"
Then Miss Miranda testified
that she was in her own room

OLD STRAWBERRY BEDS
SHOULD Be RENOVATED

AS soon as the picking season is
moved and raked off. The dead
leaves around the crowns should also
be removed and burned. The rows
are generally crowded with plants
in the center and these should be
thinned out and the rest thoroughly
cultivated wi h the hoe. Then the
beds should be given a coating of well
rotted barn yard manure and worked
into the ground and liberal supply
of water applied.
In many cases where the rows are
heavily matted and the you-g plants
have taken root between the rows it
is advisable to plow up the center of
the rows, leaving the younger plants
to form the new row.
Strawberry plants produce the heav-
lest at the first seasons fruiting and
decline very rapidly after that time.
For this reason it is advisable to re-
move the o,d plants and give the
younger ones chance to develop. The
old plants can easily be told from the
young plant by the roots. Old plants
have d rk co'ored roots. Old plants
plants have light colored. Also the
crowns of the cd plants become black
and elongated, while on the Young
plants the crowns are short and light

EEuLHGERING A WHOLE STATE

From the Rocky Mountlin News:
such questionable scnemes as the
so-called herd law being initiated
by petition. are what causes popular
mistrust OF and antagol!sm to direct
legislation'-it can te made SO easily
an instrument Of evil and oppression
n the hands OF unscrupulous agencies
Agitation for the proposed measure
has done srieyo-s harm already and IL
threatens to interfere with immigra-
uon to this state II II Is pc sisted in
and the people tive the agitat on any
announcement. Its adoption in effect
would reduce the live stock industry
by one-haif without a single compcn-
sating advantage. its application
would reduce the grazing area by 5o,-
100000 acres OF natural grIss. The
small farmer would be precluded from
raising any cattle other than what
could be fed on the Iremises. A new
brand OF litIgants and litigious law
yers would be raised. instead OF cattle
with this city as the fermenting and
fomenting center.
The farmer with a few head OF cat
tie would be the one TO suffer; the
cattle baron is no longer In evidence.
Against the herd law" are the farm
ers' oranges. cattle associations, dairy
men. the commercial bodies in Dem
yer and other cities and every live
stock interest in Colorado.
In favor OF the Initiated measure Is
an obscure publication. under doubtful
patronage, with no influence whatever
among the farming population
Why the danger then? Because OF
the thoughtless signers OF petitions
carried about by professional petition
mongers. The proposed law IS repres-
ented as in the interest of the small
farmer and opposed to the land baron.
People are apt TO take tho word OF
plausible canvasser. As n matter OF
plain truth. IL the proposed law would
benefit anyone. It wonld be the land
speculator. who in this way could
force farmers and stock raisers to
buy his acres at his price.
In the meantime the motto is: Mil
Hons for defense and not dollar for
tribute.''
