Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

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 allali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsihed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff 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 mulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. Itsis very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Man Who Is Working for Electric
Line Between keokuk, Nauvoo
and Fort Madison Ready
For Work.
GUARANTEE OF $4,000
Amount viii be Posted as Soon as
$4,000 Worth Of Stock Is
Sold In This Com
munity.

According to a dispatch from Maui
WOO, C. HI. Petsch Of New York City,
promoter of the Keokuk, Nauyoo and
Fort Madison railway company, spent
the early part Of the week in Maui
WOO and vicinity and furthered the
matter materially, reiterating that he
will post guarantee Of $4,000 for
fulfillment OF contract as soon as the
$4,000 worth of stock is subscribed
in this region, the remainder of the
funds to be forthcoming in the east.
The dispatch is as follows: Pro-
motor Petsch Of st. Paul, Mimi, and
H. S. Payne Of Fort Madison, were
Nauvoo visitors this week on bust
ness connected with the Fort Madi-
n-Nauvoo interurban, which they
are promoting. 1t is reported that
MIR. Payne will start out this week
commencing at the Niota end and
working this way.
Mr. Petsch will have the $4,000
forfeiture ready to place in Nauvoo
banks as soon as he is ready to start
soliciting for stock subscriptions. He
reported that If the owners of the
right of way will be liberal and the
$4,000 stock subscriptions secured,
that cars would be running into Maui
VOC by November LIST next If he did
not succeed by that time. it would
never be built.
Madison Comment.
The Fort Madison Democrat COM
ments as follows on the matter:
Money for railroad development Is
srarce this year, more SO than for
many years, but Notwithstanding
Mr.. Petsch can secure the amount
above the $4,000 necessary to build
the ten miles Of line. The $4,000
worth Of stock that he insists on be-
ing sold in this district is to con-
vince the financiers in the east that
the matter has been received here
with favor and that the people of the
region have enough faith in the ven-
ture to invest. Fort Madison stands
to benefit to a considerable extent
as does Nauvoo and the intervening
country. Nauvoo will be linked with
the world in winter as well as sum-
mer by the building Of such a sys-
tenn and as such should appreciate it
to the fullest extent. Fort Madison
and local citizens will be enabled to
make their trips to Nauvoo as fire.
quently as the desire assails them.
The freight traffic would be an i'm
portant item and cars would be
handled by the line and transferred
to the Santa Fe in most instances at
Niota.
The matter has progressed to the
stage where H. s. Payne of Fort
Madison, who has been associated
with Mr.. Petsch in the company, will
start at once to buy the right of way
between Niota and Nauvoo and sell
the stock. In time the line which at
first would extend from Fort Madison
to Nauvoo, would run to Carthage and
Keokuk.
Mr.. Petsch stated that with the
success of Mr.. Payne's efforts in the
next month the line would be COM
pleted and cars would be running by
the first of November.
