Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1l<ali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. 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 few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonfu1 is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle OF dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Nor has the change in the weather
been indicated in the weathercock of
fashion alone. The walk of the aver

SOCIETY KICKS ON TELEPHONE
SERWCE-SO DO WE
Chicago's high caflutin society
crew is peeved. Muchly So And all
because of the rotten telephone serv-
ice recently. John Garner, commits
sioner of public service, reports that
complaints on rotten service have in
creased 50lper cent during the cold
spell. And most kicks have come
from society people.
1t would seem to loom up like this.
Our society bellies, as we all know, at
tend the opera with regularity. That
is, they do when the weather per
mits. But, mercy me, they can't go
out into the cold damp air, when
slush and slop prevail, in their ia
shion gowns. 1t is too blamed easy
to catch pneumonia when dressed in
society style. And that is very true,
even though the society bellies only
strut from their front doors to their
limos and from said limos to the the
aer seats. ~
Hence and therefore, society has
been canceling theater seats lately.
They have also been canceling after
noon tea dates and other dates. None
of your business. And there the
hitch comes in. Not on the dates.
but on the fact that they haven't
been able to get phone calls to the
theaters, etc. go ....
by jove, we are perfectly paying
our telephone bills, va know, and we
must have attention on the WAR"
That's what society thinks about it
and society has raised a kick.
Incidentally; society is not the only
class that has kick coming. Service
is punk all over. Garner promises
to get afte rthe company. But, may
be, now that society has howled, the
company will get busy anyway.

FAHERTY CAN'T SEE ARNOLD'S
PLAN ON SUBWAY QUESTION

TLHN YIN OOoNHi SOGO !OsS
Michael Faherty, president of the
board of local Improvements, round
ly scored the scheme to spend $780,
900 or more to plan a subway for
Chicago and called Bion ]. Arnold
a "joke."
Arnold is the local engineer who
with two others would get 100000
each for serving on the committee,
and would, besides, be given almost
unlimited liberty in spending money
for hiring assistant engineers and
an office full of clerks.
"How long do the people intend to
continue paying out good money to
this man Arnold?" asked Faherty,
who is considered by many to know
as much about Chicago's transporta-
ton needs as anybody. Arnold, ac-
cording to Aid. Watson, has been
paid $685., 900 in past thirteen years
by the city and traction companies.
arnold knows as much about
subway plans and subway needs for
Chicago as he will ever know" con-
tinued Faherty. "Since 1902 he has
been paid money 10 study IneSe prop
lens and find an answer. If he ever
gets an answer he has it now, and,
as the city has paid him well already,
why should it pay him another $780,
900 to tell what he has learned while
being paid for learning.
81 can understand corporation
spending money to dupe people, but
| cannot understand the people
spending money to dupe them
selves"
Faherty insisted that following
out of plan that Arnold seemed to
favor would probably mean the loss
of millions of dolalrs without the
remedying of transportation evils.
He referred to Arnold's connections
with traction interests and said that
the present plan, if carried through,
