little overflow from brook at the side
of the road, if not attended to imme-

could be saved which would be OF

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aIkaH.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mu1sified e,coanut oil (which
is pure and greaseIess), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use
One or two tablespOOnfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly
Simply moisren the hair with water
and rub it in. It MAKES an abundance
of rich, creamy Iather. which rinses
out easily, removing every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive OIL
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky, bright, Iusrrous, fluffy
and easy to manage
You can get muIsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adver-

New York. May 31-An appeal to
two million American cIubwomen to
help take the postoffice department
out of politics was made by the civil

Dana of Boston, before today'S session
of the Federal Women's clubs nation

Dana declared the political appoint

most inefficient in the world
The remedy Dana suggested was TO
put every postal service job. from the
four assistant postmaster generaIships
down to the Iowliest carrier of a rural
route, on competitive examination
basis under strict civil service rules
The speaker asserted that more
than 90 per cent of all postmasterships
paying 1000 a year or more are
changed with every national admins

assistants jobs in Washington some
times are changed twice in an admin
