Quick Return.

1t was a hard worked staff that
served under General Kitchener in In
dia, and it wasn't often that its men,
bers had time for a good. hearty
chuckle. But once in long time the
war office slipped one over on the chief
by sending the son Of an earl or duke
or some other high parsonage to serve
as an addition to his staff. Such men.
unless they had proved themselves
first, never got there if Kitchener
heard anything about it beforehand.
One young officer arrived and reported.
Kitchener looked him over and asked
coldly, do you know when the next
steamer sails for England?"
81 haven't looked it up. SIR" was the
answer.
"You look it up-you sail on that
steamer said Kitchener In dry
voice Good day. sir"

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfEls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lathcr, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily and removes ev-
cry 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 mulsitied cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It 80 very cheap, and
a few ounces is enough to last every family
for months.

SLOAN MAKES HIT

Nebraska Congressman's Talk
Upon Ericsson May Become
Public Document.
LoBEcK MAKES TALK, TOO

tFrom Stan correspondent
Washington, Aug. s.-(Special Tele-
gram. "A rare and very unusual
thing in the house occurred yester-
day when Representative Tavenner Of
Illinois, talking upon the bill to ap-
propriate $4,000 for the erection Of
a statute to John Ericsson, the father
of the Monitor and numberless other
important inventions, asked leave to
insert as part of his remarks extracts
from the speech that Congressman
Sloan of Nebraska made on the same
subject on Saturday last. Mr.. Trav-
enner, a rock-ribbed democrat, said Of
Mr.. Sloan's speech: 1T is literary
gem. 1t contains more interesting in
formation about John Ericsson than
can be found in any school book or
history that has ever come to my at
tention. 1t should be published as a
government document and sent out
to the public schools everywhere. |
happen to be one Of the members Of
the committee on printing and if a
resolution is introduced to make this
speech a house document, will, as
one member of the committee, vote
to report it favorably."
Tribute Unusual.
In many ways this tribute to a
member Of opposite political faith,
coming within forty-eight hours from
the time Of its delivery, is unparal-
leled and shows what research and
intimate knowledge of the subject
will accomplish for the careful
searcher after the unusual.

Ambassador Page Coming to Talk Peace

Washington, Aug. News that
Ambassador Page has started from
London on his way to this country
and that he carries important docu-
ments and will confer with Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing,
has served to revive reports that the
president may make move for peace
before many weeks.
While officials here do not confirm
the rumors that Page is coming here
in large part to talk over with the presi-
dent the situation as to possible
ending of the war, or at least the
practicability of offering to mediate
without stirring up resentment among
the allies, it is the general belief
here that this matter will be the
chief theme OF consideration. Mr..
Page, it is said, will also talk over
the blacklist. However, there seems
nothing in the blacklist situation
which cannot be handled in the usual
diplomatic way.
The belief has prevailed here for
some time that President Wilson
would make a peace move late this
summer or in the fall. 1t has come
from high administration quarters
that the president would make such
a move the instant he believed there
was any hope OF success. 1t is un-
derstood, the president has been
watching the military operations on
the west front narrowly, realizing
that these might take a turn which
would make feasible peace move.
Such a turn would be either clean
