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 sham
poos contain too much alleali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is jest
ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and 10 better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuis will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub Il
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt.
dandruf and excessive oil The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil AZ
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months

Society Must Pay the Price.

Santa Ana, CAL, Register: Nearly
everybody remembers the white slave
case in which two young girls Of good
families, OF Sacramento, were taken
to Reno. Nevada, by two young men
OF equally good families, of the same
city-Diggs and Caminnetti.
After many long-drawn-out trials
these young men were found guilty.
and Judge Van Fleet, In sentencing
them said: Society must pay the
price. wish to say" he continued,
that all through this case there is the
evidence that drink had its paralyzing
influence upon the morals and the
minds of these men and these two
young girls with whom they went on
that trip to Reno. The terrible, ydebas.
ing influence Of the saloon, the dead
fall of the roadhouse, is too disgusting
ly apparent in this pitiful situation.
and I make the observation here that
society must pay the price for permit
ting the existence Of these highly
Objectionable places"

WHO PAYS THE COST?

| railroad strike Of anything Of countryWlue
extent would pile American prosperity In
heap of debris The railroad companies know
that; the employees know it; the public half
realizes it. In the next few hours, when the
strike vote of the four hundred thousand men
of the railroad brotherhoods will be presented
with renewal of the eight-hour demand upon
the railroads, stiffening of public sentiment
upon the side of labor peace will do much to
force the contending railroads and the en-
ployes into conciliatory mood.
Many observers of the present situation,
which amounts to deadlock, are pessimistic.
Yet the public is facing a danger. 1t IS the
public's business The people of Iowa are no
less concerned in the outcome of the dispute
than are people Of the more populous common
wealths of the east and west. 1t is the public
which suffers in strike.

SHOPPING IN THE CARIBBEAN.

The treaty by which the Danish West indies
will pass into possession of the United States is
being viewed from all angles, but no aspect of
the transaction is quite as interesting it's re-
lation to the Panama canal; all speculation
comes back to that relation. And there is i'm
perialism enough in the American blood to
make the stay att home citizen runinate little
over his map.
The Danish West Indies are only a dot
There is the long chain of the Leeward and
Windward islands, British and French. And
there is Jamaica, beautifully rich island
rich particularly in it's geographical location.
Jamaica is the nearest island to the canal and
it is at the strategical striking point on two of
the principal points for canal traffic. All OF
these things are interesting. The Caribbean
Is decidedly not an American sea-
The American citizen isn't downright wor
RED over that map; he doesn't eat and sleeI
with 1t. But those things co get into the blood
There's too much of Europe in the Caribbean.
So we have gone shopping again in the
Caribbean. If the Danish authorities agree t.
the United States proposal, Miss Columbis
will come home with bargain purchased a

In Keokuk. too there is cause for complaint
because of the glare of powerful searchhghts
attached to automobiles. They are nuisance
and danger. There is as much reason for a
bright searchlight on car in the streets Of this
CITY as there is for sixteen-incE cannon to be
mounted on the top of the Hotel Iowa. It is
only on country roads, where ruts may lie in
the way Of car, that such powerful lights are
called for. And even on country roads the
bright lights ought to be shut off whenever a
car is in the vicinity Of another, for the lights
blind the driver of approaching ma
chine. Owners of cars with overnight light
attachments should use DINNERS while driving
through the city streets

AMUSED BY THE MOVIES.

I! There is a great deal written about motlOn
pictures; about their morality and immortality;
1 about censorship; about their art future and
art impossibility; about what they need ana
what they can do for US. But the most slgnln-
! cant thing about the whole business is that
.sthe movies are the most colossal business
| adventure Of the past decade. Millions of peo-
p1e pay to see the screen pictures daily; hum
dreds of millions of dollars are invested in their
making and distributing and over one billion
dollars is more or less directly employed in con-
nection with them. Whatever be the art or
morals of motion pictures, they have proved
/ that people will pay up to their utmost ability
| to be amused.
! The desire to be amused is as permanent as
normal appetite What is worth noting is that
the world of today has SO little power to amuse
itself intelligently. It is interesting to specu-
late on what the millions of motion picture pa
irons did with their leisure before the
movies came The speaking stage has
claimed that many Of them patronlzed the
theatre, but this section of the great picture
public must be very small one. Pubic IL
brarians claim that the reading public has been
increased rather than lessened by pictures.
Sociologists say that the pictures have removed
thousands from the saloons as an evening habl-
tat. Certainly the pictures have taken millions
of people from their homes as place OF evening
! amusement. One thing seems evident: our
educational schemes are more and more oil
rected to supplying the needs of the working
day; they include less and less Of subject mat
ter and teaching purpose directed toward en-
ploying leisure inteligently. People who can
make themselves happy In their leisure hours
are contented on small incomes; increasing IN
come and lessening happiess will breed trou-
BILE. It will not pay to work for nation OF eff
Gent workers who are discontinued when their
work is done The 'tmovies'' are social fact
of far-reaching significance for our educators
to consider.

What is there about Glove of ease' that
makes the up and doing ones so wroth! Love
of ease is a universal human trait, and has been
SO from the beginning of time. 1t is the lncen-
tive even of war Barbarian tribes and nations
fight for slaves, and even the civilized city
states of ancient Greece made war in order to
reduce their captive enemies to bondage and
compel them to do all the work, SO that the con-
ouerors might enjoy lives of leisure. Love OF
ease is the handspring of all human activities.
Men labor to obtain comforts and Injuries II
hope of enjoying the fruits of ones work were
gone no man would labor except under compul-
sion of law or Of necessity. He who vociferates
against love of ease assails all mankind, in
