Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which is very injurious. as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply mOisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is all
that is required 1t makes an album

thoroughly, and rinses out easily The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is

and easy to handle. Besides. it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,

THE RICH AND POOR

In an address before the Republican
Club of New York. w. p. Hamilton,
editor of the Wall Street Journal, said
in part: "a college professor in Wis
consin recently repeated with en-
phasis the dangerous half-truth that
therich are growing richer and the
poor are growing poorer. 1t is true
that the rich have grown richer, es-
pecially i'm the past 20 years. 1t is
not true that the poor, if by this we
mean even only the wage earners,
whether unionized or not, have grown
poorer. And it is equally untrue that
the rich have grown rich at the ex-
pense of the poor.
"This misconception arises from the
crude supposition that no one can
grow wealthy without somebody else
growing poorer. 1t imagines the
business of the world conducted on
the basis of a game of cards, where
somebody loses. 1t does not realize
that in the increased prosperity of a
people everybody can win and nobody
necessarily loses. This is simply the
result of thrift and the distribution of
newly created wealth. What this
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1916-04-19

created wealth means, for this coun-
try alone, few simple figures easily
demonstrate.
ut is absurd to suppose that wealth
of the United States is all, or even in
more than small part relatively to
the whole, in the hands of the one-half
of one per cent Of US who pay an in
come tax. The total wealth of the
country was estimated in 1912 at
$187, 739 ,000, 900, an increase from
the estimate of 1904 of more than rs
per cent, or the almost unthinkable
sum Of 10 billion dollars per annum.
Much of this increase was in value OF
land; but bank deposits increased
from less than 81 billion dollars in
1900 to 20 billion dollars in 1915. New
wealth annually from the farms, APP
proximately five billions in 1900, had
risen to IL billions in 1915. Instances
might be multiplied; but it will be
seen that the farmer, who is presum-
ably not u malefactor of great wealth,
has shared in the improvement. That
the tendency Of this wealth is not to
accrue solely to the capitalist, but
rather to the wage Garner, Is shown
by the fact that in the comparison of
the census of 1900 with 1910, capital
invested in manufactures increased
1868 per cent, while the number of
employees increased 40 per cent, and
the amount paid to them increased no
less than 20 per cent. The increase
in the number of employees is import
ant, because the increase in popula-
ton was only Fl per cent, indicating
how greatly labor had benefited by
the growth of. the national wealth.

FAILURE NOT A DISGRACE

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear of
youth everywhere, that it is a dis
grace to fail-that is, to fail to make
money, to accumulate property.
1t is not disgrace to fail; but it is
disgrace not to do ones level best
to succeed. mot failure, but low aim
is crime"
Multitudes of poor people today who
are not known outside their own little
communities are really great success
es when measured by all that makes
true greatness-their heroic endeav-
ors, their brave battle for years with
obstacles, playing losing game with
great patience and wonderful self
control under the criticism of those
who do not understand them are evil
dences that they have succeeded. The
possession of a noble character is the
greatest evidence in the world that
one has succeeded.
On the other hand, if a man has
gotten a fortune, but has left his
manhood on the way to it; if he has
bartered his good name in the process
of getting it, he is still failure, no
matter how much money he may have
accumulated.
A clean record is the greatest kind
of success. And how few men who
make big fortunes manage to save
their good name, to keep their record
cleani lli-sls
The mere possession of money may
