Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mu1siffed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and grea seless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, 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, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

why TEMPT HIN?
Senator Weeks Pans Promoters
of Hughes Candidacy.
Supreme Court Should Be I'M
mune to Political Aspiration.

Washington. April 12.-Senator
Works, Republican, today coupled an
attack on the army bill with a denun-
citation of politicians. whom he de-
cIared were trying to tempt Justice
Hughes with presidential nominal
ton. Partisan politics, declared the
California senator lis ruthless in it's
demands and invades the most sacred
precincts of the national government.
1t is seeking place and pelf and pow
er wherever and whenever it can find
entrance.
Just now it is attempting to invade
the supreme court of the United
States. 1t is presenting to a member
of that body the greatest temptation
that could be offered to an American
citizen-to surrender his place on the
bench and become a candidate for po-
litical office. This attempt to bring
the highest judicial tribunal of the
country, or any member of it into pol
itics should be resented, not only by
the member to whom the tempting Of
fer is made, but by the whole country.
Renders Country Lasting Service.
ITO my mind it is of the gravest
Importance that the great tribunal
should be separated absolutely and
forever from politics, candidacy for
office or any interest in elections be-
yond that of the disinterested and pa
tr1otlc private CITIZEN.
IF any member of the supreme
court is tempted by an offer of a NOM
ination a candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States and refuses
the offer because he is a justice of the
supreme court, and for that reason
can not conscientiously accept a NOM
ination to a political office or engage
in politics, he will have rendered his
country a great and lasting service.
II he does that one act of -unselfish
patriotism and devotion to the best in
terests of his country that has so sig
nally honored him, it will keep his
memory green in the minds of his
countrymen long after the politicians
who thus tempted him are forgotten
The use of his name as a candidate is
an offense to him and to the country .

brought here from the front last night
to be tried in connection with the
raid on Columbus, today was identi-
fled as having been around town prior

arrested by Villa on a chanrge of
espionage and who was being held for
execution when Villa was obliged to
abandon him at Ell Vale. Each denied
all knowledge of Villas whereabouts
and said he was not wounded when
they saw MIN last at Ell Vale. Those
who were able to talk frankly admitted
participation in the Columbus raid and
protested an intense dislike for the
bandit chieftain, claiming that he had
forced them into his band and kept
them with him through fear.

Man Best Friend, Liquor
Worst Foe.

Bishop ]. M. Connor of the
Twelfth Episcopal district, visited
the McCrory A. M. E. church
here on his tour of the state in
the interest of his church, school
and his race. In his lecture today
he said:
In my travels | have found
that the negro's friends in the
Southland are many. / have no
patience with the carefree, in
different, lazy and shiftless negro
who goes around whining. He
is a curse to his race, especially
when the good Southern white
people are anxious to give him
employment.
Also | mean to go on record
as opposed to liquor. The whis-
key folks are making strenuous
attempts to saddle that heinous
traffic upon this state again. I
pray God that it will be defeated.
Liquor is detrimental to our race.
Not only do | want the negro
men to go against it, but you
women use your influence
against it, for it is you who suf-
fer most. AS people we can't
think of any thing else but to go
against it. It tears us down,
