Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash IL with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
coooanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tlrely 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
spoonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rlnses out easily, ana removes
every particle OF dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly! and II leaves II
fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough ia
last everyone in the family foI
months.-Advt.

SHOE RETAILERS

 BOOSTS IN COST

Philadelphia, May 16-The Nation al Shoe Retailers Association with headquarters in this city, has called a conference of allied industries from all parts of the country to consider abnormal conditions, making for an acute shortage of leather and shoe findings generally as we'll as material price advances on shoes and the out 1oow for a real merchandise famine by fall.
 A. H. Geuting, secretary of the as- sociation. in discussing the proposed conference said:
 Existing extraordinary conditions and the prospect of a serious shortage of leather very soon, are alarming everybody in the trade. One of the things we hope to accomplish through the conference of allied industries is elimination of waste. It is no longer a question of price in the trade but of getting merchandise and raw mater ia1s.
 Shoes will cost more and, in fact. are already costing more over the counter. We have just been notified of an additional advance of seven cents a foot for glazed kid in this market. This means that the fash ionable eight inch boot for women, in big demand for wear with short skirts, must take on an additional advance of from 50 cents to 75 cents pair over the prevailing price,

STATE SINKING FUND
 GROWING RAPIDLY.

The state law for the creation Of sinking fund with which to meet outstanding bonds as they mature is said to be working satisfactorily. The law went into effect last August and since that time the state has invested about $500, 900 in municipal bonds of cities in this state. It is thought that at the end of the present fiscal year the sinking fund will amount to about $520.0o0. The municipal bonds bought by the state yield an average of per cent. The last outstanding state bonds to mature will he in 193e. The sinking fund will then be suffi- cfent, it is expected. to meet all bonds as they become due. The present bonded indebtedness of the state is SIS, 3,o65,100. In 1907, the state had Q surplus of $266,47O in the treasury to cover outstanding bond issues
