Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be~rareful
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 naul.
SIZED cocoanut oil, for this Is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drugstore, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful i an
that is required. It makes an abundanca
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses ont easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 10 soft
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle ct dust. dirt and

WONDERFUL SIGHT

Pouring Of Molten Metal in keokuk
Electro Metals Concern, Said to
Rival Anything of
Its Kind.
MANY PEOPLE SEE TT
Motorists Make Special Trips to
West keokuk and Hill Above
Plant Furnishes Vantage
Point.
MANY PEOPLE SEE IT

Keokuk has a fireworks display,
staged nightly. which is attracting a
big crowd of people, and which should
attract more, according to those who
have seen the display. The pouring
of molten metal at the Keokuk Electro
Metals plant is said to rival any pour
Ing in any of the other big furnaces
Of the country. Many people have
been driving their autos to the plant
in the lower Keokuk yards, and the
hill above the plant in West Keokuk
has been furnishing vantage point
for many people who like to watch
the sight.
The Electro Metals plant is a blaze
Of light usually as soon as dusk falls,
but the finest display is to be seen
when the molten metal is poured.
There is spray Of stars like spray
of water rising fifteen to twenty feet
high as the metal is poured. From
the road it looks like a veritable In
ferno From the hill 165 feet above
the plant. the finest possible view is
obtained.
One man who has seen the big mills
of the east in operation said this
morning that the Electro Metals plant
outdoes any demonstration of this
character that he has ever seen. The
pouring of the molten metal from the
cupolas of the biggest plants in Pitts
burgh can not hold candle to the
display right here in Keokuk, he says.
Passengers on the river steamers
are given an excellent opportunity TO
see the big plant in blaze of light
as the boat comes into sight. The
captains point out the plant to their
passengers as one of the wonderful
and unusual things along the river.

Iowa now has POI consolidated rural
school districts. A year ago there
were 140 such school districts in the
state. Five years ago there were cnGl-
paratiyely few consolidated districts
in Iowa. In the past few years, Low
ever all of the agencies connected
with public school work in Iowa have
apparently made an especial effort 10
tuiid up the schLols in this STAT. and
tire results are now beginning TO
grow.
President n H. Seerley of the Iowa
State Teachers college declared in a
statement re ;ently given out that
"the dark ages of the country school
in Iowa are passing. The light of a
new day, educationally. is breaking
over the farms Of Iowa. Already In
many districts that have been aroused
to the possibilities of providing bet
ter educational facilities for country
boys and girls, modern school houses
have been built and equipped, trained
teachers provided and courses OF
study that touch the life interests 81
country children put into effect"
