ing Strongest Man in Race for Republican Nomination.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March B. The belief Is growing that either Col. Roosevelt or Justice Hughes will re- ceive the RepuDiican nomination at the National convention to be held in Chicago on June 2.

 The announcement of Justice Hughes that he did not wish his name to go before the Chicago con- vention has served to give Roosevelt a still stronger following.
 The leaders of the old line Repub- licans profess to believe that Colonel Rooseyelt's name will not even be considered by the Chicago convention and predict that with so many candi- dates in the race that the nomination will go to some man who has never broken faith with the party.

COcoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much allkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing 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 teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleases the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and 1t leaves it fine and silky
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
MONTHS advertisement.
