The Lead Call, in an editorial says
In the earlier part of the autumn the
coal producers claimed that the "car
shortage" was such handicap that the
price of coal had to be raised-although
nobody could quite figure out the cause
and effect" of the contention. Now an
other abrupt raise has been made of
Sl.00 a ton by the mines, with no ex-
planation at all--and it is taken for
granted of course that they now raise
the price Just because they want that
much more money and because it is
within their power to do so, and the
public is powerless to help itself One
dollar ton means an enormous increase
in the profits to the coal barons, and is
4 depressing situation for the coal pur-
chasing public to face, with long, cold
winter coming on. The steadily increas-
ing cost of print paper, without any ap.
parent real good reason, was provoking
to the newspaper publishers, but this
increase in the price of coal to the ex-
tent of Sl,00 ton at one sudden an
nouncement caps the climax.

with.
Most soaps ana prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkai. rnis dries tho

very harmful. Just plain mulsired
cocoanut oil (which Is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
Won can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with waher
and rub II in. one or two teaspoonfuis
will make an abundance OF rich. creamy
iather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Inc iather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle OF
Dust, dirt. dandruff, and excessive OIL:

You can get mulsifted cocoanut oil at
