COcOanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair In good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkili. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). Is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, az this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily. and removes every particle Of dust,
dirt. dandruff and excessive OIL. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II Is very
cheap, and a few ounces 10 enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

JUSTICE

WHILE Judge Brown mandamuses
w salaries into the pockets OF a horde
OF more or less useful officeholders. the
firomen OF Philadelphia continue TO labor
long hours for wages considerably lower
than they ought TO get We have no
sympathy with the contention that the
city cannot afford to pay these men. We
do know that II cannot afford not TO pay
them what they are worth.
Tho fire record in Philadelphia is the
most remarkable in America. High efn,
cheney has kept losses down and pre-.
vented great connagratlons. We have
heard no complaint anywhere OF the
service rendered. We have heard plenty
OF praise. But flremon and their fam.
flies cannot live on encomiums. They
need bread and butter and clothes. The
fircmen need, too, some time at home
with their families Their long assign.
mentS to duty under present conditions
nrc in striking contrast to the eight.
hours,a-day system in vogue in other
employments.
At this Christmas season. when fair.
ness is as important as cheerfulness, Il
behooves citizens to devote some thought
to the hremen and resolve that these
protectors OF their lives and properties
shall in the immediate future receive that
recognition which they deserve and OF
which they have been 80 long and so
unfairly deprived.
