Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
lather, cIeanses thoroughly, and rinses
cut easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides. it Ioosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dan

nation on High Water Stage
at LeeCh Lake.

'It isn't everyone who has the
happy faculty of being able to COM
bine business with pleasure" says the
Walker Pilot in last weeks issue, "but
Harold Knutson, the Republican NOM
inee for congress from this district,
can do it without letting one interfere
with the other"
While attending the annual summer
outing of the Northern Minnesota Edi-
torial association, of which he is a
member, he took occasion to spend a
day with Editor Dare at Federal Dam,

at which point is located the dam
which has so much to do with the
damage to shore line at Leech Lake,
as we'll as to valuable hay meadows
for many miles back from the lake.
Accompanied by q representative
delegation of Federal Dam boosters
Mr.. Knutson made a trip over a pOr-
ton of the affected territory and he
was shown the ravages wrought by
the policy now being maintained by
the federal government. At one point
the high stage of water had washed
away forty acres of rich tillable land
and undermined the buildings, which
had toppled into the lake where they

we made not the slightest effort to
either pump or handle" him. Fur
thermore, Bob Dunn will never be
found knocking any proposition that
has for its object the betterment of a
single mile of road in Minnesota or
any other state. But we are deeply
interested in the Minnesota Scenic
Highway, especially in that part of
it that traverses Mile Laos county,
and will boost it to the best of our
limited ability. That's all!
Warren Register: Clarkson, the
Jefferson Highway man, is being
bombarded with demands for his rea-
sons for choosing the central route"
1t is maintained that the western
route scored the most points in the
plan that was devised for the avowed
purpose of determining which of the
three proposed routes should be Sc
lected, but that Mr.. Clarkson ignored
that fact and refuses to give out the
result of that contest" Nor has he
yet told the public why he made the
choice he did. People like open and
above board action and square deal,
so they have hidden Clarkson a COM
plete and final farewell.
This from the st. Peter Free Press
way down in the southern part of the
state: The state of Vermont extends
a cordial invitation to our people and
elsewhere to spend their vacations
among it's green Mountains and its
beautiful lakes and streams and as
sures the visitors a hearty welcome
and hospitable entertainment.
In commenting upon this invitation
the Duluth Herald calls attention to
our own attractions, our beautiful
lakes and streams and unsurpassed
climate and sporting and health pos
sibilities and suggests that if the
people of Duluth would make an
effort to acquaint the outside world
with the unequaled natural attrac-
tions in northern Minnesota and at
the same time provide for suitable
hotel accommodations for the tourists
it would be an investment sure to
yield large dividends.
And the Herald hasn't made it half
strong enough. AS health resort
and paradise for the hunter and the
angler, Northern Minnesota stands
unsurpassed in this country. We have
thousands of lakes and as many is
lands, one more beautiful than the
other and most of them within, easy
reach from wherever tourist may
make his headquarters. The climate
is delicious and invigorating, the fish
ing irrestible and the surroundings
of nature so bewitching and captivat-
ing that most of the tourists who have
enjoyed an outing in that region go
home determined to come back again
the next season..
All that is needed to popularize
Northern Minnesota as summer re-
sort is to gather the necessary statis-
tics and to circulate them as is done
in other states, and it is up to Duluth
to take up this work.

place portions of an old Indian burial
ground had been washed away, expos
ing bones and skulls of departed In
dians who had since journeyed to the
happy hunting grounds"
Along the shore and for miles
back sugar naples, elms, oaks and
pines stood dead or dying as result
of the high stage of water maintained
by the government dams. creating an
impression of desolation not pleasing
to behold.
Before leaving Mr.. Knutson inter
viewed a number of residents in the
territory visited and he signified his
intention of making the artificial
flooding of agricultural lands in North
ern Minnesota one of the first things
to receive his attention in case of his
election to congress, and as there is
not any doubt on that score the set
tiers residing in the reservoir territory
may look for relief at no distant date.

Testing q euIIet-Proof Coat.

A personal friend of mine, writes a
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian. had an amazing experience
with bullet-proof armor. When he was
in Paris at the beginning Of the war, a
fluent French inventor persuaded him
to give him an opportunity to demon
strate in England a thin chain-armor
shirt, which he said would resist any
bullet or bayonet. A sample shirt had
been hung up and fired at with salts
factory results. but it was with some
skepticism that my friend attended
the official demonstration.
However, to oblige the inventor, he
put on one Of the shirts to show its
comfort and flexibility. 1t was then
that the inventor achieved a dramatic
effect, for he whipped out an auto
matte pistol and blazed away straight
at my friends chest Fortunately the
armor proved successful. Before he
had recovered enough breath even to
protest, war official grasped him
warmly by the hand.
Sir" he said, you are q brave
mani"
My friend disappeared with becom-
ing modesty.

The great increase in the use of

Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation to the effect that the prepa-
rations Of this drug now on the market
vary widely in their strength, and that
at least one reputable manufacturer
is supplying a product so unusually
toxic as to prohibit its use. at any rate
in anything approaching the ordinary
