Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, If
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsiied cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub It
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

and 300 men, was sunk by an uniden-
titled submarine at l o'clock Thurs
day afternoon off the island of Crete,
in the eastern Mediterranean. Re-
ports to the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation company said that
nearly all on board were lost. Robert
McNeely of Monroe, n. c., American
consul at Alden, Arabia, and Robert
Grant of Boston were on the liner.
Four boats are known to have got
away from the sinking vessel, each
capable of carrying so persons, but it
is not know il the boats were full
The rescued were picked up by
steamer bound for Alexandria, where
they are expected to arrive today.
Peninsular and Oriental line officials
said they received no details concern:
ing the disaster and did not know
whether the Persia received warning.
They also were unable to give any in
formation concerning Americans on
the ship.
Cable communication with the
East is so slow that details of the
disaster are not expected for day or
two, but the meagre reports received
give rise to the fear that the sinking
Of the Persia will prove the most dis
astrous result of submarine campaign
since the torpedoing of the Lusatania.
