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
shampoos contain too much aIkau.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best~thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and Is
better than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply 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 1t
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
line and silky, bright, iust-ous, fluffy
and easy to manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adver-

CANNOT REPAIR 1T
Little Chance for State COnSti-
tuition in Kansas.
House Votes Down Proposed
Taxation Amendment.
ADMINISTRATION IS ANXIOUS
Capper Supporters in Hard
Fight to Save All.
Six Amendments Held to Spe-
ciaI Order on Calendar.

Chances for repairs to the state
constitution went glimmering today
when the house voted down the pro-
posed amendment providing for
graduated system of taxation. The
measure was the one constitutional
provision which found its way thru
the house committee of the whole. On
third reading the measure fell four
teen votes short of the constitutional
two-thirdS ma jority.
Administration members made a
hard fight to save the tax provision.
They held call of the house twenty
minutes and worked to change enough
votes to put thru the proposed amend
nent- But it was losing fight. With
a half dozen members absent, the ad-
mlniStratiOn leaders were never with
in sight of the necessary "a votes re-
quired to push a constitutional provi-
sion thru the house. Just 90 votes
We're registered for the tax provision,
while 4S members voted against the
amendment.
Reject Resolutions.
When constitutional questions came
up for consideration in the house last
week. the tax provision was one of the
favorites in the elimination process.
Three amendments were considered by
house mem bers under the special or
| der A provision removing the limit
as to the number of amendments to
! be submitted in a single election, was
badly beaten. House members also
rejected the resolution permitting the
state to engage in internal improve
ments as affecting highway building
and flood prevention. The tax amend
ment was allowed to slip thru to third
reading, only to be beaten today when
called up for final consideration.
| Six amendments proposed at this
session of the legislature. now hold
special order positions on the house
calendar. They have been sidetracked
until Friday. At that time they will
be called up for consideration in COM
mittee of the whole. An effort will be
made to secure a two-thirds vote for
some of these provisions. In the judg-
ment of house leaders, tho, there is
little hope for the passage of any OF
these measures at the present session
of the legislature. Several of the
measures are positive administration
provisions Even with administration
backing there is scarce a chance for
one of the provisions to go to the vot-
ers for ratification in 1918.

then HE away to new fields of credit.
A minute account of every one of the
$4,000 credit customers of the city is
on file in the office of A. G. Durham,
