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 mulsihed 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 teaspoonfu1s 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 mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

BEST THEATRE,

Today-"The Hawk" is French
importation which comes to the screen
by way of the legitimate stage Will
liam Faversham played the leading
role in the English translation pre-
sented here a few seasons ago.
Earle Williams undertakes the role
played by Faversham. He is seen as
a gentleman gambler of impecable
social position, whose chief Joy in
winning at cards is that he is enabled
to buy little Injuries for his wife, to
whom he is devoted. But his wife is
in love with another man, and through
his influence begins to hate her part
in her husbands gambling. When
her husband learns of the affair his
first impulse is to kill the intruder,
but learning that it will mean dis
grace for his wife and exposure for
himself, he resigns and leaves the
couple to arrange for divorce.

With his 4'inspiratlon" gone, the
gambler loses his luck and takes such
quick slide down the social scale
that six months later, when he comes
back to sign the divorce decree he is
down and out and on the verge Of be-
coming drug fiend. His wife, moved
by his pitiable state, gives up the
other man and goes back to her hus-
band. Needless to say, when the pic
ture ends, the couple are announcing
their intention of going straight" and
have every prospect of a prosperous
career ahead of them. 1t has one good
stretch of melodrama in the part
where the other man catches the wife
helping her husband cheat in a card
game.
Supporting Earl Williams is Julia

and Denton Vane.

 The delegates before closing again pledged all of their members and affiliated bodies to the support of President Wilson's war program.
