Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
IL you want TO keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifled 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 il IN. It makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily. removing every particle OF
dust. dirt, dandrun and excessive oil
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
It leaves the scalp soft. and the hair

and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap anc
and a few ounces will supply ever,

merce will automatically resume just
as soon as the unlawful British block
ade is raised, but as it was England
that began the illegal use of what 1t
considers its most effective weapon
against our non-combatant population
ought Germany, in fairness, to be ex-
pected definitely to forego the employ
ment of its only weapon suited to fight
off Great Britain's hunger blockade
OF our rights to import from neutral
countries the necessities of life for
our civil population?
This is as much our right as it is
neutral right. It was backed by
the attitude"of the neutrals expressed
in their numerous protests. 1t was
recognized by the sense Of shame that
existed in the enemy countries.
The blockade seems less frightful
to you than the submarine warfare.
II is farther away and less dramatic,
but I would ask the American people
to read the British boasts. They are
untrue in so far as they claim to have
impaired our fighting strength
through the blockade, and to have
lowered the morale and spirit of our
fighting men by sufferings inflicted
upon their families. They boast that
they are sapping at the future OF the
German race. We must stop them.
Duty of Neutrals.
IF there had been any outlook for
peace on the lines suggested in Presi-
dent Wilson's address our decision
would have been different" continued
Professor Delbrueck, "but we were
confronted, under the Entente's
terms. with dishonor and dismember-
ment"
Replying 20 a question as to his
views concerning the rights Of nom
combatants at sea. DR.. Delbrueck
said:
The rights of non-combatants at
sea can only be respected if they
themselves respect their duties as
nOn-combatants. British merchant
men have sunk U-boats by putting un
sham defences and by misuse OF
neutral flags These have been
isolated acts. but are the result Of q
policy announced by the British Ad
