Use CocoanUt Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash It with.
Most soaps and prepared shampooa
contain too much alkan. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily, and removes
every particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

GRANT AND HAIe.

When Riga falls, or when the sub
marine toll looms large, or when
news of pacifst meetings comes, 1t is
encouraging to read the history Of
the Civil war over again.
The year 1917 is surprisingly like
that Of 1854 as far as the military
situation is concerned, although the
present war has aroused far less
opposition than did the conflict be-
tween the North and the South. So
deep seated was the dissatisfaction
with the war that President Lincoln
despaired Of his own reelection.
With victory within its grasp the
North was crying for peace, just as
a small faction in America is call
ing today, before the country has
felt the stress of war.
The constant poundings Of the
German armies in France and
Flanders are beating down the Ger
man powers of resistance. In Italy
the Italians are sapping the very life
blood of Austria. Positions on both
fronts, that have been held for three
years. and fortified until they were
thought impregnable, have been
wrested from the Central Powers.
The power to take the offensive has
been taken from them. They are
fighting a defensive fight, moving
backward step by step.
Attrition told in the same way on
the army Of the South. Cold Harbor
and the Wilderness might be COM
pared to the battles in Flanders and
on the Chemin des Danes. APP
parently they are having no direct
results. But the strength. of Ger
many is steadily waning, while the
strength Of the Allies is steadily
and will be even more
rapidly augmented when the force Of
America is felt.
The breaking point may come as
suddenly as 1t did in the Civil
war.

LESSON NO. II.

staff. Branches of the SerViee-II.
The staff branches reviewed in thu
preceding lesson are the genera
staff corps, adjutant generals de-
partment, inspector generals de-
partment, judge advocate generals
department, engineer corps and
signal corps. The other three staff
branches which all directly touch
every soldier are the medical depart
ment, quartermaster corps and ord
nance department.
The medical department works
J along two distinct lines: First. ii
| tries to keep everyone in the army
in good health, and for this purpose
keeps close watch of the cleanliness
Of camps and buildings, of the quail
ity and cooking of food, and the
like; second, 1t provides ambulances,
hospitals and medical service for
the proper care of sick or wounded
men. The medical department in
cludes the dental corps, the hospital
corps and the nurse corps. It's off,
GERS are experienced physicians who
have passed rigid examinations. It's
enlisted men are chiefly engaged in
| the difficult and often dangerous
work of rescuing the wounded and
transporting them to field and base
hospitals.
Just as every man in the army
carries intrenching tools so that he
may protect himself without the help
of the engineer corps when neces-
sary, so he also carries a first aid
packet" so that he may in an
emergency perform some Of the
duties of the medical department.
Every soldier learns how to give
dressing and treatment to his own
wounds when he is able to do so,
and how to assist wounded comrades
until men from the medical depart
ment arrive.
Medical Department Efficiency.
The medical department of the
American armmy is regarded as one
Of the best in the world. A soldier
may feel assured he will receive ev-
cry possible attention in case Of
need. The percentage of recoveries
from wounds in the hospitals man
ned by Americans during the Europ-
can war has been exceptionally
high.
The quartermaster corps is the
business manager of the army. 1t
furnishes food. clothing and most
kinds of equipment; provides horses
and mules; ,arranges for transport
tation; takes charge of money; buys
supplies; pays troops; and keeps on
hand stores Of supplies.
The importance of all this work
can hardly be overstated. Napoleon
said An army travels on its belly"
meaning that soldiers must be we'll
fed and we'll supplied if they are to
fight effectively. This is even more
necessary today than it was in
Napoleon's time. In modern war
fare the scale Of lighting and the
quantities of supplies are so trem-
endous that the duties of the quar-
termaster corps are multiplied be-
yond any previous experience.
The officers Of the quartermaster
corps must be able business men.
Many of them have held important
business positions. The enlisted men
Of the corps are skilled in such oc-
equations as blacksmithing, paint
ing, driving teams and trucks, bak-
ing bread and the like.

A BRITISH VIEW OF WILSON.

The Public: Perhaps the best
substitute for a historical perspec-
tive on men and events Of our times
is the perspective of distance. Frank
Smith is an outstanding figure
among British democrats. He is a
labor leader. an agitatof and a
politician Of the best sort. In a let
ter to one Of the editors of The Pub
Tic, written on July 4 at London, he
says:
You win be glad to know that
every utterance Of Wilson is follow
ed here both closely and sympatheti-
cally. His influence is remarkable
Everyone feels he is a straight
man, and even when he goes to war
is no lingo. don't think any
American leader, since Lincoln, has
ever gripped the imagination Of
Britain as Wilson has done He
seems to have brought to many timid
folk a feeling Of security, not as re-
CARDS the terrible business now go-
ing on but when peace shall be
possible. Truly. with the hour came
the man.

MY NATIVE LAND.

Breathes there a man with soul SO
dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand
II such there breathe, go, mark him
we'll;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his
name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can
claim
Despite those titles. power and pelf,
The wretch, concentered all In self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonor'd and unsung.

Pacifists In 1776
Country Has Had To Meet Traitors
At Home in All lie Conflicts.

Philadelphia Evening Bulletin: A
deal of nervousness is felt by
some patriots over the meeting OF
pacifists; many are alarmed over
pro-German feeling in certain parts
of the country, and have daily in
tellectual Nightmares over the con-
dition Of the country.
All this is unnecessary. We have
been at peace so long that most OF
us forget the inevitable accompani-
ments OF war. Among these are
treason, carelessness, criticism and
foolishness. In every war we have
had there has been a greater back
fire than has appeared this year.
John Adams thought it doubtful II
more than half of the colonists were
at any time really in favor of the
war of Independence. In the war of
1912 the nation was almost paralyzed
by opposition and inertia at home,
SO that peace came in the nature of
reprieve. The Mexican war was
highly unpopular in many parts of
the north, and some of our great
est troubles in the Civil war arose
from copperheads, either openly or
in secret.
If this country is not already
aroused to q full sense of the SER
iousness of the war, the opposition
is feeble and is destined to decline.
There is more solidarity here than
there is in Germany or in Austria
Hungary. The American people like
to grumble and to pass resolutions,
but there is no reason to expect any
danger from the Minneapolis meet
ing. A lot of theorists will blow off
steam, make themselves ridiculous
and stir up the latent patriotism Of
the country.

War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army
Work Of Ordnance pepartment.

I Work Of Ordnance Department.
OF the same general character IL
the work Of the ordnance depart
ment, which furnishes the guns
ammunition and other supplies
needed for fighting. Several times
during the present war whole armies
have been forced to retreat or have
suffered severely because Of the lack
of munitions. The quantity of am
munition used daily Is enormous
During the French offensive Of June,
1917, 12.00O.0 900 shots were fired from
artillery guns.
In the actual theatre of war the
ammunition service is under the
control Of the field artillery. Bring
ing up supplies of ammunition to
troops and to batteries in action is
one Of the most essential Of all duties
on the battlefield. The wagons or
trucks carrying ammunition must be
driven when necessary within easy
reach Of the firing line. Sometimes
there Is an opportunity here for the
display of resourcefulness and cour-
age far above the ordinary require
ments of the service.
At the second battle Of Ypres in
April, 1915, the third battery in the
third brigade of the Canadian field
artillery galloped into position
within few hundred yards of the
German front, where they did gall
liant work fighting against over
whelming odds to hold back the en-
emy's onslaught. After a time 1t
became necessary to bring up high
explosive shells. One Of the Cana
dian gunners tells how they were
brought:
THE ammunition wagon contain
ing them came galloping across the
open field under a heavy fire, the
men flashing their horses and yelling
like mad. The horses were simply
crazed. Some of them had been hit
with bullets, and when they neared
our guns the men could not stop
them. 1t looked as though they would
There was only one thing to do: The
rider of the leading horses drew his
revolver and shot them dead. They
went down, with the other horses
and men and the wagon rolling over
and over them. With the high eX-
pIosive shells we tore the trees to
bits and left the whole place open;
then our infantry, quickly following
up the advantage. drove the Teutons
back"
The Fighting Team.
When the three fighting arms and
the nine STAFF corps are all brought
together under one control they form
what we may call 1.-The fighting
team" This is the team in which
you and every other soldier must be
ready to play your part.
The smallest unit in which all
these branches Of the service is rep
resented is known as a division. Tn
der present regulations an infantry
division is made up of three infantry
brigades; one brigade of field artil-
lery; one regiment of cavalry; one
regiment of engineers; one battalion
Of signal corps; one squadron of air.
planes; together with field trains
and combat trains carrying rations,
baggage, ammunition and all kinds
of supplies. A division, therefore, is
in itself a complete small army.
When at full strength ii includes
1884 officers and men. A field army
is made up Of number of such
divisions.

What Well Get From
The War

From The Des Moines Capital:
Every traitor and every near traitor
in the United States is inquiring
What are we going to get out OF
this WARP"
Well, among other things, we are
going to get better grade of patri-
otism than we have been having.
We are going to put an end to
building up foreign colonies in the
United States as breeding places OF
treason.
We are going to quit making the
foreigner believe he is the only
creature on earth worth while.
We are going to love every
foreigner who really becomes an
American, and all others we are go
ing to ship back home.
We are going to stop hiring men in
banks and public offices simply be-
cause they speak foreign languages,
In this way, we expect to encour-
age the speaking of the English lam
guage. We are going to have con-
SITUATIONS with the l. WSW. to as
certain whether or not they have "a
real grievance or any just cause for
their reasonable mouthings and
threats. If they have any just cause,
we are going to remove it; then we
are going to shut their mouths for
good and all.
We are not going to let men come
iT:to the United States without some
kind of bond, guaranteeing that
they are not going to engage in
burning property or in carrying on
secret work on behalf Of the coun-
try they came from. -
Out of this, war; we are going to
get a new United States. We are
going to hate nobody, but we are go
ing to be prepared to fight whenever
necessary. .
We are going to have the freest
country in the world, but we are not
going to allow any traitorous high
brows to set their own standards of
freedom by which to convert free
dom into treason.
There are a good many other
things "we> are going to get out Of
this war" When the soldier boys
come home, we are going to have 2
millions of patriots who, having
fought for the flag, will make good
citizens and thorough patriots.
The people of the United States
are going to get more out of this
war than will be returned to any
other country in the world.

HOW JAPAN WINS TRADE.

w. E. Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's:
I can recall the time when Japanese
! stores were unknown in Latin Amer
lea. Today they are to be met with
in all the large cities of these re-
publics while Japanese coolies have
supplanted the Cinnamon, against
whom In many of these lands exclu-
sion laws have been passed, presunl-
ably instigated by the willy states
men of Nippon. It has been repeated
| ly intimated on good authority that
; some of the Latin republics which
are none too friendly toward the
United States have suppressed
treaties with Japan, while 1t is an
open secret that Mexico, in exchange
, for fishing privileges given Japanese
concerns along her Pacific coast, OBJ
tanned financial aid and munitions
from this same source.
Markets for such articles as glass;
ware, toys, silk, paper goods, no.
tons, textiles, cottons, toilet goods
and a host of other necessities which
were formerly dominated by Euro
pean nations are now completely in
the hands of the laps, due to their
reduced freight rates on national
products and low wages TO workers
in home factories, which means that
these lines will be absolutely con-
trolIed in the future by japan. As an
example / may state that the cheap
clock and watch trade Of Chile,
Argentine, Uruguay, Brazil and
Peru are today supplied exclusively
by Japan, whereas the United States
and Germany formerly operated
alone in this field.

NEW ERA IN AERIAL WARFARE.

Italy is doing some amazing things
in aviation while General Cadorna's
troops are driving their way through
the mountains to the plains of Aus
stria.
The new Caproni machines which
have been used to bomb Trieste, are
said to be capable Of carrying TWEEN
ty-five men. together with five tons
OF ammunition and supplies.
3 They have made a speed OF $50
miles an hour, and have a nonstop
digit record of 1000 miles.
Needless to say the secret of the
new machines has not been kept by
the Italian army. Duplicates of them
are now building in England and
America.
A new era in aerial raids will be
inaugurated with the completion of
a fleet of these aerial monsters. It
viii be possible to transport large
bodies Of troops with them. Already
aerial raids have been undertaken
with as many as 100 machines. With
a fleet Of 1000 Of these machines, It
would be possible to transport an
army Of $4,000 men a distance of 500
miles In three or four hours. Armed
with machine guns they could over
run Berlin and Vienna in a surprise
attack, return to their machines and
be 500 miles away before dawn.
1t Is well within the range Of
possibilities that such an army
could be transported to Essen, wreck
the great munition works completely,
nnd leave before any great body Of
German troops could be mustered to
defend the city.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The Dickinson Press believes tina
North Dakota may become tn
dumping ground for all the disloya
elements of the country. OF Cover
nor Frazier's action it has the fol
lowing to say:
II Governor Frazier keeps up

quarters and dumping ground
for anarchists, socialists, /. w.
W., peace fanatics and riff-raf
from all corners of the nation.
AS soon as Frazier heard that

sofa had barred the Gs~natical
meetings of the Peoples 'Coun-
ell of America from that state,
he wired the executive secretary
of that organization that the So
ciety would be guaranteed con-
stitutional rights in North Da-
kota and invited them to come to
this state.
When he heard of the action Of
the Fargo citizens Governor
Frazier roundly condemned their
procedure in breaking up the

that protection should have been

How would you go about to
give the protection" was asked

Why, / would call out the

he responded.
But the Home Guards were

vised.

sponded the governor. We'll,
then 1t seems to me that the peo-
