Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefuliy.
II 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 mulsifed 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 thorough

ter and rub it in It 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

OTrUMWA'S BAND.

For many years Ottumwa has en-
loved a statewide reputation as the
home of one of the finest bands IN
tho middle west This was true
TWENTY-FIVE years ago and more. 1t is
tr,1e now and it has been true during
all the intervening time. In that
quarter of century there have been
hundreds of musicians in the chang
ine procession OF Ottumwa's band, or
hands. Directors have come anG
gone: the personnel OF the orsanlza-
tons. their names and their lnciiaa-
tons have changed time and AGAIN
but always Ottumwa's band has ad-
verti.ed Ottumwa and reflected cred
II on the city and its musicians.
Years ago. before Ottumwas band
became a regimental organization, II
was famous. When the right to wear
military uniforms was bestowed on
its members there was general re-
ioicine. 1t was identified first with
one regiment, then with another, but
always it has been Ottumwa's oand.
and always it has been some band.
Now the regimental musicians are
in camp, making preparations LOT the
trip overseas They still compose W
tumwas band, but back here at home
their name and fame are being Kept
alive pending their return by another
Ottumwa band. and that organization
deserves the patronage and loyalty OF
the citizens. Next summer its con-
certs will be heard in the park down
town while that other Ottumwa band
is encouraging khaki-clad soldiers on
their journey to or through Germany,
unless they shall have completed the
trip before that time. AT any rate
the civilian musicians are doing their
loyal bit and it is up to all OF US to
show them we appreciate their sort
of civic patriotism.

JOLLY FEELS BETTER.

Jolly Robin awoke at dawn. And
he knew at once that the day was go
ing to be a fine one. Though the sun
had not yet peeped above the rim of
the eastern hills, Jolly Robin was sure
that there would be plenty of sun
shine little later. He had ways of
his own for telling the weather; and
he never made a mistake about it.
Now. it had grown quite warm by
the time jolly Robin went to the
woods late in the morning to meet
Jimmy Rabbit. And the snow had
melted away as if by magic.
Summers coming! Summers COM
ing" Jolly called joyfully as soon as
Jimmy Rabbit came hopping into
sight "The apple-blossoms will burst
out before we know it."
"Yes-and the cabbages, too Jim
my Rabbit replied TIN glad the
white giant in the orchard lost his
head" he added, because there's no
telling what he would have done to
the cabbages later, if he had wan
dered into the garden. He might
have eaten every one of them. And
shouldn't have liked that very well"
Then they started OF together to-
ward the orchard to look at the head
less stranger who had given jolly
Robin such a fright the day before.
Jimmy Rabbit went bounding along
with great leaps. while Jolly Robin
flew above him and tried not to go too
fast for his long-eared friend.
Once in the orchard, Jolly led Jim
my to the spot where he had seen
r. >lx -
head with the SNOWFALL.
Here he isl" Jolly Robin whis-
pered-for he was still somewhat
afraid OF the giant, in spite of his
having lost his head. "He doesn't
seem as big as he did yesterday. And
he has dropped the stick that he car
ried''
Jimmy Rabbit stopped short in his
tracks and stared at the sttll figure
under the apple tree. For a few mo-
ments he did not speak.
"That looks to me like snow" he
said at last And he crept up to what
was left Of the giant and shifted at
him. 1T is snow" he declared.
When he heard that, jolly Robin
flew to a low branch just above the
giant.
Il don't understand it," he said
There's his head on the ground, with
the big, black eyes. They certainly
aren't made Of snow
"No!" Jimmy Rabbit agreed, as he
smiled at the terrible eyes. They're
butternuts-that's what they are!"
Well jolly Robin was so surprised
that he almost tumbled OF his perch.
There's his hat" he continued.

our way of thinking, the voluntary
censorship of news which might serve
the purposes of the enemy bears NO
sort of relation to such honest critf'
cism as we have outlined.
The trouble in America has been
that there has been too little con
structive criticism of conditions arts
ing from the war, and therefore, too
little attention in Washington to the
criticisms which have been made
Perhaps. as the editor Of Golfers
says, editors such as Clemenceau and

BUSINESS AS USUAL.

We hear the cry, Business as
usual" less and less as the public
mind assimilates the deadly serious
ness of the war and it's meaning. We
hear it just now, as Christmas ap.
proaches and there is not the demand
for the useless gew-gaws which IN
other years have been considered the
"dariingest" sort Of Christmas pres.
ents.
Money that has been in hiding is
coming out to swell Liberty Loans and
war funds of the Red Cross, the 7.
NJ. C. A. and the Y. w. c. A., and it
must continue to do it. But money
that has been going loosely into ex-
trayagances and luxuries is helping
to swell those same funds, too.
The war which Germany is waging
is the most determined blow at Chris
tianity since the crucifi1ion. Never
has there been time when it was SO
necessary for those who believe in
Christianity to uphold its tenants and
preserve its doctrines. The natal day
of the Savior has come to be the
worlds great gift day. and in all the
enthusiasm of the busiest Christmas
shopping frenzy there always has
been the thought, down deep IN our
hearts. that the bestowal OF gifts on
those dear to US was the proper
method of preserving that peace and
good will among men which is threat
ened now along with all of Christen-
dom's institutions.
Therefore, there is more reason
this year for preservation OF the
Christmas spirit than there was few
years ago, when peace reigned in the
world and when the monster OF greco
and barbarous butchery was not at
tempting the destruction Of Chris
tianity's very foundations.
Christmas business will not De
business as usual but there need
be no lack of buying useful glrts.
Sensible Christmas buying is the sort
that should have prevailed always.
anyway, and if this season sees more
of the useful Christmas gifts and a
minimum of the frothy ones, the war
may be said to have worked a sood
effect by calling attention to the viz
tues of sensible gift giving.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Useless Giving has strong ally IN
the war. There is difference, to ne
sure, between economy and niggardiy
parsimony. and that difference is the
strongest argument, if not for bust

HUNS.

The murder of women and children
on the British steamer Apapa by the
crew of a Hun submarine which al
ready had torpedoed the vessel and
made certain OF its sinking. adds
another to the long list OF crimes for
which no explanation save inhuman
barbarism can be offered.
Some months ago. some criticism
was leveled at The Courier because
of its use of the word. Huns in re-
ferring to the kaiser and the men who
do his bidding in the commission OF
crimes against Christianity. civiliza-
ton and humanity. Similar criticism
vas directed against other newspap-
ers at about the same time. and
Theodore Roosevelt came to the de-
Tense of the press by quoting from
the kaiser's address to German troops
on the eve of their departure for
China in July 1900. At that time
Wilhelm said:
You know very we'll that you

brave, well-armed and terrible

such a way that for thousand
years no Chinese shall dare 10
look upon a German askance. Be
as terrible as Atilla's Huns.
BY way of justifying our use of the
.itle borrowed from ancient history.
we devoted several hours to a re-read-
ing of the history Of the original Huns
from the beginning of their career in
Asia to the time OF Atilla's defeat at
Chalons- sur-Marne. so near the spot
where centuries later Joffre turned
back the German hordes which had
looted Belgium and much of France.
Comparing the crimes Of that an
Gent day with the crimes for which
the kaiser is bestowing iron crosses
on his soldiers and sailors today. We
are forced to the conclusion that If
an apology is due for calling the
kaiser's warriors Huns, 1t must be
offered to the shades Of Atilla and
his hardy race OF rufiians. Kultur has

MIXERS AUSTRIA STANDS.

Many papers in Germany are tell
ing the people that the Italian inva
sion is "the, herald of speedy peace.
And the Rheinisch Westfalische Eel
tung adds this reminder to Austria
that she is merely Germany's vassai:
These events should at least
make Austria realize how pitiable
a figure she would have cut in
this war without the help OF our
valiant field-greys. We have
taught the Austrians how to win,
thereby letting the whole world
know. and Austria, too, that
Trieste and all the roads leading
there must either belong to
faithful ally of Germany or. II
that ally is not faithful, to Ger
many alone.
Meanwhile, Emperor Charles Is

Mr.. pAvlsoN,s STORY.

Henry P. Dawson. chairman of the
Red Cross war council, enjoys pokine
fun at his abilities as public speak
er. On recent occasion he INDUCED
this fancy by saying:
When was young fellow,
wondering what / should do to
make living, / heard someone
say that the men who were abso-
lutely failures as public speakers
invariably were entirely success
full as bankers. This decided my
career and I came to regard my
self in time. as pretty good
banker.
But quit the banking business
to enter this Red Cross work,
and now, whenever l face an
audience, am convinced anew
that I was indeed a most excel
lent banker.
Which leads us to wonder whether
Mr.. Daniels was not better editor
and Mr.. Baker better attorney than
either ever dreamed before he be
