Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

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

THE CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTOR

A coed many registered citizens are
pleading conscientious objections AZ
grounds of exemption from military
duty. II is Uncertain at present how
much legal consideration their clam
will receive As for moral considera
tion, the Illuminating comment made
by Bishop j. r. Cooke of the Southern
Methodist Episcopal church shoNs
that at best they can make but a sot,
ry case.
"The conscientious objector, says
the bishop, has no claim upon gov
eminent he disayows, upon country
Its laws, institutions, its life and civ
ili2ati0n that he will not defend,
This Is quite logical Our laws, in
situations, national life and civilization

fathers had been obsessed with con
scientious objections against fighting
if they had not taken up arms in de-
tense Of their civic rights. How, then
can man who objects to lighting TO-
these things now when they are
threatened consistently remain in en-
joyment Of them? What right has he
to share in blessings won by force Of
arms?
How can he avail himself Of the Pc
lice power that protects his person and
property, of the courts that guaran
tee him his civic rights Of the
schools that educate his children, OF
the libraries museums, parks, etc,
that minister to his needs, Of the pub
lie sanitation that safeguards hi
health OF the use Of public highway
and navigable streams, of the oppol
tunity To work, travel and enjoy him

of his membership in great. coop

functions by reason OF its ability an
willingness to defend itself?
lf conscientious objector" is real
ly such, and not merely coward
shirker, suggests Bishop Cooke, he wi
abide by the natural consequences Q
his convictions. He will be logical an
honest And that would make him Ii
