CoCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

X x X X X X x x X x \ 4 X X X
If you want to keep your hair in good
esndition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless, is much better than the most
soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can I posi-
bly, injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and sclp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified eoeoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough TO last
everyone in the family for months.

them almost to despair.

prison authorities over the scene of the
crime few days ago, confessed today
I'd the Hill ak murders at Ardenwald,
Oregon, in 1911, there is not much stock
taken in the confession by the state au-

doubt his story as they believe he has
mania for notoriety.

stood at the door of the house while a
man whose name was Ramsey, alias
Alexander, killed the family, which con-
sisted of four persons. Ramsey was sus-
pected at the time but was released.

FARM LOANS AT 5 PER CENT.

The announcement has been made that the farmer
will be able to borrow money from the new Farm Loan
banks at per cent 1t will be boon to the agricultural
industry money becomes available at this rate 1t seems
almost too much hope 1t is apparently expected that
the public going take Az per cent land bonds at par
leaving onehaf of per cent for expenses of banking
All depends on the attitude of the public There are
already many applications for these bonds. But stand
ard railroad bonds selling at about AZ cent
basis while excellent public utility securities can be had
on per cent basis. The question comes whether the
public will accept farm loan bond at AZ per cent when
It can get for mortgage electric light telephone,
trolley, power and other plants
This new enterprise will be blow to many lending
companies that have been putting out money to farmers
at from per cent up Many people who were pennless
few years ago have grown rich this business But it
looks as if their harvest were drawing to close.
There has been carnival of speculation in this form
of investment Poorly organized companies would sell
off loans without proper securities Then when the bor
rover would fail to pay the lender became discouraged
In many the lending company would buy back the
mortgage for small Then farm business would
look up the borrower would pay up and the lending
pany had made an enormous percentage.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
Icramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never
be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out, and
believe you need dose of danger
Gus calomel, just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don't talke calomel! 1t makes you
ick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.
