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 null
sihed cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely 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 it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather 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 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.-Adv.

POLITICAL CRITICISM OF HANDLIN.

The other day a newspaper which affects to think itself.
the spokesman for the state administration lmdulged In a
smal-sized TRADE on State Audltor ). t. f1anann Tor cues
tioning the validity of the Legislative appropriation FOR the
soldier bows who have returned from the border.
The governor had investigated the matter and the legis.
lature had investigated it, declared this erstwille pohtlcal
shetland that's enough!
We don't care the snap Of a finger about Mr.. Handlin. or
his political fortunes-but he is assuIedly within his rights
when he asks the attorney general for an informal opinion with
respect to the legality of the appropriation.
And the attorney general is surely within his rights when
he advises that, in his opinion, the auditor, under certain CON
tinpencies. might be held personally Liable for the sum.
Mr.. Handin presumably is a rather poor man, as wealth
is measured in these modern times. 1t would smash HIM
the state treasury if some cranky citizen should happen to sue
ceed in proving the appropriation invalid under the consti-
tuition.
Bad as the boys need the money, and hopeful as a large
proportion of the people are that they will get it, the state
auditor should not be censured for desiring to remain on the
safe side of SO large an amount of money.
In view of the attorney generals expressions OF doubt,
the auditors critics live In the dim and misty past. They
be mistaken-the ''king'' in this instance being the governor,
according to their theory.
1t is to be hoped that the attorneys who have evinced a
disposition to test the matter in the courts will be able to con-
vince the supreme court of the state that the doubt entertained
by the attorney general and the state auditor is without iusti-
fable foundation.
In the meantime, let us remember that we are not living
at a time when the s'divine right of kings is paramount.
The car of Russia thought such was the case until he suddenly
found himself without 4 throne. So, too, the emperor of Ger
many still seems to entertain some such notion-but is likely
to awaken some bright morning to a realization of the fast
that neither heredity nor chosen rulers are justified in har-
boring such exalted opinions Of themselves.
Fortunately for the state of South Dakota, it's governor,
we feel warranted in saying, is not inclined to join in the con-
demnation of the state auditor for merely trying to protect
himself and his bondsmen.
1t would be better for the governor If these ssdivine
right theorists would cease to assume the role of spokesman
for him.

FoMENTING TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

1t is evident that the German government is trying to
foment trouble between the United States and Mexico. The
military party OF our southern neghbor seems to be under the
infunce of the kaiser's agents.
1t has been questionable for years whether the better
policy would not be to assume charge of Mexico on the part
OF Uncle Sam. Old Diaz was a dictator and without regard
for human rights, but he was a gentleman and scholar COM
pared with some OF his would-be successors in power In Mexico.
With q quarter of a million men and plenty Of guns and
ammunition, the United States could walk all over Mexico.
within a few months, SO far as the 4atters military Strength
is concerned.
All that Mexico can hope to do is to offer a little diversion,
resulting In sacrificing a comparatively few American lives
and the destruction Of hundreds if not thousands of Mexican
lives.
But since human life is about the cheapest thing in Mex
|lco. neither Mexican %cut-throats nor the kaiser's agents take
1t into consideration. If Mexico shall be able to keep a.
couple of hundred thousand American boys employed on this
continent we are likely to send fewer men across the Atlantic
to assist in crushing German autocracy. This, at all events,
seems to be the trend of thought In the mind Of. German mill
Itarism.
The Mexican diversion will not in the last divert Americas
resources from dealing with the situation affecting the contro-
{yersy between this country and Germany.

HAS THE MILLENNIUM DAWNEDg

There is a set of people who believe that what is known
as the millenium-the thousand years Of the kingdom Of
Christ an earth, based on Revelation Ky, I5-bega in 1914.
Theoogians are not IN agreement concerning the exact
meaning of these Scriptural passages, but the people men
toned hold to the theory that during asperiod of one thousand
years, according to our present method of reckoning, Christ
will make his second appearance on the earth and will reign
IN person.
We werestold some years ago by the prophets holding to
this belief that the beginning of the@Inillenium would be
marked by the greatest and most atrocious war the world has
ever seen.
Before this thousand years shalIahave passed the world
will have become regenerated from the effectslof Original
will characterize mans dealings with his fe1ow-men hence
forward and forever.
It has SO happened-if these good people will excuse the
expression--that one part of their prophecy, il their deducss

literally fulfilled. Ss
