HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL 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 II.
The best thing for steady use
Is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which Is pure and greaseless)
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub IL In. II makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and II leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright,
lustrous, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family

NOT WORRIED
OVER MEXICO

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
2S.-While realizing possibilities
of trouble from Germans gather
ing in Mexico, authorities de-
clared today the government is
prepared adequately to cope with
that situation.
Sporadic outbreaks and border
raids are the most to be guarded
against. Indications are against
any real military danger.
Reports to the government show
conclusively that a great many
Germans have been and still are
fleeing to Mexico. Reports indi-
cate concentration at Torreon.
But all this flight does not mean
that they are preparing to fight
this country; many are fleeing in
fear of internment.
In so far as authorities reveal,
there is no disposition on Cen
eral Carranza's part to heed Ger
man Vaccinations and plunge his
people into any conflict with the
United States.

You let up on that wild, insane
agitation of war against Germany!
You are certainly crazy for Eng

lish gold! You are English trait
ors and pro-British agitators of
the most rabid and venomous
kind.
The whole editorial gang and it's
equipment of obsequious English,
lick-spittle flunkeys should be
forced over to the English front
and be compelled to fight against
Germany. They should be kept
there by force and never allowed

ted, suppressed and suspended.

Welcome Russia
