Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkai. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary rulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use. sias
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply

dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves

to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil al

ounces will supply every member OF tns
family for months.

Allies of the Kaiser.

Just as the Civil war had its Tories,
men who were really allies Of the
king of England and enemies of lib
erty, SO America still has men who
oppose with all the power at theil
command every act of the government
which is attempting to bring this war
to a speedy and victorious end. All
the powers of the kaiser will be used
in an effort to kill just as many Amer
leans as he can, to murder. to plunder
and to destroy. Those men who tol
crate agitators in their midst. those
who attempt to thwart the efforts OF
the administrator to deal a crushing
blow to Prussianism. are nothing
more nor less than valuable allies oil
the kaiser.
Although, among the great mass OF
patriotic citizens, these men are but
an insignificant minority, their oppo.
sition to the interests of the country
will mean that American boys must
remain in front of Prussian cannon
just little longer. Their acts are =
crime against every boy who is fight
ing for his country. against every
mother who is sacrificing in an eff.
fort to serve the nation.

Signing Diplomatic Notes.

No one can say exactly why our sec

municatiOns with their surnames only,
except that 1t has always been so. We
copied the custom from European chan
celleries, and it probably has its origin
In the habit of royalty, which Is to
sign with one name only. Thus King
George OF England signs himself
"George. X. L. 0ReX. lmperatOr-kins.
Emperor; Sir Edward Grey signed al
ways as Grey the democratic Mr..
Bryan when secretary Of state affixed
his signature to diplomatic notes as
Bryan" At first sight there seems to
be profound fattery implied In the
custom. 1t assumes that the signer
cannot be mistaken; that there Is only
one George" and "Grey." one "Bry-
an" And generally there is only one
in the diplomatic world where these
exchanges take place.-New York Sun.

Urges Dairy Production be Maintained

urges Dairy Production be Maintained
In new pamphlet issued by Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover
strong plea is made to prevent slaugh
ter OF dairy stock. Because of the
extremely high price of feed farmers
are showing q tendency to reduce
their herds.
In normal times, Mr.. Hoover's com
munication points out, the dairy sup.
plies OF the allies came largely from
western Scandinavia and Switzerland,
but under German pressure these sup
plies now are partly diverted to Ger
many. Consequently the allies are
sadly snort of dairy products and the
burden Of replacement falls upon
America
Statistics recently cleaned by Mr..
Hoover and his associates show that
the world is alarmingly deficient not
only in cattle, but in sheep. hogs and
other meat animals.
Since the war began, the worlds
supply OF cattle has been reduced 28,'
100000 head; sheep, 34000.000 head.
