cation has five officers and 1877 men.

graphed the war department that he

self in many enlistments, and if this
is accepted 1t will make five.
General Logan has also offered a
battery to Mason City or Des Moines,
the selection to be determined upon
the quickness with which the cities
respond to the chance to secure a
new organization.
With these organizations mustered
in, Iowa will have a regimental or
ganization of it's artillery, with a
colonel and staff, band and all the
honor and glory which goes with a
state which has furnished a regiment
Of artillery where only a battalion
was expected.
Now that the Iowa national guard
is practically recruited to peace
strength, the clamor for new organi-
cations is increasing and it is esti-
mated that Iowa could soon organize
at least two and perhaps more regi-
ments Of infantry If the governm ent
would allow more volunteer organi-
cations TO be accepted, Nearly every
city which formerly had guard
company and many that never had
such an organization are asking for
new units, but these have to be re-
fused until permission for their or
ganization is permitted by the war
department.
From the multitude Of letters re-
ceived by the adjutant general one
gets in touch with the wave OF
patriotism which has swept over
Iowa. Innumerable offers Of services
have been received, particularly from
Grand Army men and citizens of the
smaller cities and tcwns.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 nilsitied, cocoanut
oil (wh-l 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
sibiy 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 scalp
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 mulsihed 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.
