Use C0cOanut Oil
for Washing Hair

lr 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 mulsificd
cocoanut oil (Which Is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampQoing. 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 abundance of rich, creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. 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 1t fine and silky, bright. fluffy
and easy to manage. 81.
You can get mulsified cOc0anut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap and q few ounces is enough TO
last everyone in the family for months,

STRIKE / IS Off
Magnates Pledged Not to
Discriminate Against
Players Fraternity.

New York, Feb. 14.-Thcre will be no
strike of baseball players this year.
This ending Of long CONTROVERSY
was assured tonight when President
David l.. Fultz of the Baseball Play
ars' fraternity issued here the fol-
towing statement:
Owing to the unfair position In
which the major league owners have
been placed in the present baseball
conroversey between owners and play.
crs, the fraternity has submitted to
owners the following proposal:
ITO release all players from their
pledges not to sign contracts upon the
understanding that the owners will not
discriminate against fraternity players
or discipline them for thcii. loyalty to
the fraternity in observing their
pledges"
Early in the day Manager McGraw
of the New York Nationals and Presi-
dent Tultz, held conference at which
the fraternity executive said that il
assured the members of the fraternity
would not be Disseminated against, he
would release the men from their
pledges.
McGraw explained the situation to
President Tcner Of the National
league, who said:
You can assure Mr.. F'utz that l
give my word of honor that the Ma
tional league will not discriminate in
any way against any ball player be-
cause of his connection with the fra
ternity.'
When President johnson of the
American league was informed of the
action taken by President Tcner, he
said:
80 far as the fraternity is con-
ccrncd we give no assurances. All of
our players look alike to u.s. About IS
per cent of them have signed 1917 con-
tracts and ii the men come along to
their training quarters, well and good.
Chat is all the assurance that the
American league will give"
Chairman Hermann Of the National
commission stated that there was
! clause in all the major league con-
Tracts for 1917. which protected the
| players from discrimination on. ac-
! count of membership in the fraternity
and both of the major league presi-
dents also called attention to this fact.

something TO the child.
Directly across from them two men
had found seats. The train had gone
but a short distance when the little
girl became friendly with the men
while the mother apparently was un-
conscious Of It.
Presently the mother looked up and
at the same time put her hand into a
small bag She carried, pulled out Bill
and gave ii TO the child who in turn
handed It to one Of the men, asking
him to please change it, which he
readily did.
At the next station mother and child
left the train.
AS he saw the two hurry through
the exit to the street, after waving the
little girl good-by, the companion Of
the man who had changed the bill
said
''Let me look at that note; 1t just
struck me there may be something

They examined it. He was right. II
