THE CAPTToL's ARCHITECTURE

You drop down into a tunnel in the
basement of the House Building and
proceed through that tunnel into TIE
cellar of the Capitol, and there, taking
the direct airline route for Gardner's
office, you turn to the right and walk
along a corridor for quite a while and
then turn to the right again and walk
along another corridor for quite a
while and sight an elevator and hail it
and enter 1t and rise to TIE next level
and turn to the left and walk along a
corridor till you perspire gently and
turn to othe right and walk along a
corridor till you get your second wind
and find yourself in a tropical jungle
of massive squat pillars through which
you pick your way in generally left
wardly direction and at last emerge
and descend few steps and then de-
scend a large number of steps and
then descend a few steps more and
march perseveringly along a corridor
and turn briskly to the left and bound
up a flight of beautifully designed
steps and swerve sharply to the right
and stagger down a flight of charm
ingly executed steps into a dark hole
in which there are wooden partitions,
and there you are! That's Gardners
office.
All that the Capitol needs is to get
rid of the elevators and install a bat
terry of sure-footed mountain brrros

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole Gam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking. brignt, fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, 1t loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

London, November IL.

 The newspapers advices added that troops loyal to the provisional gov ernment are known to be near Petro- grad and a division of Cossacks is on the march from Finland. This news was given out at the Snlolny insti- tute, headquarters of the workmen's and soldiers congress.
