Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition. be careful what you wash Il with.
Most soaps and prepared shsmpoos con-
tain too much alkau. This dries tho scalp.
makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful.
just plain mulsiaed cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely sreaseless). is much better
than tho most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. Is this
can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair With water
and rub II in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich. creamy
lather. and cleanses tho hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle Of dust, dirt
dnndruh. and excessive oil. Tho hair dries
quickly and evenly. and Il leaves II fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsiAed cocoanut oil at most
any drug store. Il Is very cheap. and =
few ounces is enough 20 last everyone in

AFTER CATTLE RUsrLERs.
Officials Getting Line On Purloin-
ers of Is Head Good Stock
From Prairie Farmers.

That a systematic filching Of
cattle belonging to farmers Of this
section has been going on for
some time was brought out dur
ing the past ten days, when the
herds were rounded up and count
ed and when several farmers miss
ed prime beef from their pastures.
1t is estimated that at least 25
head Of cattle have been taken.
Last week, Geo. w. Reinhardf,
OF east of town, missed two big
steers from his pasture and mott
fled Sheriff Paige of his loss. The
trail found BY the Officers show
ed clearly that the stock had been
driven off Following up this
search, cattle belonging to VIM.
and Henry Sullivan, Of northwest
of Nezperce, were found in the
stock yards at Kamiah. Evidence
procured connected Lew Kitchen
with the missing cattle. Kitchen
lives with his parents IN Lawyers 5
canyon and a search of the Winona
section last Sunday by deputy
Sheriff VIM. Henke, Geo. Rein
hardt. the Sullivan brothers and
Harry Dundas. of Westlake, an
other loser of stock, disclosed the
two Reinhardt steers with a herd
of Lew Kitchen 5 cattle and two
of the DundaS steers in the
Rosengrant s pasture. Mr.. Rosen-
grant. who is an extensive and
well known stock man in that Sec
tion, stated that he bought these
cattle from Kitchen.
A warrant has been issued for
Lew Kitchen, but he has left the
or is in hiding, and the
officers have not yet succeeded in
locating him. II is stated that
evidence secured win probably
lead to several arrests. The
Lewis county officials are de-
termined to leave nothing undone
to stop this cattle rustling in their
jurisdiction.
