Alkali in Soap
 Bad For 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 alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsi6ed cocoanut oil (which IS pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any,. thing else you can use. One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply mioisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family fer months.

BIRTH OF A NATION"
 OPENS ENGAGEMENT

D. w. Griffith's stupendous spec tacle, "The Birth Of Nation," will play return engagement at the Best theater today and tomorrow, with matinee Saturday.
 All over the country it. has dupli- cated the marvellous records made in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel- phia, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Baltimore, Washington, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Where return engagements have been played, the attendance was even larger, where that was possible, than the first times. Fifteen hundred performances have been given in New York city alone. Over 10,000,000 peo- pie have been thrilled by the won ders of the spectacle.
 Produced during the fiftieth anni- versary of the closing events of the civil war, the play offers an unusu- ally vivid portrayal of those epoch making events. It is just over half century since Lees surrender to Grant, and the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln in Ford's theater, Wash ington. Both those events, that stir red the nation to it's depths, are de- picted by MT. Griffith in so realistic a manner as to startle even that fast scattering few who were themselves a part of those momentuous days.
 The first half of the picture covers the entire period from 1860 to 1865, with massive battle scenes which by their horror accentuate the blessings of peace. The second half Mr. Grif- filth devotes to the soul-stirring drama of reconstruction. He shows the South in the clutch of the carpet bagger and how it was saved by the Scottish clans of the Carolinas. Here the dramatic power reaches it's ze- nth. The eyes of the spectators look backward 50 years and see history in the making. This wonderful spec. tacle is made still more impress 1e by the art of music, interpreted by 30 picked musicians. The manner of presentation increases the illusion of reality.
 This engagement will be the last opportunity to see "The Birth of a Nation" in this city.

EPlSCOPAL DIOCESE
 HIRES PRESS AGENT

Denver, May l0.-The dignified Episcopal diocese of Colorado has a press agent.
 It has come home to the churche es of the diocese that they need live ad- vertising just as much as any busi- ness enterprise. Therefore, Rev. $. R. s. Gray, pastor of Emmanuel church, and vicar of West Denver, has been named to do the work.
 He is not the sort of director of publicity" that writes reams of copy about the world-astounding, astonish- ing and amazing attractions of some oil we'll or gold mine rcircus or theatrical performance, but a hustl- ing, live wire writer, none the less, who tracks around to the newspaper offices and keeps the special services and other doings of Denver's various Episcopal houses of worship before the public

At the Casino.


Admirably clearly, and wholly en-
tertaining are the several numbers OF
the vaudeville being presented this
week at the Casino. Last evening the
large audience applauded and encored
all Of them. There was nothing espe-
cially new in any of the five acts but
they were presented considerably bet
ter than the usual run Of orthodox
variety" types.
In Behind the Scenes" Delmore and
Moore began in commonplace fashion.
but closed in a picture that is a very
clever bit Of darby comedy, their make
up and singing being all that could be
desired. Tom Mahoney. in Irish
speeches and songs was appreciated.
Brennan and Cleveland played and
sang and did patter talk that pleased.
Brown and Jackson were good in their
work, the male of the clever team do
ing lots of funny dancing the whole
length of him and his feminine COM
panion being charming in talk and
manner.
AT Ocean Beach is burlesque
sketch in which ten girls and men in
singing and dancing fill all the require
offerings. ''Patria" reaches the real
fighting stage in its fourteenth episode.
1.-THE Border Peril" War, built from
the reports of the real thing over the
seas, is spread over big landscape
and done well. The Claiming ranch
house falls before the invaders from
Mexico and things look dark for Texas.
Kinetoscopically it is a triumph.

TO FIX THE PRO ES OF FOOD.

The farmers are not to be blamed
for their. contention that their Oc:u-
patton was hazardous one and tha'
they were often discouraged recau
;ntv did not maze more than Nv
jig and profits were out OF the Gues-
ton. Their argument, when we
raise a big crop we get nothing Tor
it and when prices are high we nave
nothing to SELL has a substantial
foundation in the experience of alto
gether too many. The opinion is eH-
pressed in the highest economic
circles that governments should take
some action to make farming, the
basic industry, somewhat less or a
gamble. One or two nations have
taken action. The plan is for the
government to fix minimum prices
which will be paid for three OF four
of the staple crops. That Will make
an assured income
The fixing of minimum price IS
accomplished by the government
that is offered. England has already
adopted that policy and fixed the
minimum price for wheat at $3.50 a
bushel for the crops of this year.
This inspires farmers to do their
best, for it insures a reasonable
profit. There will be no fear of ov-
reproduction, of danger of specula-
tors running prices down below the
cost of production at the beginning
of the year and then raising them
after the farmer has sold. Canadian
farmers refused to agree to sell their
crop to the government for Sl.3p
which was the minimum to be fixed
there.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1917-05-03

when the census is taken listing
all able bodied young men for war
service, a list should be taken of ev-
eryone who has no visible means Of
support. These should be marked in
red ink and every mothers son of
them TAKEN" insists the Britt Tri-
bune. What a lot of noker playing,
crap shooting and confidence men
would be lined up. Any town of the
size of Britt could send in a list of
twenty who are not worth tinker's
execration for anything else. They
would take the place of someone who
does amount to something and be
obliged to earn their living anyhow.
The tramps would disappear and
why not? Can anyone tell why not?"
