Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is very
as 1t 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 expen-
sive soaps or any thing else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy iather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and Is soft, fresh-looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and

"why?"
He sat forward on the edge Of his chair
and told her Of the students at the university,
who were being fired by some powerful voice
OF the disappearance of the two spies of the
evidence that the Committee of Ten was
meeting again and the failure to discover
their meeting place of disaffection among
the people, according to the reports OF his
agents And then to the real purpose of the
visit. Karl of Karnia had. unofficially. pro-
posed for the Princess Hedwig. He had
himself broached the matter to the King,
who had at least taken 1t under advisement.
The Archduchess listened rather pale. There
was no mistaking the urgency in the Chan
cellor's voice.
Madame, after centuries of independence
we face a crisis which we cannot meet

United. we could stand against the world.
But divided kingdom, a disoyal and dis
contented people, spells the end"
And at last he convinced her. But. be-
cause she was built of contrary mold, she
voiced an objection, not to the scheme. but
to Karl himself. II dislike him. He Is
arrogant and stupid"
But powerful. madame And-what else
Is there to do?"
There was nothing else. and she knew It,
But she refused to broach the matter to He'd
wig.
She stated and perhaps not without rea-
son. that, such a move to damn the
whole thing at once. She did not use ex-
actly these words but their royal equiva-
+ lent. And It ended with the Chancellor,
looking most ferocious but inwardy uneasy,
undertaking to put, as one may say, a flea
into the Princess Hedwig's small ear.
As he strode out, the door into the next
room closed quietly.
