DISCIPLE TELLS
OF PIONEER DAYS

Dramas of the early. days in the
West have ever had a fascination for
the followers of things theatrical. At
the Hawaii theater the early-week Of
fering, %Ths Disciple" deals with the
days when civilization was gradually
absorbing that great stretch of eoun-
try lying west OF the Rockies: when
the missionary travelled with pair OF
six-shooters within handy calling dis
tance-and knew how TO use them.
William s. Hart's work as the pio-
neer missionary Is exceptionally good.
as also Is that Of Dorothy Dalton in
the role OF his wife. The missionary
is all that could be expected Of such
character, while his wife is shall
low, feather-braiHed Individual who
leaves her child and worthy husband
for a saloonkeeper-gambler.
Naturally, there comes to the wo--
man an awakening in which she real
izes her error and can see the dill
ference between the two men. II Is
then the strength of the missionary is
shcwn, in a climax that Is long con-
tinuation of thrills and one which
comes swift and unexpected. II is q
strong drama.

Temptation, is q riot This Key

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For WASHING Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
D Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
'icocoanut oil (Which is pure and entire
ly greaseless). is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
YOU can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls 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 ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
