Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkalL This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
Is very. harmful Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (which Is pure and
entirely greaseless). is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub IL in. One or two tea
spoonfuls 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. dandruR
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and II leaves IL

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble. about nine

of hydrochlOric acid in the stomach.
therefore stomach sufferers should
either avoid eating food that is acid

what they please in reason and then
counteract or Sweeten the sour acid
fermentation they create in their
stomach by taking Immediately after
the meal a teHspOonful of Bisurated
MagneSia in little hot or cold water
This will neutraliZe any excess acid

RICH HAUL OF PEARLS
Missouri Couple Garner $4,000
Worth From MusseIs.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Feb. 22.-Three years
ago Mrs. Bertha Scott was married
to Edward Bell, and the pair moved to
the husbands small farm on the up
per White river. There Mrs. Bell
spent much of her time fishing. One
morning she raked a musseI from
the stream and found in II a pearl the
size OF No. shot. Then she waded
in and soon had a bushel OF mussels
and garnered ten more pearls.
When she told her husband he ad-
vised that they collect as many as
possible before looking for a market.
They went pearl hunting together,
but Mrs. Bell had the better luck.
Her husband found only three or four
rather poor pearls, while she got
forty-one. some of them the size of
a pea and OF beautiful lustre.
"If you are offered $50 for the
bunch grab it," was her husbands
reply. So Mrs. Bell took the pearls
to Newport, No, the nearest possible
market. The jeweler there said he
could not afford TO buy them, but
that the regular New York buyer
would be in the next day.
Mrs. Bell called on the buyer at
his hotel. After testing and weighing
them the buyer said:
Twenty OF them are but little bet
ter than 'slugs' and are worth to me
only So each. The remainder weigh
about 760 grains. The bunch Is worth
to me S11 300"
Mrs Bell had sufficient self-control
to escape fainting and to say calmly
she guessed he could have them.

Similarly, II a member OF the House

DENT, a youthful House page, who

There have been outraged bowls in
the last few days when Congressional
dignity received unusually hard jars.
Townsend Protests vigorously.
For instance, when Senator Townsend.
of Michigan, coming from the White
House. essayed to enter the State. War
and Navy Building at the east door he
protested vigorously when denied ad-
mittance. but that didn't help him any.
The Senator was technically placed
under arrest and escorted TO the front
entrance. where Policeman Beam vouch-

Senator Oliver Of Pennsylvania had a
similar experience.

fact that he was chairman OF the DEM

II members of Congress enter the

and they single out the members before

them. But woe to the member who at

doors. The main entrance is the only
one where one without a pass may
enter.
Some of the members of the House
are too modest" Page Denit said to-
day, recounting his experiences since
the war censorship was imposed.
Sometimes before l can get to them
they line up at the desk, just like
ordinary citizens, and start writing
out applications for trip passes

Red Tape Plentiful
The plain citizen finds himself
bound tight with red tape when he
tries to get into the State, War and
Navy Departments on business. First
he must state his business. then he
must write out an application for per-
mission to enter. and then, IL he can
show a good case. he is escorted by
a messenger to the officer he seeks.
His pass is stamped with the time
he enters the building. The mes
senger is there to see that the visl-

Is surrendered the time of the visi-
