Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what vol
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely 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 teaspoonfuls
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, dandrun and
excessive OIL. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to. man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough 40

To win. the allies must smash Ger

not deceive ourselves or be misled by

must be fought out and be won or lost

But the time is come now in the United States when the man who begins lifc as a worker must make up his mind that as long as this system continues. so long will ne remain a worker.
 The old fallacy that every man who desired it could become < Rockefeller or a Hill or a Carnegie is vanishing exceedingly fast before the erosiyo analysis of common sense.

 II is fact that the natural waste and eytraydgance which IS to be noted in American industrial de- ! veIopmnut is nothing more or less than national tragedy.

trast to that of other currencies.
 On the other hand after the war in Europe will spring up a period Of intensified activity. It will be the period of reconstruction. And it will be the period of social as well as physical reconstruction, of that We may be fully asured.
 The millions who return from the trenches are not going back to their warrens and their tenements and their state of chronic starvation and exploitation when they have fully realized that it is not neces- sary.
 To think that these men will fly to evils that they know not of ill America or elsewhere instead of facing those and overcoming them in their own lands is to argue against all the laws of probabil- ities.
 They have been provided with an immensity of leisure time during the war and common report indi- cafes that the minds of those masses are moving in directions that they never assumed before It ts not from Europe that Am eraaau industrial chiefs will prob aly Iool, for relief. but it is rather to Asia.
 1t may be reasonably be expected that an effort will be made after the var to introduce coolie labor IInto America on a scale hitherto bitterly opposei. Yet already it has strong advocates in this coun- try who find in the docility indus try and thrift of the Chinese, Jap anese and Hindus a valid reason for their admission for tie benefit of employers.
 Tnquesti0nably there will be a strong and bitter fight on this pro position. But if it is true that after the war European immigra- tion will be marked by large fali- ing of, the industrial captains will turn towards Asia for relief.
 Nor are any questions of natlon. aiity likely to hamper them in the qualification oT their demand. The employers usually identify thei: welfare with the welfare of the ma tion alone. Their patriotism is 9 strictly caste patriotism which if II l serves them is well, if not it is se- i ditious and reasonable. Their ideas l are built up radically and funda- mentally upon their own economic welfare and if, as it is likely the; will so see it, Oriental labor Is considered a necessity to the i'm perialist commercial designs ol the American industrial oligarchy We may reasonably expect to see them bring about that condition. II may postpone a few seconds the inevitable.

sustaining power when eaten by those
undergoing great fatigue.
Scientific experiments carried out
with the aid of the ergograph-an in :
strument for registering accurately
variations of muscular power-show
that sugar gives an increase in phys
ical power ranging from 60 to IS per
cent
One OF the first observers to draw
attention to this virtue Of sugar was
physician who lived in Newcastle,
England.
It is not known. however, who In
vented or discovered sugar It has
been known since the dawn of history,
but not in all countries.
The invention of the first process
for refining sugar Is ascrbed to the
Arabs and Venetian merchant Is
said to have purchased the secret from
them and introduced tho process into
Sicily.
The over use of sugar however, is a
great cause Of i'll health, especially
among people who do not get enough
exercise daily. II is particularly harm
full when eaten in concentrated forms
such as candies.
One reason why sugar has a high
food value Is that it is readily utilized
for combustion, and If taken between
meals greatly increases the calories
and may lead to over nourishment.
