Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
IL you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified 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 teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub &c
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle OF dust, dirt,
dandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and IL leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

to manage.

and the navy department expects a
full report.
Among the days official dispatches
was one from officials in the Philip
pines saying that the crews OF war
bound German vessels in Philippine
ports had tried to disable their ships
by tampering with the machinery.
The message said adequate steps had
been taken to meet the development
but did not go into details. There are

ports, IL of them> at Manila.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt adj
vised the navy department that he and
Major General Barnett, commandment
of the marine corps would hasten
home in view of the international sit
uation, abandoning the remainder of
their tour OF Haiti and Santo Do
mingo. They will sail north on the
collier Neptune which should sail
for American waters next Tuesday.
Additional precautionary measures
were reported from Guam and from
New Orleans. Captain Roy Smith,
governor of Guam said that he had
made arrangements for the adequate
protection of the German gunboat
Cormorant interned there. Reports
from New Orleans said German war
bound steamers in that port had been
towed into mid-stream and anchored
for the purpose OF cutting off shore
communication and also to protect the
dock in case OF fire or explosion.
Navy wireless censors in charge of
the various coast line stations were
instructed to exercise UNUSUAL precau-
ton and to refer to the department
proper every message about which
they had the slightest doubt. They
were specifically warned to keep in
formation which might be of military

Inclement weather yesterday after
noon and evening failed to deter large
crowds from attending the fourth Of
the series Of community concerts at
the Fargo auditorium in the afternoon
rendered under the auspices of the
Dakota conservatory OF music, and the
regular number of the Grand Free

lists, Mrs. E. r. Wright, soprano;
Norman B. Black, baritone; and Miss
Bertha Hagen, pianist.
That both concerts were considelA

reported.
At the Auditorium.
The concert at. the auditorium in
the afternoon, rendered largely by
student talent of the Dakota conserv-
atory Of music. under the direction Of
Prof. A. e. Boehmer, was especially
featured by the work of Miss AIDA
Blakeslee's vocal class. In several
numbers the pupils did themselves
proud.
Two violin numbers by Nels sas-
serson, two selections by George
Hruschka, lyric soprano, one number
by Miss Ethel Moen, pianist, a read
ing by Mrs. e. CHASER, vocal solos by
Miss Mabel Dainard, Miss Mildred
Scott and c. L. Thomas and an excel

Edelbrock were pleasing and notewor-

gen, were at their best in the even
ing concert at the Grand. their duets

The failure Of Miss Hagen to play a
solo number, which had been placed
on the grogram, was q keen disap-

precautionary measure now thought
advisable already taken the war and

Secretary Baker and Secretary
Daniels were at their offices during
the day. The latter conferred with
Admiral Benson, chief of operations.
Later it was learned that several Of
the many rumors afioat yesterday and
today have been investigated and
found unfounded.
One of these was the report that
the destroyer Jacob Jones at the Phil
adelphia navy yard had come to her
dock in a sinking condition and that
a number Of her crew had been put
in irons for having opened her sea
valves in an attempt to sink her.
Admiral Benson explained that the

to work properly and that the dis
charge valves had acted as syphons.

water into the ship before 1t was

Another oficial report said that the
crews OF the interned German raid

Eitel Frederick at the Philadelphia

Russell, commandant at the yard re-
ported by telephone that he had TAX
en- adequate precautions to protect the
ships, but had not found it necessary

navy yards be promptly investigated.
