Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampooa
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just pla.i
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure
and entirely greaseless. Its very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything 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 lather
.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 dan.
druff.

These 2,000 men could be employed
year in and year out at such work by
putting them at grading work in the

doing in Colorado, in the Winter time.
These 1900 men could earn $4,000

Thy "Anuric" IS an
IN SUR nee
Against SuddeniD Death.

Before an Insurance Company Will
take 4 risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. o. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains Of lumhago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, iull
Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times q night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-such as Or. Pierce of the
Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. y. Send him 10 cents for

vAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.

"Anuric" is tho most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration OF the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.

life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.

keep of each man and would furnish
healthy outdoor work for c0nyicts.
This would redeem and reform about
so per cent. of them and there is fifty
years work ahead for all of the men
the government could possibly put n
this sort of work
Senator Shafroth. of Colorado, has
introduced such n bill in Congress and
it is to be hoped that the nation will
see fit, instead of locking its Federal
prisoners up in prisons and allowing
them 10 degenerate on account of lack
OF work, to take advantage of law
such as above mentioned and put
these men at work developing the
most wonderful system of natural
parks in the world
With roads through these national
parks and on these forest reserves,
their value would be increased un-
told millions and they would be the
means OF giving outdoor recreation 10
millions CT our own citizens and Of
keeping at home millions of our dol
lars that before the war went to Eur
ope. and would again go there when
the war is finished
The government by simply adopt
ing Colorado's system can utilize this
vast amount of labor in the develop
ment OF these wonderful assets that
are now lying undeyeloped through
out the nation
Not only could these men construct
roads in the national parks and for
est reserves. but could build military
roads where necessary With the
scarcity OF labor now prevailing it
seems a burning shame that the tax
payers Of the nation should have to
maintain so many able-bodied men in
idleness when these men should be
lettering their own condition and en-
riching the nation by outdoor work as
above outlined.
