Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
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 plain null
sihed cocoanut OIL for it is pure and
entirely greaseless, It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing 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 thor
oughly, and rinses out easily The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandrutf.

FOOTBALL FANS
Want TITLE GAME
Would See Georgia Tech
and Pittsburgh Mix
on Gridiron
fRv Associated Press.l

New York, Nov. .21.-Eastern foot
ball followers are hoping that the
present unusual war conditions may
result in a game for the benefit of the
American Red Cross fund which will
realize the ambition of many seasons
for an International championship
gridiron battle. Three sections of the
states this year have college elevens
which stand out above their riva>- at
this writing, and contest between
any two of the l. 10 would arouse
great interest If played at large city
in any one of the sections.
Notwithstanding the restrictions
and handicaps which have surrounded
the development of college football
teams this season. the south has pro-
duced a remarkable eleven in the
Georgia Institute of Technology COM
bination. The east. has two in the
University of Pittsburgh and the u, S.
Naval academy teams, while the mid
die west is ably represented by the
University of Michigan and one or
more of the conference college squads.
For various reasons both Michigan
and the Navy teams appear TO be
eliminated from post-season Red
Cross contests, but football enthuss-
asts are hoping that the efforts to
bring abou a match between Georgia
Tech. and Pittsburgh may meet with
success Such a game should rebound
to the benefit of the fund and the
sport.

HALF time ONLY FOR
men IN LUMBER CAMPS
Lumherjacks Loaf the Other Half
Because of High Wages
Paid,

st. Paul, Mimi. Nov. 21.-A
peculiar labor situation is curtail-
ing logging operations, State For
ester w. T. Cox said on his return
from an inspection trip in northern
Minnesota '
Conditions are made more serious,
he added, because of the importance
Of pushing logging to supply the war
demand for timber and lumber.
The labor supply is there" Mr..
Cox said, but the lumberjacks re-
fuse to work more than half OF the
time. This is because OF the high
wages paid.
Logging companies are now pay
ing men as high as SIS a month and
furnishing the best board ever known
in the camps, compared to an aver
age of $50 a month a few years ago
and as low as $12 a month in 1914.
THE result, however, is that many
men work a few days to get stake
and then loaf until their money is
gone and they are forced to go into
the woods for a few days more.
Forester Cox said he will continue
his investigation into the causes or
the situation and later may call the
conditions to the attention Of the
Public Safety commission.
