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 aIkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsified coooanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this cant pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One Oh two teaspoonfuls
viii 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,
dsndruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsihed ~cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. Its very cheap,
and a few ounces is fenough to last
everyone in the family for months.

the second floor. The decoration
scheme for the windows was gold
and white, n of the windows show
ing the latest in mans wear and the
other of women's apparel, while in
the center was shown twentieth cen
fury Grapes.
The models for the style show were
local young women and each model

the fashions of today. Something like
500 people were accommodated at
each performance Of the style show.
More could have been accommodated
had the elevator been in working or
der.
An orchestra played from 7:30 to
1890 O'Clock, and there were floral
offerings presented the new store

houses. One feature which was adj

The Scarlet Letter.

Many wonderful lighting effects are
to be seen in William Fox's film pro
duction of Hawthorne's THE Scarlet
Letter." Those hailed as particularly
beautiful-from a Photographic stand
point-are the burning OF the witch
and the march of the Puritans to
seize Hester Prynne. Both are night
scenes.
The execution of Mistress Hibbens
is unusually vivid. Packed around the
blazing fire is a mob of frenZied
Puritans who heap on wood to keep
the death fire burning. In the mid
die of the flames a be seen the body
of the woman who was too eccentric
for her time.
The torch-lit raid through the thick
dark woods offered Georges Benoit a
rare opportunity to show his skill as
a camera man. The film is a work
of art. The bright flare of the torches
Pickering among the trees battles the
little squad OF people in a ghostly
light. No more realistic night scene in
which a heavy growth OF trees made
added difficulties has yer been made.
The Scarlet Letter, adapted from
Hawthorne's greatest liter
airy achievement, admittedly the
greatest American novel, has been
by every student of American
literature for one-half century or
more. Here is your opportunity TO
see the wonderful play at the Hippo
drome theatre tonight at bargain
prices. 5 and Observation-Disclosures.

Ringing Bells Announce to the Wait

CROWDS READ BULLETIN
Cheer When It Became Known That
the United States Had Decided
on War-FIags Adorn
Streets.
CROWDS READ

The ringing OF the fire bells at
! 500 o'clock this morning announced
to the waiting people of Keokuk the
momentous news that the United
| States was at war with Germany, as
the ringing fire bells have announced
two other wars on April mornings In
years past.
Gate City bulletins telling of the
action of the United States house OF
representatives and the initial move
of wal were placed on display on the
bulletin board IN front Of the office
under a streamer bearing the words
war Declared" as soon as they
were received over the United Press
Leased Wire and they were eagerly
read by a crowd that quickly as,
sembled when the fire bells were
rung.
When it was realized hat the
United States had decided on war,
the crowd cheered. All morning
long people lowered about the news
board, scanning the dispatches.
No ooner had the fire bells an
nounced the news to the city than
flags began TO appear up and down
Main street as if by magic. Almost
everybody on the street wore a flag
or some sort of a patriotic emblem
on his lapel.
The wal was the great topic Of con
%yersation about the city today. 1t
! was discussed on every corner, in
every shop and home. The news was
received calmly and there was little
display mfke and yet the spirit OF
patriotism burned as warmly in the
hearts Of Keokuk people as in any in
the land.
Keokuk has done her share by the
| state and the union in the past and
can be confidently depended upon 10
do her share again. The greatest
crisis in the history of the United
| States will find Keokuk and her PEG
Pile ready to do their bit in the war
for democracy.
The city has been prepared for the
news and will not shirk now that the
| hour OF destiny has struck. Local
residents are well informed as to the
| reasons and causes OF the war and
they realize that it is a step that
! could not be averted.

the only shell that ever does any
harm To you is the one which bursts
directly beneath your machine, and
which, therefore, you do not see cx-

which blossom out around you are
perfectly harmless. At the worst n
