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 it.
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 it
in. It makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and a
few ounces will supply every member
Of tho family for months.

DEMAND FOR FISH HELPS SEWARD

Increasing demand for fish in the States, together with the successful prospecting of habut banks contgu Seward indicate the future success of this place fishing center.
 With halbut at fourteen cents the Seattle market shown by yesterdays quotations, it only question of time before the fishermen will come north to take advan tage of these heretofore untouched banks
 Just at present the demand for salmon by canneries in all directions for fishermen is such that the halibut banks or less neglected but fishermen will be attracted by the demand and this situation will prob ably solve itself next year.
 While the local and Prince William salmon grounds are known specially for the large runs of silver and pnks every cannery in the district was able to put up consider able pack of reds the local concern getting two thou sand cases in spite of numerous handicaps Reds bring unheard of prices in the market result of de- mands and every thousand cases is equivalent to young fortune.
 Just what the pack will be from the coming runs of the plentiful varieties of salmon cannot be predicted but is safe say big returns expected estimates be- ing made on runs in the streams on previous years.

ALASKA NATIONAL GUARD

Since the recent announcement that there would be or ganized an Alaska National Guard there has been less speculation regarding the duties which will devOlve upon the body after it's organization There is also some question as to the ages at which will be considered eligible.
 It is not thought probable that will be organized by any different method than similar organizations in the States AS national guard units in the various common weahs are recruited by volunteers it is likely that the same method will be used in Alaska It Is likely that any abeboded American the age of eighteen years whO is able pass the physical examination will be accepted Formerly only those between eighteen and thryVe were eligible but since the break with Germany this limit has been taken off by an executive order both in the national guard and the regular army
 Therefore, large percentage of those who drill ing in the towns throughout the territory will be able to enroll themselves in the guard without much difficulty, Any town section that raise the required number off desirable candidates can secure company until the Alas ka quota is filled out.
 The duties of the Alaska National Guard may not bel identical with the units from the States These Organza tOns at present serving under the federal govern ment and under federal oath similar to the one under which the regulars serve There is practically dstinc
 on between the regulars and the national guard of the States under the present conditions It is believed how ever that will be the wish of the to call the Alaska quota to the federal cOors unless the need for men should become acute than is today There is su cn work in Alaska for her guardsmen to look after It
 possible that they might be called to take the place the regulars stationed in Alaska and the du
