"The note received last night fore
shadows an era of slaughter and

the world has yet witnessed and brings
home the necessity for the efforts OF
the president to check further slaugh-

His View of Submarines.

HIS view OF Submar1nes.
In his address Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg explained why in March
and May of last year he had opposed
unrestricted submarine war and why
again in September, according to the
unanimous judgment Of the political
and military authorities the question
was not considered ripe for decision"
In this connection the chancellor re-
peated his previous utterance that as
soon as he, in agreement with the su-
preme army command. reached the
conviction that ruthless submarine war
would bring Germany nearer VIC
torious peace then the U-boat war
would be started.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully
IL you want to keep your hair looking
its 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 bette,
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 il
in. 1t 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 al

few ounces win supply every member
Of the family for months.
