Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully. If
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alzai- This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at

PROBLEM Of ROAD BUILDING
Highway Official Tells How Great
System Can Be euiIt-Flrst
Essential Equipment.

Thanks to the pushful, pervasive
mot0rcar, American road building has
got a move on" at last. There is every
where the cry for roads, for more roads
and for better roads. The drawback
has been that, as yet, there has been
no coordination of these multitudinous
enterprises, The president of the Ma
tional Highway association, Charles
Henry Davis, in a recent paper stated
that we spent last year $249, 1865, 967,
or more than two-thirds Of the total of
money expended so far on the con-
struction Of the Panama canal-for
roa,l improvements throughout the
country. Mr.. Davis contention is that
good roads, roads that run for thou
sards of miles through state after
state, are, properly, not the RESPONSE
biltty of the state, but of the nation,

system Of national roads joining the
West with the East, the North and the
South, connecting every part of the
country, as is the case with the ma
tional highways Of Europe, and, as
history shows, such as was the essen
tial equipment Of every frst-class pow
er Of the past.
How would such an enormous con.
struction be paid for and kept up?
"Suppose," asks this eminent engi-
neer, 1.-THE government built 100000
miles of properly planned roads, and
at the same time purchased, say, 800
feet Of land on either side. This land
would 80 continually increase in value
and in demand for leasing on long
rental, that the cost Of the road and
the land purchase would soon be paid.
A rental rate of $666 per acre would
pay the interest on the cost of con-
struction. But such would rent at
vastly higher rates in cities and towns,
high enough to give the nation an in
come equal to its total annual ex-
penditure," from these national high
ways alone!

IMMENSE COST or BAD ROADS
Farmers Allow $500. oo0, 900 to Escape
