Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully
II 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 ereaselesS), 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
1t 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 ii 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
few ounces will supply every mem

MILWAUKEE TRAIN GOES
IN DITCH; NONE HURT
Columbian Wrecked Near
Huson-Passengers Mir
aculously Escape.

Five coaches were piled up and the
occupants were badly shaken when
the rear end of the west bound Mil
Waukee Columbian train struck a de-
tective rail near Huson, % miles west
of Missoula, yesterday morning short
ly after ) o'clock.
That the accident was unusual is
shown in the fact that not one OF the
passengers in the derailed coaches was
injured. The steel construction of the
cars is given by the officials as the
reason.
Train Was Going Fast.
According to passengers, the acct
dent occurred when the train was
travelling about 81 miles an hour. The
train was several hours late getting
out of Missoua and most of the pas
sengers had just retired when the
dining ear struck a rail which evil
section of the train passed over.
The dining car and one of the
sleepers jumped the track and bumped
along in an upright position for more
than 100 feet. Two other sleepers and
the observation car were thrown into
the ditch and against the high bank.
The only Missoula people on the
train We're Miss Mabel Terry. stenog
rapher for the Mssoula Light and
Mater company, and Herbert Foster
formerly chief clerk for the Mil
Waukee railroad here. Most of the
passengers We're brought back to Mis-
soula. where they waited for the
plympian. which was routed west over
the Northern Pacific tracks.
\ flaw in the very center of the
rail was the cause of the accident, ac-
cordng to T.. *. Swan. travelling
freight and passenger agent, for the
company. Mr. Swan was on the train
when the accident occurred. He pointed
out that the flaw was in such n posi-
ton that it was Impossible to discover
it when it was inspected.

"Dave," he said, rising to stand over
the square-built man in the swing
chair, "it's like pulling a sound tooth
to have to tell you the plain truth.
You've got a mighty bad case Of
money-rot. The profit account has
grown so big with you that you can't
see over the top of it. You've horsed
back and forth between Stanton's out
fit and ours until you can't tell the
difference between your old friends
and bunch of low-down, conscience
less land-pirates. You pull your gun
and go to shooting whenever you get
ready. Well stay with you and try
to hold up our end-and Johns. And
you mark my words, Dave: you're the
man that's going to get left in this
deal; the straddler always gets left"
And with that he cut the interview
short and went back to the High Line
offices on the upper floor.

ZAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two prOclamatiOnS. One was a pro-
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other command for the bankers of
the city to assemble for a conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confisca-
ton of their deposits. Only a few
days before the armies of General Car
rama had collected forced loan" of
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader?
Zapata's speech was short and to
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. | want $4,000 pesos
to feed them for few days. You will
pay this. l promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
full to escape with such modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months the city was
better pOliced than it has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico But this is the strange part
of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of contiscation
which has bled the business men Of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.

She rose and pressed the bell push,
and when the floor boy came, he was

ing the little wait, David Kinzie was
skillfully made to talk about other
things. Jibbey was easily found, as 1t

"Mr. Kinzie, this is Mr.. Tucker Jib-
