Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just plain smul-
sified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless It's very cheap. and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces You can get this
at any drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water and
rub 1t in, about a teaspoonful is all that
is required. 1t makes an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather. cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft. fresh
looking, bright. fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, 1t loosens and takes
out every particle of dust. dirt and dan
druff.-Adv.

Food and Fuel Control.

At last. Thank Heaven, Congress
has removed itself from the path of
the nations progress, and permits the
exercise of restraint upon its pets, the
food and fuel pirates and the booze
highwaymen.
President Wilson has been given the
power demanded for him by the peo-
rle, and is held to full responsibility.
We are no longer looking to the Reeds,
renroses and La Follettes for the con-
duct of the country's most vital af-
fairs We are looking to Woodrow
Wilson, a man, today, with such tre-
mendous powers as never conferred
upon a President. as no other man on
earth holds at this time.
Certain it is that the country is
safer today than yesterday because of
the great task put upon the President,
for however badly he may riuddle the
lob, his record cannot be as bad as
that of Congress which has held the
country at the merciless hands of
trade and gambling cutthroats for
many weeks while it exercised all its
available idiocy and pretext.
Now let President Wilson go ahead
with the suppression of greed and re-
lieve the public. The spectators and
gamblers, and market manipulators,
and booze hogs have had their share;
give honest producers and buyers a
show. Turn Hoover loose with
hacking power that will not quail be-
fore the peas and threats of selfish
and traitorous interests.
Let the people expect much and de-
mand much Of the man it has en-
trusted with extraordinary power
Producers of the country responded
beyond all expectation to the govern
ment's urgings to plant and SOW and
produce. On the governments pro-
lection from loss depends next years
response. Or, if producers must lose
on their seasons efforts, let it be into
the homes of consumers instead Of
into the hands of speculative highway
men. That much we demand of our
powerful President.

INTESTINAL Worms
STOMACH WORMS

Do your children show symptoms of
worms? Do they eat at times with alb
normal hunger, and again show loss of
appetite? Are they more or less fretful
and irritable with occasional fever and
ftful sleep at night, gritting the teeth
and tossing restlessly?
If so, look out for worms, so COM
mon in young children, SO often the
undecided cause of anxiety to parents.
For sixty years, Il. F." Atwood's Medi-
cine has proved valuable remedy for
worms in childhood, and many mother
can testify to its merits in relieving her
children when suffering with these dis
tressing symptoms. Safe and reliable,

Why Not Stop IL?

Once more the danger Of electric
coal freightase down Rines Hill into a
narrow business street has been dem
onstrated. Several times in recent
months great coal cars beyond control
have charged into the busiest section
OF the city at express speed and the
weight OF an avalanche. Up to this
time no loss Of human life has re-
suited but escapes on more than one
occasion have been miraculous.
Thursdays accident warns the city's
government and residents Of inevi-
table disaster to come unless certain
practices are discontinued.
First. II the street railway company
is to be permitted to carry on a freight
business that is a standing menace to
life ard property in the business Sec
ton, it should confne such traffic to
hours when other traffic and street
activities are at the lightest of the "A
hours: and then the police should be
notified in advance so that any traffic
on the street at that time may be
warned
Second. the team that was caught by
the flying freight car. Thursday, could
have escaped had not the street been
lined with parked automobiles. Nor
did the auto driver whose car was
damaged, have a fair show Of getting
out OF the way. And thus we reach
the conclusion that II the freight men
ace is to be permitted, then the park
ing OF automobiles along both sides of
our narrow business thoroughfafe
should be ended by enforcement of the
trafic rules.
Certainly there should be a last
time to this hurting of a great mass of
steel. iron and coal into the contested
mass OF cars, automobiles, teams and
pedestrians. in the busiest hours of
the day. II the electric railway man
agenaent cannot put on sufficient emp
ty cars to be sure Of holding their
heavily laden freights down the hill
then such trafic should be discon-
tinued.

Koreans are great rumor- mongers.
Some stories they spread are fantasia
cally absurd. One recently prevailing
among the country people, because no
rain fell for many days, was to the eff
feet that the long drought was due to
German influence with the gods, in re-
venge for the part Japan has taken in
the war. Predictions of famine were
current among the Korean farmers
and recent heavy rainfall has not al
together removed the anxiety felt
among that class of people on the
peninsula. But. after all, WE could
almost believe that the Kaiser Is in
league with potato bugs.

Why President Wilson should have
chosen to make a confident Of Senator
Lewis Of Illinois, is not c!ear-unless he
did it because he was sure the Senator
would blab. Through that leaky vessel,
at all events, the public is informed that
the White House thinks that Congress
should finish up its extra session work
by September l. 1t is tactfully explained
that the President feels that Representa-

Why National Prohibition?

Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts writes from
Washington:
We must :. the liquor evil ma.
tionaiiy because it fights nationality.
In 1906, local option" was the method
except in three northern States, Maine,
Kansas, North Dakota. Why was that
method given up in 1907 and since in
twenty-five additional States? 1t
was because the liquor traffic would
not fight locally. 1t was as II the peo-
pie of Yorktown had been left to flght
CORVALLIS with local forces only on
one side, and national on the other.
When small towns went dry" the
Liquor Interests. entrenched in the
county seat. did not accept the verdict
of the majority vote but sent their adj
vertisements, their solicitors and their
liquors to speak easies and brothels,
and bribed officials. and then cited
their defiance of law as a reason for
giving up the fight. Then local op-
tionists extended the fight to the
county. but liquor interests kept up
their attack from the State metropolis.
and when States went dry they
were attacked from wet" States.
And all these fights. local, county
and State. were MANAGED LIKE
THE GERMAN SUBMARINE CAM
PAIGN AND THE GERMAN SPY
SYSTEM by the stealthy and mighty
Central Powers"-the beer and
vhiskey trusts-which we must fight
to the finish nationally and interna-
tionally or lie down under the worlds
most horrible tyranny, which has
scheduled every influential man in
system for political or commercial
death or abject submission. The beer
tarons boosted that in the States
where beer is influential. from Ohio
westward. they killed politically every
official who took a leading part in the
prohibition advance of 19078. 1t is
not alone to protect the home and
honest business that liquor traffic
must be dethroned, but yet more to
protect democracy against reasonable
despotism.
Because such a matter can not be
left in statutes. open to assaults. of
that Invisible Government" that has
twice in this Session of Congress re-
versed overnight statutory votes in
the United States Senate against beer
first. and whiskey later. For political
peace and purity we must put our de-
cree against the Drink Curse in the
citadel of the Constitution where it
can rot be reversed except by the de-
liberate choice of three fourths of the
Legislatures that will doubtless place
il there within six years to protect
effectively the home and honest bust
ness and civil liberty against their
chief foe. Surely the attitude of the
national Government toward such a
physical and moral and commercial
and political Destroyer should be not
one of revenue partnership but of
PROHIBITION.
