CARELESS USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

X X x X x x = x x X x x X X X
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 alkali. This
dries the scalp makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified coeoanut 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. 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 fair fine and
silky, bright, Iustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it s very cheap, and a
few ounces win supply every member
of the family for months.

A POWERFUL EDITORIAL

Yesterday morning the Oregonian had an editorial
condemnng the legislature for indefinitely postponing
house bill 67 which had for its object the doing away with
petition frauds The editorial peculiar for the Ore
gonan in that it actually ndorsed something advocated
by U'Ren 1t evidently forceful effusion, for it
recommended that though the bill had been indefinitely
postponed which under the rules of the senate precude
it being further considered at this session. the vote by
which had been put to bed but not to sleep be recon
sidered In ten hours after that editorial was read IN
Salem the senate by an unanimous vote followed the ad
vice therein given and the vote reconsdered and
house bill 81 is again the calendar It is remarkable
example of the power of the press AS there is another
editorial in the same issue opposing the passage Of the
antcgarette BILL which should the users OF the
breve smokes to take heart of grace The antcgarete

one just mentioned will be serized and made to apply

CHAPTER CXLIT.

One day as we sat chatting on the
porch there was crash, groan,
then a series of shrieks that brought
us all running into the house. At the
foot of the stairs lay Mandy, moaning
and groaning dismally:
t'Fo' de Lord, 1 'se don bruk my lag!
Oh, Lordy, I gwan to die, isl" she
hallooed as she writhed in pain.
We picked her up and carried her
into the library and laid her on the
lounge, then telephoned for the doctor
1t took all of us to lift her, and we
didn't dare to attempt the stairs.
"Her leg is broken all right, the
doctor told us. Mandy heard what he
said with fear and dismay.

cut her leg off, but frightened her by
telling her that if she wasn't good and

"She's only an ignorant child and
has to be treated as such,' he told
mother when she objected to Mandy
being made unhappy.

BoPP's BAIL RAISED

San Francisco, Feb. s.-United States
District Judge Hunt today raised the
bail of Franz Bopp, former German con-
sui general, and associates convicted of
neutrality violation from $4,000 to
$25,000 each. This action was taken
on motion of Attorney Preston who said
the severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
warranted it.
Theodore Roche, chief counsel for the
defendants said they would be unable
to raise the bail and would have to go
to Jail.

The Oregonian thinks, and very properly, that it is
not the province of the legislature to fix salaries tor
county officials other acts of that kind pertaining
strictly to locality 1t asks why the legislature
should be better qualified to fix the pay of county Of
court or by vote AS matter of fact it is not quail
fled Instead the member of the legislature from the
county comes down to Salem with Instructions as to the
salary the people want the official to have and the egls
are wastes time it could put to better purpose telling
these people they have what they want At the same

Some Little Stories and
Gossip of the Legislature
+++++++++++ ~ " +*+***++*++

The consolidation bills are being sent
in by the committee, and this with the
sidetraeking of the bin creating Cas-
eade county, caused Dimick to smile
yesterday for at least 80 seconds. The
map he hauled on the senators while
discussing the bill might have served
as one of Verdun in its busiest days.
1t was done in CORY colors so far as
the proposed Cascade county was con
eerned, but Claekamas was left a pure
white color, or lack of it, peculiarly
fitting to its political purity as the
home of the Oregon law giver, the only
U 'Ren. That was why Dimick smiled.
He realized that the gore was wiped
eff the map of Clackamas and that
pump handle so generously left for
Multhomah county to grab later was
again safe. If you ever saw thor
oughbred terrier having a seancc with
a rat, YOU will know just how Dimiek
handled that new county and the gen
tlemen who were sponsors for it. When
the Clackamas senator got in action Col.
Mercer could not approach the ther-
mometer that hangs near Dimiek S seat,
for II was well within the danger zone.
Instead he went over to the west win
dows and famed himself.
Senator Ninton is another that when
he erupts makes Lassen seem like a
smouldering cigar stub. He gets in real
earnest and is under full speed as
quickly as motor boat, and his words
come with snap and rapidity similar
to the exhaust of motorcycle. Vinton
has in connection with his rapio tire
delivery tang to his voice that makes
one think of an old fashioned camp
meeting exhortcr. The suggestion is 50
foreible that one involuntarily reaches
! in his pocket and looks for the con.

tribution box. He generally talks good
hard sense, and he can sure crowd lots
of il into a small period Of time.
One Of the most annoying things
President Moser has to contend with is
the lack of attention of the senators
during roll call. Even with their own
bills being voted on some Of them will
have their names called twice and some
times oftener before they answer, and
then may have to ask what bill is up,
or what is being voted on. Another
cause of delay is the lack of confidence
the senators have in each other. On
nearly every bill from two to half doz-
en- usually get endwise at their desks to
explain the bill to the Others. If they
would mutually agree that the other
fellow knew enough to come in out of
the rain much time would be saved.

GRANDMOTHER'S BOTANIC MEDI.

In every pioneer home the botanic
recipes Of our grandmothers for the
treatment of disease were wonder
fully dependable. Every fall she gath
cred her various herbs: thoroughwort,
camomile, sage, pennyroyal, worm
wood, rue, etc. 1t is interesting to
note that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, the most successful
remedy for female ills we have, was
originally prepared for home use
from one of these botanic recipes, and
the demand for this famous medicine
has grown until over 100000
pounds of roots and herbs are used
annually in its preparation. 1t will
well repay any woman who suffers
from female ills to give this famous
medicine trial.
