tions: the other. a scoundrel, breaches
to her the doctrine of free love. In
answer to his persuasive arguments,
she tells him that the love of her
father and mother proves to her that
marriage Is a success. You can
imagine the power of the. situation
when she learns that her father il

Careless Use Of
Soap Spells the Hair

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 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 1t in. It 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 1t leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky. bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every MEM
Der OF the family for months.-Adv.

Sign, It Will Be Only
at Clubs Terms
nv Associated Press.N

Boston, Feb. 21.-Pres. Harry H. Fra
zee, of the Boston Americans, yesterday
delivered an ultimatum to Pitcher Carl
Mays, which, he said, applied to all

contracts. Mays had written that he
would go to Hot Springs. and discuss
terms there.
President Frazee telegraphed him
that he was at liberty to start when he
wished, but that the trip would be at
the players expense, and that If terms
were agreed on at Hot Springs, they
would be terms offered by the club, not
those sought by the player. I'VE will
send transportation only to those play
ers who have signed; others will either
stay at home or pay their own expens-
es," the president stated.

GRAIN GRADING
SYSTEM PROPOSED

leaves the grain buyer to put what
grade he desires upon it." zs:r. n
When asked what the chances were
OF the commission adopting his pro.
posed standards. based on the milling
value Of the wheat, DR.. Ladd said that
the members of the commission hold
ing the hearing did not seem to think
much about 1t. He said that the i'm
preston seemed to be that such a sys-
tenn would mean too much work.
It was not until late in the after
noon that the commission took up the
grading proposition in earnest. The
forenoon was devoted largely to the
preliminary work and the, statements
Of the commissioners setting forth the
objects Of the session and what it was
hoped to accomplish through the es-
tablishment of new system Of grain
grading. .....
DR.. Laid believes that the system
as outlined by the commission as
probable of adoption will not be any
better for the producer than the sys-
tenn now used. There seems to be
little difference from the present sys-
lishment Of six grades instead of the
present number.
1t was not until late in the after
noon that DR.. Ladd was given an op.
portunity Of speaking and presenting
his proposed milling tests system Of
grain grading. He then went into the
matter as fully as possible with the
limited time available for the pur-
pose.
The hearing was held by c. J. Brand
and ]. w. T. Duvel and Mr.. Brand
stated that milling tests for COM
mercial grades is impossible. He said
that in market where there were
from 1000 to 1900 cars of grain arriv-
ing daily the inspectors could not wait
for the milling and baking tests to be
put on grain before establishing the
grade. He said that the grading must
be based on the physical appear
ance 10.
Mr.. Brand assured DR.. Ladd that his
system would, however, be
given thorough consideration by the
commission in arriving at a final con-
clusion. *.- 4
