CAREI ESS USE OF
SOAP SP0ILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, If 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 IL.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsifled cocoa
nut oil (which is pure and grease
less), and is better than the most
expensive soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. IL
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dies 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 mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member Of the family
| for months.-Advertisement.

14.-The fight to legalize publi-
cation of the returns of individ-
uals under the federal income tax
law will he made again by the
same group of progressive sena-
tors who came very near securing
its passage at the last session.
LaFollette, Norris, Poindexter,
Husting, Reed, Kenyon and Lane
are ready to do their part to put
through an amendment that Will
give real publicity to the returns
and stop the evasions OF dishonest
individuals.
In preparation for the fight a
special investigation has been
made of the actual results under
the civil war income tax law
which allowed the returns to be
published.
This investigation proves
conclusively that publicity
not only prevented great
frauds, but that when the re-
turns were made secret In
1870 ONE FIFTH of the
people who had been making
returns ceased to do so and
took their chances Of being
caught by revenue agents.
The best evidence, however, OF
the feeling of the public spirited
people of the time toward pub
licity of returns is contained in an
editorial by Horace Greeley, print
ed in the New York Tribune on
May "a, 1866, when Morrill, first
attempted to make the returns
secret.
The editorial, which follows, Is
a good specimen of Greeleys Wig
orous writing:
THE Evening Post has a Wash
ington dispatch which says: The
committee on ways and means
have agreed to an amendment OF
the tax bill providing that lists OF
incomes shall not be published nor
furnished for publication, but
shall be open to private inspection
at the office of the collector.
We believe that publicity given
to the returns of incomes sub
mitted by individuals to tax gath
erers has already put millions Of
dollars into the treasury and gone
far toward equalizing the pay
ments of the income tax by rosues
with that Of honest men and saved
thousands from being imposed
upon and swindled by false pre-
lenses of solvency and wealth
made on purpose to incur debts
preOrdained never to be paid.
The knaves who sought credit
on assumption of wealth belied by
their returns of income, of course,
hate publicity given to those re-
turns; but why should any honest
man seek to pass for any more Cor
| less) than he is worth?
THE poke nose permission to
peep privately into the returns
nullifies every excuse for interdict-
ing their publication. If a thing
| is fit to be known at all, 1t should
be accurately known, not only to
those who may take special pains
to become acquainted with it, but
to each and all"
The chances of securing pub
licity OF returns at this session are
greatly increased by the fact that
every member of congress realizes
that every penny of taxes due the
treasury is grievously needed to
nav possible war costs.

A visit to Tacoma stores quickly
establishes the fact that the
straight line frock is to continue
in good style this spring and sum-

The straight line frock is often
fashioned with a seam at the low
waist line, as in the elegant linen
morning dress shown today; or the
fullness may fall in fine plating
from the bust line and be confined
about the hips by a loose girdle as
in the transparent afternoon gown.
The rather short and large
sleeves of teh linen coat dress and
the extra long and tight sleeves of
the afternoon frock are an inter-

When it comes to scentlng skin game
Policeman Mclaughlin will meet all comers.
A stranger invaded the neighborhood Of
Sixty.frst and Thompson streets with a
MISUNDERSTANDING bundle. His shifty eyes
and stealthy tread attracted the cop. The
man visited several shoemakers' shops. 1t
was noticed that he left each place with a
deepening frown and still carried the
bundle.

led to suspect that Closeno was organizing
