| Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

Ii yon want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tireiy greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or
anything else YOU can use for sham
pooling. as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the halr and scalp thoroughly The
iatner rlnses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
ana excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves it
me and silky. bright. fluffy and easy
to manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
az most any drug. store. It is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough to
las everyone in the family for
2onths.-Adv.

Up to the President,

Congress empowering the President

industries"
Aren't they ALL war INDUSTRIES -
Mr.. President, in these days when
every loyal American is working su-
premely to end the war by every
means in his power?
And, Mr.. President, is any man or
concern making or selling an article
of commerce that units soldiers and
war workers" for duty, working
loyalty to end the war?
Is not, Mr.. President, the man or
firm that is making or selling stuff
that destroys manhood, character
and efficiency in soldiers and wa,
WORKERS., about the only industry
IN which the war prohibition" heed
not prevail as in war INDUSTRIES?
Mr.. President, is not the whole
booze traffic-the Hun business
promoted. established and still
fought, for by pro- German interests
with Hun methods, the worst enem,
that Americans know this side the
Hindenburg line?
Why not establish a prohibitor,

southern, eastern and western
boundaries Of the United States. Mr.
President? You have the power!

there are recompenses for us all IN

Has Dad given himself a vacation

to see if he could stand the pace.
What is his work this year anyway
and how is business back in the

some day, don't you worry. l can't
seem to get hold of any little souve-
Mrs to send you, but if you want any
French war orphans or Paquin
models or anything like that per
haps we could arrange it. One night
down town l was thinking of buying
certain famous cafe and trans
porting it entire back to the Capital
city to show the folks what a real
place could be like. Up at the front
the heavy boche helmets, bayonets,
rifles and things Of that sort are so
common that we didn't even have
the inclination or time to pick them
up. One could even have tank for
a souvenir if he could get away with
it. Along the road where we were
running. on beyond the French bat
terry position there were a couple of
Red Cross ambulance drivers locking
for souvenirs and they the drivers)
were pretty much scattered about the
surrounding wheat fields by AZ en-.
so the rest of us decided to spend as
little time as possible in that vicin-
ity. We drove down, got our Yanks
or poilus or Jocks (Scotch kilties) as
the case might be and hauled them
back over the peck marked roads.
At present. mother we expect to
be located here for some time SO |
hope to get my mail from home in
much shorter time. And too l am
spending many of my evenings right
here in my perfectly lovely quarters
with a couple of tungstens overhead

nave no inclination to stop yet. The

there and they were there too.

about your comings and goings back
