Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything 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 it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy 1ather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh looking
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides. it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
ff.-Advertisement.

IT'S UNCERTAIN CROP
Expert Says Do Not Try
to Grow Spring Wheat.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 26:-Dont
grow spring wheat. Plant barley. Inc
boards may get in your shirt at har-
vest and cause discomfort, but they're
not as bad as German bullets, and
they'll help win the war, declares s.
C-Salmon, professor of farm crops in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Spring wheat is profitable only in
extreme northwestern Kansas. but
even there barley yields considerably
more. Barley, in fact, has been two
to three times as productive in care
fui tests turnout the state. 1t sells
for nearly as much as wheat. and
can be used to produce the pork so
needed by the allies.
Barley is a more certain crop than
spring wheat because it is less subject
to injury from hot winds, drouth and
disease explained Professor Salmon.
1T also pays better in Kansas than
oats, except where chinch bugs are
numerous. In western Kansas, espec-
tally northwestern Kansas, barley
should be raised instead of oats except
possibly for horse feed

is CASES SMALLPOX
Camp Funston Carriers Are Respon-
sible for Spread of Disease.

Eighteen cases of smallpox have de-
yeloped in Topeka, according to a
statement issued by DR.. III. L. Clark,
city physician. Six of them are in the
district around Washington school
house. These six cases were derived
from the case of colored man, M.
Anderson, who had been working in a
rock quarry at Camp Funston, and
came to Topeka month ago. where
he has lived with his daughter, Mrs.
Mitchell, 500 East Eleventh street.
Another smallpox patient is Robert
Bunch, a waiter in a restaurant at
Army City, who came to his home in
Topeka, and hunted out Doctor Clark
to find out if his case was one of bad
blood as it had been pronounced.
Doctor Clark took him at once to the
detention hospital.
Some of the cases under quarantine
are nearly ready for release. Doctor
Clark recommends vaccination, and
has asked especially that all the chill
dren in Washington school go for vac

-O-O-Oh, Monsieur!
BY EARL d. KEILMANN.

(First Lieut.. C. A c., who has just return
ed from several months active service
in France.)
THE war is so long and it is not
good for the man with a family to be
away so long at a time. Only ten
days at home in four months is not
enough for one to properly raise his
children" That was the opinion of
the conflict as laid down by Captain
Mandet, of a certain French infantry
regiment
We were sitting in little shack in a
railroad yard up near the Champagne
front. 1t was dreary day. The rain
fell steadily and the wind blew in fit
full gusts. 1t seeped thru the cracks
of the shanty and made the efforts of
a charcoal burner to keep the place
warm, extremely futile.
With me at the front, the good
wife cannot properly control that big
boy of mine and 1 am afraid that he
gets lazy. 1 had hoped that he would
be able to pass his entrance exam
nations to Navarro. 1 am a Breton
and all Bretons hope for their chill
dren that they will become naval Off
GERS. This is his last year to pass
those examinations and 1 am afraid
that my son will have to be only a
common seaman and the war will be
to blame.
do 1 like the life in the trenches?
Why, yes, monsieur. 1t is lively up
men of my company and 1 have the
comradeship of my junior officers.
We play cards, we talk of home and
make jokes with one another and
about the bombs that the Germans
try to make fall on our dugouts. We
even have little entertainments. Oh,
it is a great life. There is much COM
radeShip. Here / am alone.
Make 1t Warm for Huns.
NO, the Germans do not bother us
p great deal. They are afraid to dis
turb us too much, for then we become
angry and make-how do you say it
in English-make things warm for
them. We have to stop occasionally
and listen to see whether or not they
are still bombarding us.
Il do not like this position here. The
work is not tiresome. There is not
much work to do. 1 am in charge of
military transportation and all 1 have
to do is inspect the passes of the SOL
diers back from the front. Many a
time l wish that 1 was back with my
company. 1 do not like it here"
He stopped and pacing back and
forth in the little office he suddenly
stopped before the dingy window and
peering out thrust his fingers in his
ears to keep out the sound of small
French locomotive whistling as 1t
pulled out of the yards.
".Ah, monsieur, that is it, want to
be back with my company where there
is not so much noise

Police Find Soldier Who Says He Was
