Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you 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 mulsifed cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless),
is much better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use for si.am
pooing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply noisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle OF dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. Ii is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.

PARSONS OF party votes on war meas

ord shows that between April {, 1911,
the date on which it was declared that
4 state OF war existed. and September
10. 1917, of the votes cast on the Re-
publican side, 4 little over &c per cent
wcr" in favor Of the war measure
yutnd upon il the Senate. while Of tho
votes cast on the Democratic side. 4
littl" loss than IS per cent were in
layur of such measures. Between April
6. 1917. and May 20, 1918. there Were
81 roll calls on war measures. The
votes cas-. by the Republicans werr ,
yer cant. in favor Of these measures,
while only CO per cent OF the Demo
