Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

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 a1l<ali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful Just plain mulsifed cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less), Is much better than the most exc
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
iather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store tits very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Citizens.
DRIVE IS BIG SUCCESS

After midnight last night the can
yass for Y. M. C. A. memberships was
going merrily on with teams of solicit
ors flying around in automobiles and
taking signatures on the dotted line.
After full day yesterday, and lot
OF work and many memberships OBJ
tanned during the night, the work con-
tlnued through today. 1t ends this
evening-Or this midnight-except for
the jobbing district which will be can
vassed Saturday.
Just after midnight last night an
automobile whizzed up to the works
OF the Standard Four Tire company
with one team. A shift of workmen
were going off and another shift
were going OF just then. The team OF
solicitors swooped down on the young
men and made every one of them a
member of the Keokuk Y. NJ G. A.
Every Man in Big Factory.
That brought a total OF over $50
memberships from that factory alone
and made it hundred per cent of its
personnel, except a few employees
who work scattered over some terri
tory, as the drivers of the test cars.
But today that same team OF can
vassers for the Y. M. c. A. was busily
chasing down all these stragglers in
big automobile and by this evening
expects to have them rounded into the
fold and every employee of the fac
tory member of the Y. M. C. A.
This invincible team consisted OF

Saturday evening to get out Of the
way Of the big second annual Red
Cross drive Of next week, but any
body can always secure member
ship at the Y. M. G. A. Office, at any
time. 1t was manifestly impossible to

Campaign Was Big Success.
Reports made to Chairman Thomas
at o'clock this afternoon indicated
that the campaign has been big
success, although team CAPTAINS were
Istin too busy soliciting to furnish def
mite figures which hold for more than
half an hour.
The Phillips team with approx
mately two hundred memberships OBJ
tanned undoubtedly will win the prize
dinner Some other teams have a
good score Those who continued the
work into the evenings got the best
results, as rule. as the young men
were more accessible then.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon. Chair
man Thomas meets all the team cap
tains at the Y. M. c. A for formal re-
ports.

"RACE' AGAINST
The AUSTR|ANS
Charge Government Favors
AntiGerman Party of Ex-
pense of Germans.
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, May "a. = Another
nationalites Of fAustria-Hungary, which
recent occurrences in Bohemia have
brought to the fore, is the situation
in Austrian Silesia, which lies between
Moravia and Galicia.
An antigovernment meeting, news
of which was suppressed by the local
authorities, took place a few days ago
at Troppau. The malcontents In this
case, among whom Count Lariesch
was prominent, are Germans, who rage
fiercely against the Austrian govern
ment. as do the Czechs.
Their chief grievances are that the
government favors the anti-G erman
party at the expense of Germans,
whom it purposely neglects, and that
Polish agitators are appointed to i'm
portant positions, especially in eastern
Silesia. 1t is alleged that the aim of
these agitators is to join Silesia and
Galicia with the ultimate object of
Joining both to Poland. The malcon-
tents demand counter-measures and
threaten to go to the extreme length
of opposition.
Demonstrations Continue.
In spite of many arrests, made last
Sunday after the Czech demonstration
in Prague on Saturday. organized op-
position to the Austrian governments
scheme to divide Bohemia into self
administering districts as growing in
strength. The Czechs are in constant
contact with the Poles, Italians and
South Slavs and will, according to rhe
latest dispatches, do all in their power
to hinder the work of parliament when
1t assemblies.
1t is expected that the government
will be forced to dissolve parliament
after its second meeting in June, after
the Cxechs and the others proclaim to
the world prosecutions of which their
nationalities are the victims
Demonstrations continue in Prague.
Bohemian national songs mingled with
songs In honor OF the entente are the
order of the day. Thousands of anony-
nous corculars are being distributed
inciting the people to protest against
the government measure.
German newspapers criticize Aus
tria's way of dealing with the dem
onstrators. The Tageszeitung of Ber-
lin says.
"Karl's conciliatorH disposition and
Vianna's lamentable e.weak-kne eedness
are responsible for the occurrences.

ALL GERMAN CRAFT
BLOCKED IN CANAL
fBy Associated Prass1

LONDON, May o4.-Having failed in
attempts to blow Up the concrete laden
ships sunk in the entrance to the
Bruges Canal at Zeebrugge, the Ger
mans are now engaged in cutting away
the piers in an attempt to outflang the
obstruction.
Photographs taken three days ago
b. British naval airmen show this and
they also show how completely the
canal entrance has been blocked. So
the Germans have adopted the exped-
lent of removing the piers on the west
side of the canal in order to make a
large enough channel for torpedoe
craft and other vessels larger than
submarines to pass out to sea.
The photographs, which have been
viewed at the admiralty by The Assoc
lated Press, also show that German
craft in the canal are headed west
ward. indicating, according to the ad-
miralty, that they are evidently trying
to pass out by way of Ostend where
the canal entrance is not blocked as
completely as at Zeebrugge.
1t is doubtful, however, if there is
enough water at the Ostend outlet for
even the smaller boats to get to sea-
Photographs made there by British
airmen show that the depth of the
water at Ostend varies, depth of as
low as four feet being recorded.

Russia Faces Big Problem
in Return of Prisoners;
1000, 900 are Inualids
(By Associated Press.)

MOSCOW, Friday, May 17.-One
million Of 100000 Russian war pris-
oners held in Germany and Austria
Hungary are total invalids. In Ger
many there are 100000 and in Aus
tria 100000. Half of the invalids are
tubercular, most of them in the last
stages OF that plague. Many of the
remainder are suffering from other
serious contagious diseases
s Their return to Russia under pres
ent condition is a great problem on
account Of the lack Of food, proper
accommodations and medical assist
ance. The exchange OF invalids has
being going on for some time
mixed commission of Germans
and Russians is now arranging for the
exchange of able bodied prisoners.
Petrograd and Moscow are to be the

be designated later
Plans are being made for the re-
patriation of 100000 refugees to the
Russian provinces occupied by the Ger
mans. Some OF the refugees are in
Siberia, while the others are in Rus
sia. So far the Germans have shown
great unwillingness to admit them in
large numbers. Several hundred thou
sand already are gathered at the from
tiers, but only small parties are admit
ted, the Germans claiming that the
transportation facilities are limited.
