"Mean Prohteering."

There is one class or profiteerS
against which the government has
not taken any effective measures as
yet, and it is a class, too, SO sordid
and mean as to merit the contempt of
all decent and patriotic citizens.
This particular class of profiteers is
to be found in the vicinity of all our
camps and environments. Their
scheme is to separate the soldier If
possible, from every cent he gets in
pay from the government before he
leaves the camp that will take him
beyond their reach. Right here on
Long Island good deal of this
despicable form of profiteering has
been done. A hundred per cent
profit is not uncommonly sought.
Particularly is the effort made to
gouge the soldier on the prices for
the little Injuries his sudden trans
fer from civil to military like makes
him crave.
| But in the southern camps this
profiteering is at it's worst. Here is
an instance: An officers wife was
coming to visit him at one of these
southern camps. He asked a friend
to engage a room in the town near the
camp. A very ordinary room was
secured for $40 a month and SIS paid
on deposit. When the officer came to
i install his wife in the room the price
was raised to $50 and he had to pay
it or go without. In another instance
house that had ordinarily let for $40
a month was rented to the family of
an officer for s125 and after the first
month the rent was raised to $160.
AS the tenant could not pay he had to
move his family out. And this par
ticular case of profiteering was done
by one of the county officials. The
prices charged for other things are
in proportion.
Some federal official with the same
power to fix in the vicinity Of camps
and cantonments the prices of the
things the soldiers need that is
welded by the federal food admin
istration in dealing with the handlers
for profit of food products should be
appointed to bring the profiteers who
prey on the soldiers to book
Brooklyn Standard Union.
Our neighbours indictment of
practices near the environments is
not even a glimpse of the truth, par
ticularly in the South. Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts men
in the southern camps have some
thing to remember as Americans will
remember Hun-ism Their uniform
has exposed them to common
agreement to exploit Uncle Sans
employees. Bake shops jump the
prices of pastry 100 per cent. when
an officers wife appears in company
with her husband. Maine officers
i have been forced to send their fami-
| lies home because of prohibitive
prices for rooms or rent. To wear
| the uniform is to become a common
target for profiteers.
And that is not all of the story. for
the government forces army officers
to buy uniforms and equipment in
the open market where they are
squeezed for exorbitant prices, es-
pecially in the regions roundabout
American camps.

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. alkali. This DRIES
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulslf1ed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use Tor shampoo
ing, 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 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 manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv

AusHIE OUT FOR SENATOR.
Made Formal Announcement Inns
Week at Occur fAlene.

Judge James +. Ailshie gave out
statement Thursday at Occur dAiene'
formally announcing his candidacy 1or
the Republican nomination for tne
short term senatorship to succeed tne
LATE Senator Brady. He stated tnat
his name twill be filed shortly VIII
the secretary of state to go on the OF
ficial ballot" In announcing MS can
didacy, he said:
"The all-important issue is, winning
tbe war. everything else is secondary
and must be subordinated to the great
war task before us and every energy
of the government should be directed
to that end. Congress should PROVIDE
at once for universal military training
for our young men between the ages
of IS and p years as an emergency
war measure.
.'Profiteering should be prohibited
by act of congress. No man or assoc
iation of men should be allowed to &C.
emulate a fortune off the tragedy OF
this war.
I'm the interest of economy and
good business administration, the
budget system for national expendl'
lures should be adopted.
The government should provide the
most direct and inexpensive metnoo
possible for marketing the products OF
the farms, giving to the farmers OF
Idaho the same encouragement and
fair treatment in both prices and
transportation charges that Is given
TO the farmers near the markets and
large centers.
II am in favor of state development
and control of our unused waterpOwer
and such stringent control and super
vision Of the business and operations
of the power trust as will insure fair
treatment and reasonable rates to the
people served by it.
Woman suffrage is demonstrated
success. The shortest and quickest
route to universal suffrage is through
the passage of the amendment to the
federal constitution. If elected this
will have my unqualified support. The
heroic women of America, who are
giving their sons to the country anC
making every possible sacrifice, are de
serving of the fullest recognition al
the earliest moment.
"Our soldiers must be properly
cared for after the war in the recon
struction of our business and ecOnom
ic life at home Congress should i'm
mediately provide for the appointment
of federal commission to study thi
problem with the view of giving fail
! treatment to the millions of our sol
diers on their return to civil life. Ii
| this great west is vast domain o
public land, a great part of whicl
could be thrown open to our returning
soldiers on the most liberal terms
America must be generous in he
treatment Of the men who are offerin
their lives on their country's altar"
