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 alkal This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsihed cocoanut
Oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use tor shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuIs
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,
dandruH 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 mulsihed 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. ~

EXPLAINS DELAY
Secretary Baker Says Gen. Pershing
Has Been Urged to Expedite
the Casualty List

Washington, Dec 3-Secretary
Baker appearing before the Senate
military committee attempted to ex-
plain the delay in completing the pub
lications of the overseas casualties.
He said he thought that most of the
unreported names were those of men
slightly wounded and should come by
mail. The members of the committee
told Secretary Baker they could not
understand why only something over
100000 names had been published
when it had been officially announced
that the casualties, numbered over
2G2, 900 Secretary Baker said every
effort consistent with accuracy was
made to prevent delay and that Gen.
Pershing had been urged to expedite
the casualty lists and send first the
names of those who had died.

Restrictions on Purchasing Sugar for
Homes and Eating Places Removed
Washington, Dec. 3-Restrictions
on the purchases of sugar for con-
sumption in homes and public eating
places were removed tonight by the
food administration. Increase in the
supply Of Louisiana cane and western
beet sugar and expectation that the
new Cuban crop will begin to arrive
soon permit abandonment Of the
sugar ration system, the administra-
tion said.
Regulations limiting the purchase
of sugar by domestic consumers to
three pounds per person a month and
by public eating places to three
pounds for every ninety meals served,
were issued by the food administra.
ton last June. These rations were
later reduced to two pounds for each
person a month and two pounds for
each ninety meals. Since the cessa-
ton of hostilities, the food administra-
ton has relaxed the restrictions grad
ually until the ration reached four
pounds.

as he and his wife breakfasted aboard.
He said he was looking forward to the

ADVICE NOT HEEDED
This Bulgarian Tried to Keep the
King Out of War

London, Dec. 3-M. Stambuliswsky,
leader of the Peasants party and
head of the new Peasants govern
ment in Bulgaria, was among those
who sought to prevent King Ferdi-
nand from committing Bulgaria to
war on the side of the Central Pow
ers.
At a conference of party leaders
held with the King at the palace, NJ.
Stambuliwsky spoke his mind freely
telling the king that he was leading
the country to destruction, and that
he would pay for his crime with his
crown and perhaps with his head.
Tot his the King replied that Stam-
buliwsky need have no concern for the
royal head, but had better take care
Of his own. Later Stambuliwsky was
imprisoned.
