Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair h good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps. and prepared shampoas contain too much alkal. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless) Is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injurc the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub 1t in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. Inc iather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust dirt dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut of at most any drug store It is very l cheap, and a few ounces is enough
 to last everyone in the family for months.

and quarter has a value which is un- derestiuiated by most of us Americans. A dime to many of Us does not mean two nicieis or ton penniee-but two sodas or cigars. Most of us are change scatterers and money has no value only as it buys something right away Suppose each of our one hum dred million inhabitants determined to save only ten cents each day-at the end of year we would have piled up the stupendous sum of three billion, six hundred and fifty million dollars, which is only about one-seyeflth of the estimated finance of the war for the first year.
 Our efficiency in this modern was will be measured in terms of money, food and industrial effort, and without the united efforts of every American citizen the war may be forced to stop and we may have to submit to an in- glorious and unsatisfactory peace.
