Careless Use oF Soap
 SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully. if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoes contain too much sIkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steaay use is just ordinary mulsified cpc0anut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use
 One or two feaspoonfuls will cleanse tile hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dHst, dirt, dandrHff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, iustroHs. fluffy and easy to manage.
 YoH can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. it's very cheap. and a few ounces will supply every mem- Der of the family for months.

The hotel contains 30 rooms, and spa eious verandas well adapted for the purpose for which the property has been obtained, namely. the treatment Of cases of .glandular and bone tuber- culosis in children. There are in ad- dition 100 feet of beach front, aId two acres of ground, and a separate cot tage on the grounds, and the site and huilding are admiral bly, adapted for sanatorium purposes.

 The sanatorium may be used early next fall. in fact, it may be possible for the commission to send patients there during the summer, but com plete heating plant must be installed before it is made useable for the win ter.

KIECKHEFER Wins OUT PLAYERS MUST Be SOUND
Commission Rules Pittsburgh Could
Turn Back Man Injured Be-
fore Purchase.

CINCINNATI, April 2o.-Title to
Player Bowman, who last season was
with the Mason City club of the Central
Association, has been placed with that
club by a majority decision handed
down from the offices of the national
base ball commission here. The case
was the first that has been before a
newly created tribunal Of the members
of the national commission, the secre-
tary Of the national association and the
president Of the minor league that is
concerned in the controversy.
Mason City claimed that the player
had been purchased by Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh claimed the player was in
jured and did not report to it. Mason
City contended Pittsburgh assumed title
to the player by ordering him to report
to Kansas City without reporting to
Pittsburgh.
The national commission ruled that
the Pittsburgh club did not assume title
to the player inasmuch as the player
was injured previous to his being
awarded him to Mason City.
Secretary Farrell of the National as
sociation and President Ford of the
Central Association submitted dis
senting opinion, In which they stated
they believed Pittsburgh had assumed
title to the player. President Ford con-
tending that his physical condition had
nothing to do with the deal, and that
so far as this contract is concerned if
the player was delivered on a stretcher
Mason City would have fulfilled its part
