ALKAII IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless) ,
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance OF Rch,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, It's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member OF the family
for months. adv

Vote ssNO''

There is no reason whatever for the voters of Ia
coma to approve the 100000 power plant bond
issue that will appear on the April 16 ballot
True, we probably must have this additional
plant eventually. True, we ought to be acquiring
one of the few remaining sites while they yet re-
main available.
But, in the first place, we could not obtain the
consent of federal bank officials to issuing the
bonds now if we voted Them In the second place,
we could not sell them if we issued them. In the
third place, We could not buy the machinery if we
had the money And in the fourth place. the cost of
it would be prohibitve if we could.
AS matter of fact, the council at the present
time has full authority to issue the bonds without
the peoples further ratification, and should it
imperative for site to be acquired before the war
ends, the council might arrange such purchase,
the payment to be made in bonds.
Had the city decided at the primary election to
take over the street railway system, we might now
face different problem, but with that step post
poned the only argument for the power plant issue
has been wiped out.

Keep Tacoma Clean

There is one thing you may depend upon in this
coming election--if Riddell Shoemaker and Harr-
son are chosen. Tacoma will remain clean. The
blindpig and dive will continue conspicuous by
their absence.
r Ugly rumors connect one or two of the other can
didates and possibly one holdover member of the
council with the design of upsetting Tacoma's
present excellent standing in that regard.
1t is said there is we'll understood plan on foot
to shift the present commissioner of public safety
should the election go in the schemers' favor, sub
stitute less vgilant commissioner, and bring back
the ''liberal'' regime of some years ago.
Now, of course, that would be ruinOus. The Times
is convinced Tacoma does not want to go back to
the old conditions anyway, but with our present
Camp Lewis relationship and responsibility, we
must not. The town has to be kept clean. Uncle
Sam, as we'll as people, demands it.
The election of Riddell, Shoemaker and Harrison
will insure that it is kept clean.

dreds, yes thousands, OF stomach

say: Nine times out of ten the
best thing for pain in the stom-
ach, be 1t indigestion, gastritis.
dyspepsia, or whatever you wish
TO call 1t, is to take q teaspoonful
Of Bi-nesfa, or two or three of
the 5-grain tablets In . little hot
water right after eating or when
ever pain Is felt. l know that
many physicians make II q prae-
tlce to keep q supply of Bi-nezia
tablets on hand to dispense 10
their patients. and have rsad
many letters from people who vol
UNFAIRLY state that Bi-nesia gave
Immediate relief and comfort AFT

you can see why I have such
confidence In Bi-nesia- Moreover.
and this appeals particularly b
those who have spent large saMa
without getting relief, you can try

"a Pct. Profit
Not Armour's

In recent article in this paper,
J. Ogden Armour was made to say
that the profits of Armour & Co.
were Al per cent, (which was not
so rotten" This was error, due
to erroneous reading of an am
biguous dispatch. In writing into
a letter that IA per cent was not
so rotten" Armour referred to
profits made by a Denver man.
r. ID. McManus of Armour &
Co., writes as follows:
For your information, these
facts are appended: Armour &
Co.'S profits IN 1917 were less
than Is per cent on the capital
actually invested in the business;
the margin of profit on the vol
ume of business was less than 4
per cent, and under government
regulations now effective, the mar
gin Of profit on meat food pro-
ducts handled by the concern must
not exceed Q 1-2 per cent on the
business transacted"

| Mother Trent Is a mental and
moral jellyfHh floating on the
tide of destiny and pricking like
a netue all those with whom she
comes in contact II by any posi-
bility they obstruct her way.
Altho she always exasperates
me beyond reason, yet she arouses
in me something active and sig
nificant and makes me look with
horror upon any kind Of supine
selfish indulgence.
Sometimes, little book, I won
der what people-just the aver
lage men and women-would think
1of my condolences and confessions
to you.
Would they realize that I am
more sincere and frank with you
than l could be with any other

may seem, little sheet of white
paper. bound in red, you are the
living being to me-Margie Wav-
erly's other self-a better self
a more sane self. A self that
calmly analyses and concludes.
After l have told you all my
troubles, l find that ideas form
themselves in my mind that seem
to bring the solution of them all.
/ am grateful to you, little
book, very grateful, l do not know
what l would have done without
you all these years. Dear, dear
mother certainly left me splen-
did bequest when she asked me
to keep a diary.
OF course, l did not think of
all these things while Mollie and
I were at Mother Trent's.
| do wish you could have seen,
little book, how she settled down
and forgot herself the moment she
began to talk about her clothes.
| Finally, when Mollie asked me
| to go and order her mothers
mourning, l got away, with that
as an excuse.
| Mother Trent did not want me
to go very much, as she knew
did not believe in an outward ex-
hibition of woe. but after l had
written down all her wishes and
told her again and again that
would see that her crepe veil
would have quarter of a yard
hem and come within a foot of
the bottom of her dress, she let
me go.
| Sometimes, little book, I think
fashion plays the most potent part

| Think of it, Fashion tells you
just how long and how much you
must grieve, and changes its COM
mands from year to year.
II you only had ears and could
have heard Mother Trent's COM
ments on how the fashions in
mourning had changed since she
wore it for dear Daddy Waverly.
Iyou certainly would have smiled

Dear Miss Grey: 1 am a
very unhappy girl, because l
have never had any love. My
father never loved my mother.
He says that is true, altho she
is dead. And he does not show
any love for me. For that rea-
son it is my constant dream
some day to have a home of my
own in which there is great
love. I am "a years old, but
everyone treats me as tho I
were a child. Perhaps 1t is
because I am small. Do you
think l will ever meet the man
of my dreams?
LONGING FOR LOVE.
Undoubtedly you will. but h,
will wish for more than dreams
The best husbands combine prac
ticability with idealism. Prepar,
for tho coming Of that man, who
win place you in that home
filled with love, by becoming /,
practical housekeepr and home
maker. Men tire Of dreams alone
They ask for real helpmAtes.
