Machine Gun Company marched by wit h

with a free and easv swing that was
delight TO the eye in this camp, where
90 per cent of the men are still IN the
elementary class.
Colonel r. c. Craddock is in com
mand. He picked his men well from the
abundance of material in training at
the Presidio. Many men enlisted in Ore

then the ranks were filled by picking

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if
YOU want to keep your hair looking it's
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins IT,
The best thing for steady use is just
ordioary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaselessl, and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else YOU can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it lesves
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 few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months

THE GAS TAX ADVOCATED

The Intclligencer today publishes ON
interesting communication from Hon.
Carleton C. Pierce Of Kingwood. ". Va,
author OF the gas transportation tax
bill presented in the Legislature OF 1918.
Mr.. Pierce points out that the bill which
he introduced in that session would hare
created a revenue OF about @6oo.0oo.oo
per year. and he urges the wisdom Of
the transportation tax as means Of
helping TO meet the financial needs Of
the state IN view Of tho impending Viz
GINA debt He also suggests with great
propriety that the rate Of the transpor-
tation tax which was proposed in his
bill at that time should be raised in
proportion to the advanced prices at
which natural gas Is now selling in va
rious cities Of the country. At the pres
cnt time the transportation tax would
not raise $500, 10000. but probably g.
million dollars a year. sufficient IN
itself to take care Of the interest and
to create sinking fund for the final
liquidation Of the Virginia. debt.
Members Of the legislature and ciu-
zens in general who may have the dp-
portunity should give very careful study
to Mr.. Pierce's suggestions.
