Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair IN
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaselessl. is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub il in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamv lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lsther
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff. and
excessive oil The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves It fine and
silky. bright. fiufIy. and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut OIL
at most any drug store. II Is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

M 'ADOO ORDERS
DOMESTIC COAL TO
HAVE PRECEDENCE

Coal for Shivering householders. the
women and children of the nation,
has the right OF way over all traitic
on the national railroads today.
With traffic paraliEed west and
south of Pittsburgh and Cumberland,
and the eastern seaboard badly tied
up. Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo put intoscffect orders for the
movement of domestic coal ahead OF
everything else on the railways. Food
is to be moved next. and bunker coal
for ships third in order. Many Allan
tic liners carrying supplies and muni-
tions to American forces abroad and
to our allies are tied up in New
York for lack of bunker coal.
Food situation Easier.
Despite the crippled condition OF
the railroads as a result OF continu-
Gus snow and sleet storms and Dit
ter weather. the food situation Is
generally easy. There is no short
age in Washington or other big
Eastern cities. but food is to be
moved after the first vital needs for
coal are supplied. Orders to this ef-
feet were put into operation today on
the recommendation of a. II. Smith
assistant to the director general in
charge Of operation of the roads In
Eastern territory.
Under the new orders coal is NOV
ing To Washington in good quantity,
despite the general railroad tieup.
GarfieId's New Order.
All state fuel administrators were
notified by Fuel Administrator Gar
field today that whenever a shortage
of coal or coke is found to exist for
domestic use. coal or coke may be
delivered to the stricken districts. no
matter what its previous routing may
hav" been, and no matter TO whom
consigned.
Snow plOws were nosing through
heavy drafts and workmen were bur
rowing toward stranded trains
throughout the eastern half of the
United States TO dig railroad traffic
out of the uverw whelminG tie-up.
Freight traffic between Chicago and
-. Louis and eastern points Is prac-
ticalIy suspended and passenger
traffic Is limited TO the moving OF
stranded trains into terminals.
