Alkali in Soap
 Bad For the Hair

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 ordinary mulsitied cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you caF use
 One or two tsaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and sqalp thoroughly. Sinry1TTs noiste1 the hqfr with water ard rub it i'll. It mal;eS an abundance of rich, creamy !ath9f, which bs@fhses out easily, removing efery particle of dust dirt, dandruff ahds~e&cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and i; leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fire ard silky, bright, lust-ous. fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get nluisihed cccoarut oil at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

The Musical Guardsmen, an or chestra composed of four young men. was the attraction at the clautauuua yesterday afternoon. The attendance ~Mas even larger than the afternoon crowd of the day before, and the pro gram pleased every one.
 In the evening the Musical Guards men gave program of about thirty minutes duration, and Lieut. J. $. Sharman delivered an address in which he related his experiences and observations on the battle front. Lieutenant Sharman was suffering a severe headache. Despite this, how ever, he held the attention of his audience from the inception of his talk until he bade the crowd good night. Lieutenant Sharman says there is no doubt of the ultimate victory of the allies, but he emphasizes the fact that that we must all do our duty.
 lie related the touching story of one of his young comrades. Bob" who died as result of dangerous mission for which he volunteered. Bob's last utterance was the question: 'Did l. do my full duty?" His grave lS III Ptl9lulil, anu soHdIlldH anu HIS associates have placed over it bit of stone on which is carved the "Our Comrade-He Did His Duty" The keynote of the address was an appeal to all to do their full duty in backing up the hoys at the front to keep cheerful and to send messages of cheer to the boys in khaki.
 Tcday's program will be entirely oc- c'lpied by Mampin's band. one of the leading organizations of it's kind. Tn the afternoon music will be endered by the company as band. and at night as an orchestra. Maupin's band has made a tremendous hit wherever it has appeared in chaut'auqua work. and a genuine treat may be expected by all music lovers who go to the tabernacle today. The afternoon per- formance will begin at 8 o'clock, and the evening performance at s D. m.
