Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle Besides, il loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff (Adv)

Boys OF Louisiana Be-
tween Ages OF 1920
To Be Enrolled For
War Work Sept. 28
Enrolment Buttons And Ser
vice Bars To Be Awarded
Those Who Work
Satisfactorily

Baton Rouge, La, Sept 2.-r'The
primary purpose of the United
States government in wishing to en-
roll boys in the Boys Working Re-
serve is not to secure the names of
boys who are willing to leave their
sential industrial plants" says State
Director Harris in a letter to sll the
chairmen of parish Councils of De-
fense, giving them detailed instruc-
tions on how to proceed in enroll
ing on September % the boys Of
louisiana who are between 16 and
20 years of age 'The government
appreciates the fact that there is an
Immense amount Of work which the
boys throughout this country can do
that will aid materially in winning
the war, and it wishes the boys to
feel that they are an important part
Of the great behind the lines army in
America"
An enrolment button is furnished
each boy when he joins the Reserve,
and a suitable service bar will be
given each boy who works satsfac-
torily for certain number of days
during the year. The buttons and
service bars will be furnished by the
national government through this of
fee.
"The parish Council of Defense
should not only enroll the boys in the
Boys Working Reserve, but it should
endeavor to ascertain where assist
ance is needed in harvesting the crops
and to bring together employers and
such of the boys who are not in school
and who are willing to leave their
homes to work.
State Director Harris emphasizes
Governor Peasants proclamation on
the subject, and urges each parish
defense council chairman to give
this important matter his immediate
and best attention with the view Of
enrolling on the 28th of September
all the boys in your parish, both
white and colored, who will agree to
engage in useful labor either on the
farm or in Industrial plants whenever
possible"
The state director urges that the
necessary number of enrolling Of
ficers be Immediately appointed for
the parious parish centers, and that
due publicity and complete arrange
ments be effected for a successful
enrolment day.

Selected Mothers Near Ar
my Camps To Look
After Boys For Mo-
theirs At Home
Those Having Sons Stationed In
Or Around San Antonio,
Texas, Should Address
Community Organizer

Real mothering by real mothers,
for home-sick boys in army camps all
over the country, may grow out of a
movement just started by Miss EN-
ma L. Adams of the War Camp Com
munity Service of San Antonio, Tex,
in answer to appeals from two moth
ers with sons in San Antonio camps.
The letters came at different times
from widely different places. The
first one read:
II have read that in every town
adjacent to military camps there is
a War Camp Community to give the
lads touch Of home-the only thing
Uncle Sam has omitted, and that only
because it takes a mother to do it.
My son has been in camp eight months
and t would surely delight him and
please me beyond expression if some
San Antonio mother would take no.
tice of him."
Miss Adams telephoned two moth.
ers who have been associated with
the work and gave them the letters.
An instant decision was made by
both, and the two mothers went in
search of the boys.
Miss Adams has been accommodating
a list of volunteer workers, and from
this list, as similar requests come in,
real mothers will be asked to act as
godmothers to the boys in the camps
here. There will be no "big-sister.
ing" Only to select mothers will the
names be given. The. boys will be
appraised of the movement through
camp papers, and the scamp moth,
ers' will keep in touch with the moth
ers at home by frequent letters.
Mothers having sons stationed at
any of the camps in San Antonio
should addres Miss Emma L. Adams,

Industrial Plants Are Urg
ed To Use Pea And
Slack Coal For Cur
rent Demands
Fuel Administrator For Louis

Allow Unlimited Buying
Of This Grade Of Fuel

New Orleans, Sept. 2.-In order
to provide a surplus of bituminous
coal for the winter emergency, in
dustrial plants now under fuel re-
strictions are advised to use pea and
slack coal for current demands John
G. O'Kelley, fuel administrator for
Louisiana, has been notified to allow
unlimited buying Of pea and slack
until September 10. Practically all
industries, except breweries, come
under the provisions Of this ruling.
"a great many plants will be un.
able to obtain their full requirements
of coal this winter" Mr.. O'Kelley ex.
planned. "For this reason, it is ad-
visable they obtain pea and slack
from Kentucky for current use. This
will enable them to store the better
grades of coal they may be receiving.
In order to keep production up to the
highest point and to obtain sufficient
lump coal for domestic consumers, a
certain amount of pea and slack coal
Is produced; if the operators are un-
able to dispose of the pea and slack,
+ will have the effect of cutting down
production"
Every effort is being made to have
consumers order their coal from Ken

bama are being diverted temporarily
for war industries. Shipments from
Kentucky can be filled on very short
notice, as the car movement from
