Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkall. which is very iniuri-
Gus. as II dries the scalp and makes tho
bair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure and en-
tirely 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 viii
last the whole family for months.
Simply molsten the hair with water and
rub It in, about a teaspoonful is all that
is required. II makes an abundance OF
rich, creamy leather, cleanses thoroughly,

quickly and evenly, ana is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy 10

DEMOCRATIC 'BIG BERTHAs"

From the Laurel Leader
Enraged because OF the futility OF
their attempts 10 create dissatisfaction
In the harmony plan before the Repub-
lican State Convention was held. Dem
ocratic organs are now giving plain evil
dence OF their actual fear OF over
whelming defeat at the coming election,
by firing their hot shots at very early
date. This bring TO mind a rather inter-
esting comparison, for big guns loaded
properly or fired fairly should bring
result, but let us recall the glorlus city
Of Paris and the lack Of the German
big Berthas TO do more than minor
damage and even that could not estab-
lish' the slightest fear or feeling among
the occupants Of that city.
And so ii Is with the Democratic big
guns. They have been loosened at an
early date, evidently because the es-
tablishment OF a sincere harmony in the
Republican ranks in Delaware has been
proven sound. Naturally the Democra-
tic organs must look TO a vicious often
siye and they must have reason for
their fear, for the attacks are based
alone on the fear Of utter defeat.
Republicans are satisfied TO the lasl
degree with the State ticket that has
been selected and their satisfaction is

STORIES
ABOUT LOSSES
OF US. BOYS
War Department Attributes
Rumors of Deaths to Ger
man Propaganda.

Rumors that there have been
large losses among American troops
on the western front, were not only
stamped as false last night by the
War Department, but the circula-
tion Of such stories was attributed
to German propaganda. This was
calculated to produce unrest while
efforts were being made to mobilize
new armies.
Acting Secretary of War Crowell.
after a long conference with Gen.
Peyton C. March. chief of staff, an
nounced that the casualty lists
sent by Gen. Pershing within the
last few days were of minor num-
bers. He adds that there will be no
suppression Of bad news.
He made the following announce
ment:.
Pending the receipt from Secre-
tary Baker of a reply to a cable
gram from the War Department
asking specifically IL his order di-
recting that all publication with
reference to persons in the Ameri-
can expeditionary force be given
out from Gen. Pershing's headquar-
ters, forbade the publication from
the War Department of lists of
casualties, the w Department an
nounces that the lists of casualties
which have been received from
Gen. Pershing daily during the past
four days have been absolutely mi
nor in numbers and that there has
been no great loss on our western
front reported.
should there be a report of large
losses or a disaster Of any kind,
the fact will not be concealed. but
the figures at least will be given
out Immediately. The relatives of
the soldiers named in the casualty
lists during the last four days have
Eeen already informed.
1T is understood by the depart
ment that a German propaganda
has been initiated for the purpose
of causing unrest and dissseminat-
ing the idea that there has been a
large casualty list on the other side
among the American forces, but not
only on this occasion. but on all oc-
casions the public may be assured
that there will be no suppression
of bad news"
