Aikali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully. if
you want to keep your hair looking its
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 Tor steady use is Just
ordinary mulsihed 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,
dandruf and excessive oil The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap and few
ounces will supply every member Of the
family for months,

Frank Bertram of Little Rock was down to see Miss Clara Rose Sunday. MT. Bertram will soon leave for Illinois. Cheer up Clara he will soon come back.
 Mrs. Sizemore returned home Sunday evening. A little son also returned with her, who was born while she was away. Doc is wearing his hat on the side of his head again.
 MT. and Mrs. Carl Lilly and MT. and Mrs. Fred Lilly were driving through Kellersville Sun day. We are glad to know they think of us once in awhile.
 Mrs. C. Bourne who was oper- ated un for cancer is getting along nicely but it proved to be only small tumor. Mr. and Mrs. Rose were very happy when they received the message. We all wish her a speedy recoy> cry and hope she will soon be in Kellersville.
 We have d nice little joke on the Rose girls. They drove to town in their buggy Friday and decided to stay for the entertain. ment. They would not drive around where anyone could see them so had to give two colored boy $ a quarter to take it to the barn. Girls that is awful: we will get you a car next time you go. They will leave for Little Rock Friday where Lois will at tend school Clara will return Sunday We will miss them very much as they are the only live wires in Kellersville.
 I think some one had better be preparing for winter as uncle Jim Narriamore got up. one morning to build fire and the wood box was empty, he went back to bed and said, Dove get up and get breakfast, see how late it is"
 Well we will not know what to write about next week as Kel- lersville will be dead.

 Just how improbable it may prove to run up against military rules and regulations was dem onstrated last week when Rob ert Berge, Go. F. Second Train. ing Regiment. wasnsenteuced to 20 years Imprisonment at Fort Leayenworth, to forfeit all pay and then to be dishonorably dis charged. for refusing to drill with his company when ordered to do so by his superior officers. He was tried by court martial.
 A concerted effort is being made by the "" secretaries of the camp to keep the men in their immediate area posted with re gard to the war news from over sea both by bulletins and by maps showing the progress of the Allied troops, All too many of the men are apt to feel that the war is just about over and quite often one hears them pre- dieting that they will be home before Christmas. Everyone wishes it were possible but no one with intelligence thinks it probable, and the task is to keep before the men realization of the need for the intensive train ing they are now undergoing here.
 Among the rew arrivals from New Mexico and Arizona are a large number of Mexicans who cannot understand a word of English and all conversations with the receiving and company officers has been through the medium of an interpreter. At the receiving station the other night the medical examiners were trying to separate the men who had measles from those who had not yet experienced that joy, but it proved an almost hopeless task. Some of the Mexicans did not seem to have any idea what
 measles" are and didn't know whether the officers were trying to get their own names or that of their home town.
 There is one main reason why the \. M. c. A. isin the army. It has as it's main objective the de- velopmedt of victorious soldiers. Clean and strong bodies. alert mental equipment and strong moral fibre are needed to make the best soldiers and the |. M. c. A. works earnestly to develop these qualities "

~ Camp Pike Notes

with interest the outcome of the fight between Colonel Miller and the Little Rock barber shops. The barbers announce that prices for hair cuts are to be advanced to 50 cents, and slaves to p cents. Colonel Miller, camp com. mandant, held that the price was unfair and said that if an attempt was made to enforce the rate for soldiers he would issue a memo randum advising the soldiers as well as the officers to keep away from the Little Rock shops, say ing that arrangements would be made to accomedate them in the camp.
 Another recent order by Col onel Miller prohibits the employ. ,ment of female helpers in the restaurants and amusement stands in Belmont. the little town at the entrance to the camp. The camp authorities likewise took a hand in the settlement of the lit ney problem and the rate is now 35 cents to the gate from Little Rock, and then ten cents more to any point in the camp. Camp Representatives are probing the matter of nigh prices in Little Rock and action is promised soon.
 The Y. M. 0. A. report for Au. gust shows it to have been the busiest month in the history of the camp. The total attendance at the sixteen buildings was 846. 155, gain over July of 200, 900. The number of envelopes given away free by the "Y" secretaries was 76.919. Pieces of mail handled through the "" build ings. 463. .334. The total amount of money orders. written. S56, 626. Nearly one hundred thou sand men attended the various religious services and they were given, upon their promise to read them daily, 14,542 testaments.
 A new feature of sport was in- troduced in the camp the other day when Casual Go. A, com posed of the new recruits from Western Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona, sent over to the Re mount Station for a half dozen of thelr widest horses. They proved so wild that half dozen men had been thrown before'an Indian, Thomas Benoska from Co. 67. Okmulgee. Okla, came along and rode the bucking ami nal. After that, a couple of Ok lahoma cowboys tackled the job with success.
 A " man had a strenuous experience a few nights ago when telegram came late announcing the death of the mother of a man from Bartlesyille. Okla, who had been in camp only day or two. Lights were out and the company was in one of the toughest parts of the camp in the new emergen- cy area. For an hour he stum- bled from barrack to barrack. calling out the SergeantS to search for the man wanted. But his persistence was finally re- warded when the man was locat- ed and promise secured from the lieutenant that the family would be notified by wire next morning and the man started home on the earliest train.
 
 A trade test school has been installed at Camp Pike where every man who has registered as having a special trade is exam ined carefully as to his experi- ence and qualifications.
