Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully.
IL you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aIlsalt.
This dries the scalp. makes the hatr
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary muIsified cocoanut oil,
(Which Is pure and greaseless), and 81
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sims
ply noisten 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, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and 1t leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lugtrous,
fluffy. and easy to manage,
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil

troops thither as reply to the Brit
ish landing there.
While the Soviet majority repudiat-
ed all possibility Of a renewal Of the
war, the Social Revolutionists Of the
Left insisted on O. merciiess strug-
gle, against "imperialistic plunderers
and German robbers.

ReVoluttonists Of the Left, including
sailors from the Black Sea fleet, oc-
Cured in Moscow, July q, 1t was

Russian congress was the denuncia-
ton by War Minister Trotzky Of the
action Of the Allies in landing on the
Thurman coast "and in helping the
Czecho -Slovaks. He threatened mer-
CHESS measures of defense and on
July 10, M. Tchitcherin in a note to
the British representatives in Mos

the results which may arise from
the extreme unrest among the masses
of the Russian population by the un
provoked British attack on Thurman.
On the same date II former Off
GERS. who had served under General
AleXieff. were summarily shot in
