Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- slbly injure the hair.
 Simply moistcn your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scaip thoroughly. The father rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt. dandrutt and excessive oil The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy ts manage.
 4ou can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheao. and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

Luncheon of Workers at Southern
Club Today When Reports of
Campaign VIII Be
Made

The movement to raise 100000
for the consolidation of Birming
ham college and Southern univer-
sity is proving to be one of the
most popular yet undertaken in
Birmingham, Judging from the
manner in which subscriptions
are coming in and the way in
which business men are falling in
line and entering as team work
ers to solicit subscriptions.
Decided impetus was given the move
ment yesterday when General Team Cap
tain Arthur c. Crowder received a let
ter from the Liberty Loan headquarters
wherein Chairman Jackson OF the Biz
mingham zone and Chairman Coffin Of
the Jefferson county and Birmingham
campaign have given their approval oil
the campaign, since the funds received
are to be invested in Liberty Bonds, and
they have authorized each and every So
licitor to sell Liberty Bonds for this pur-
pose. The letter, which is signed joint
ly by the two chairmen, follows:
Birmingham, Ala, April 90. 1918.
Mr.. A. c, Crowder. General Team
Manager Campaign to Bring South
efn University to Birmingham, City.
My Dear Sir: In view of the assur-
ance that all money collected from
subscriptions heretofore made to the
Birmingham college fund and future
subscriptions. which are to be secured
for this fund, are all to be paid in
Liberty Bonds, as chairmen of the
third Liberty Loan committees we
are pleased to authorize each and all
of the working teams of the college
campaign to take subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan Bonds
Permit us to say also that instead
of your campaign interfering with or
diverting the public mind from the
Liberty Loan campaign now on. in our
opinion it will serve to search out and
secure subscriptions which, perhaps,
would not be reached by the regular
allied army,
1t is with pleasure that we inderse
your movement, not only for the
reasons named, but also because of
the great cultural and financial bene-
fits which would come from bringing
the Southern university from Green's
boro to Birmingham Yours very
truly, F.. M. JACKSON,
Chairman Birmingham Zone Liberty

SINS PAST AND PRESENT
Senator Lewis took Germany to task
for her sins. past and present. He merel-
lessly arraigned her for the inception of
this gigantic struggle that she has forced
upon the world many and many years
ago. His finished portrayal of her fiend-
ish aims, her gluttonous desire to con-
quer, and his firm belief in her final
downfall at the hands of the allies, of
whom America is one, and his master ap-
peal to the people to buy bonds, were
the outstanding features of an address
that enraptured and thrilled his audience
for one hour and eight minutes At
the conclusion of his address vociferous
applause reigned for several minutes.
Senator Lewis said in part:
