Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II 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 mulsihcd cocoanut
OIL (Which IS pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex.
pensive soap or anything else YOU can
use Tor shanpooing as this can't pos.
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It IN. One or two teaspooniuls
will make an abundance OF rich. creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rnses OH, cas-
lily and removes every particle OF dust,
dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves II fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

NEXT THREE MONTHS MOST
CRITICAL IN WORLD WAR.

Indications are that the next three
months will mark the crisis in the
World War. Military critics and
authorities, generally, agree that i'm
pending events, scheduled to take
place within the next 80 days, may
spell success or disaster for the Allied
forces. The Russian debacle, has
firmly reseated German m%ilitarists in
the saddle and they are better pre-
pared to wage war today, than they
have been for two years.
At the present time the American
Army is far from able to hold it's own
against the trained veterans of the
Central powers, and the United States
military leaders are doing all in their
power to bolster up the Regular Army
to enable it to meet the %onslaughts
of the Huns; to hold it's line intact un-
til sufficient men can be transported
to France to undertake offensive war
fare.
Recent reports from France, to the
effect that the Germans have the mas
terry of air over the American sector,
on the Western battlefront in France
have prompted Major John D. Yost,
Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota
District, to make a further appeal for
men for the Aviation Section of the
Signal Corps. Mechanics and men
familiar with gas engines are parti-
cularly desired, but there are open
ings in that branch of the service for
tradesmen of all kinds. Garage men
and chauffeurs, vulcanizers, any and
all men who have had experience with
gasoline motors are urged by Major
Yost to come forward and join the
ranks Of the Regular Army for the
period Of the war. For every aviator
in active service at the front, so men
are required for ground work to main
tain him as an active fighting in
dividual.
The need for men is most urgent
at the present. time, and wonderful
opportunities are open for men to adj
vance, in the Aviation Section. The
way to the actual flying schools is
open at all times, and men are ad-
'vanced rapidly who show marked
proficiency in their work. Applicants
for enlistment are accepted at U. s.
Army Recruiting Station in the State.

HERE'S PLEA FROM FRONT
Lillian Gish Says You'd Buy Bonds
IL You Saw War
Itself.
BY MISS LILLIAN 0l3H,
TMovie Star Once in War Zone.1

Movie Star Once in War Zone
If you had seen the war as I have,
you would buy Liberty bonds.
I have seen mother standing in the
doorway Of her little home, and in the
room into which she looked were the
mangled bodies Of her two babes.
have seen between two and three
hundred mothers massed outside
schooiyard gate, screaming and tug
ging at the Boobies" to let them en-
ter. In the wrecked schoolhouse were
the torn and battered bodies Of school
children. A Hun raider had bombed
them.
In London, on the Strand, I have
seen row after row Of stretchers bear
ing the broken bodies of men and
women on q street strewn with shat
tered glass. These were civilians, not
soldiers; sleeping in their homes when
the building fell.
These things I have seen. I have
heard all night long terrific cannon
ade in the worlds greatest city, the
burst of shrapnei and the sound of
bombs. Outside my window I have
heard the cries and means Of dying
human beings, victims of the enemy in
the air.
This is not talk. These are things
have seen and heard; and yet have
seen and heard so little it Is hardly
worth talking about.
But it makes me want to buy Lib
erty bonds.
