Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely 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
will last the whole family for months.
Simply nosten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily, The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

According to word received today
from Peoria, the old trap is to be de-
stroyed Immediately after the Carter

The Peoria county trap was shipped

already constructed the scaffold. The
scaffold was built in sections so that

sible that the scaffold will not be
erected until late Thursday afternoon.
The scaffold is to be enclosed by 20
foot fence and none will be admitted
except those with cards of admission
issued by the sheriff The trap also
will be covered so that the execution
cannot be seen from above.
The last trap used for the execution
of William Heilwagon in March, 1882,
was borrowed from the Henry county
authorities at Cambridge, III. He'll

Of the county Jail on the afternoon OF
