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
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
sibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspooufuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mu1sihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store tits very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

KE0KUK PREPARES FOR
GREAT PATRIOTIC EVENT
school board at regular meeting
held last evening. The request was
unanimously granted.
Keep the Flags Flying.

It is very appropriate that the flags
are flying Monday morning when the
visitors come to town. Every flag In
the city should fly from business
house and private residence. The
glorious emblem of the land OF the
free and the home of the brave
should wave in all its splendor when
the patriotic speakers, band and drill
SQUADS arrive See to 1t that the
stars and stripes have a consc1puous
place.
Stores Will Be Closed.
Entering into the spirit of the occa-
sion the business houses OF the city
will be closed during the exercises.
Mayor Lotion has issued proclama-
ton requesting such action and the
merchants gladly acquiesed. Every
body is cooperating to make THIS
gala occasion and entering into the
spirit of it with unm1stakable en-
thusiasm. Keokuk wants to convince
her visitors that she is 100 percent
American. You can assist the bust
ness men by getting in your mer-
chadise orders very early Monday
morning or holding them until the
close of the exercises.
OF FOATSu IsoSssy .S's
It is the belief that Iowa will go
over the top for the Fourth Liberty
loan in three days. That was the
unanimous opinion of nearly five hun
dred members of the Iowa Liberty
loan organization which attended a
meeting in Des Moines recently to
arrange for the cam paign. J. Albert
Kiedaisch, chairman of the Lee
county publicity committee, and J. a.
Dunlap, chairman of the Lee county
Liberty loan committee, attended this
meeting. 1t is important that keokuk
make a fine showing in order to take
her place with the other progressive
cities of the state. To do this means
that quick and liberal response
must be made when the Liberty cam
paign starts in this city and In the
county. 1t is not too early to give
thought to this fourth Liberty loan
appeal and arrange your affairs to
respond without delay. If you can't
fight your money can, and to loan 1t
to the government now is to give
great encouragement to the boys who
are now in the trenches and on the
firing line Keokuk has met every war
appeal enthusiastically and generous
ly. Men, money and food will win
the war. This appeal is for money.
1t will officially arrive the 2Sth Of
this month. Prepare for 1t. Those
having the local campaign In charge
are very anxious that Keokuk and
the southern half of Lee county sub
scribe their quotas quickly.
Don't think about the money. That
will come back to you with interest.
Think about the brave young Ameri-
cans who are fighting and suffering
and dying cover there" for liberty.

NOTED VIOLINIST COMING
vINCENZO CULLOTTA APPEARS IN TWO CONCERTS ON
THE SECOND DAY

To win the enthusiastic approval
of such a well known musical critic
as Robert Hichens, Of the London
World, marks Vincenzo Gullotta,
the noted italian violinist, to be
heard at our Chautauqua, as q
musician much out of the ordinary.
After hearing him in q recent con-
cert, Mr.. Kitchens wrote, "Gullotta
plays with beautiful expression and
understands the desire of the COM
poser he interprets. He is an artist
and his music comes not only from
the head, but from the heart"
Vincenzo Gullotta is an artist of
substantial gifts and large accom-
plishment. He has temperament
and musical feeling and to these
native qualities he adds an admiY-
ably developed technic and a broad
masterful style. His winning per-
sonality assists in making popular
the programs Of peculiar musical
excellence which he and his COM
pany present on the second day.
His sympathy with the audience
and his ability to understand must
cal matters from their viewpoint,
as well as from the standpoint OF
an artist, enables him to win the
confidence and admiration of his
hearers.

j. g. Herbsman, one of the best
known lecturers of the West, was
one of the representatives at the
National Conference of Lecturers
recently called in Washington and
brings to Chautauqua audiences
frst-hand the story of what the
Government is accomplishing in
this country and what it expects of
every individual.
Captain Wood Briggs, Of the
Texas National Guard, is another
lecturer who brings stirring
patriotic appeal Until his COM
mand is ordered abroad, Captain
Briggs has been released by the
Government for Chautauqua lecture
work. 1t is messages such as this
distinguished young Southerner pre-
sents that are helping to mobilize
the mind of America and bring unity
behind the fighting lines.
Perhaps the outstanding lecture
of the week will be on the second
night in the coming of Sergeant
Gibbons of the Third Canadian
Infantry. This young Canadian
was member of the first contingent
of 10000 to go overseas. He was
in all of the early fighting of the
war, wounded severely at Ypres,
lay helpless on the battlefield for
four days and was then taken
prisoner by the Germans. His
story of seven months in German
prison camps and hospitals is one
of the most thrilling lectures upon
the American platform.
The music of the week ranges
from the splendid selections Of the
Ladies Symphony Orchestra to the
unique concert given by the native
Kaffir boys of South Africa on the
closing night.
On the opening day comes one
of the sterling attractions of the
