City Hall Middle,
Shoemaker Says

Speaking before a large aud
fence of women at the Whitman
school Tuesday afternoon. Fred
Shoemaker, candidate for council
man, declared that proper motto
for the present city council would
be Middle On and Middle
Thru"
in the payment OF salaries, in
the purchase of supplies, and in
the provision for the payment OF
debt there has been practically
no foresight shown" he said.
THE council has gone on a hand
to-mouth basis that has been the
despair of business men of the
city,"
Shoemaker said that he would
rather be out OF the city hall en-
tirely than remain there helpless
to remedy any of the faults which
are so evident to everyone.
He speaks at the South Tacoma
shops Friday noon.

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
90 much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless) 4,
and is better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroly.
Simply moisten 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, dan
druff and excessive Oil. The hair
drives quickly and evenly, and II
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member Of the family
for months.

having said that the Germans had a
right to sink the Lusitania and she
does not want to see the Germans run
over. She denies, 1t is alleged. that the
Germans are Huns and says that the
Huns are an extinct race. Also 1t Is
alleged that she has denounced the
film depicted as representing Ambassa-
dor Gerards four years in Germany,
as a fake gotten up to make prejudice
in America. Mrs. Sines Is a native OF
Germany, only three or four years in
America. She has been released on a

Is that she will probably be tried at the
approaching term Of the United States
district court in Rock Hill.

Continuing their ;.ttack between
the Aisne and the Marnc, the French

cannon fodder in comparatively large
numbers as an addition to their Sene-
galese auxiliaries.
Dense masses Of blacks and Ameri-
cans were hurled against the German
lines They paid for It in some hum
drcd thousands of killed negroes and
Americans. In some places they ad-
vanced to attack sixteen waves deep.
One wave after the other broke down
in the German artillery and machine
gun fire.
"On the third day the American In
fantry began to hault ut the first rush,
throwing themselves down as soon as
the German artillery commenced.
When the firing continued they retir-
ed rapidly so that at times their at
tack became a hurried fight.
ION many occasions the German in
fantry stood up in the trenches, and
while standing there received the
American battalion of the second
American division with salvos of rifle
fire.
In the attack on July 81 American
battalions Of the second division. adj
