Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

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 mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless) Is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls 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, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves it fine
and silky, bright fluffy and easy to
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.--Adv.

HUNS NAY CHANGE
WAR PROGRAM
tcoasinusd Trom rars one,

other measures are beginning to place
at General Foch's disposal enough re-
serves to enable him to strike hard
at any weakened point. but the trans
portation Of . sufficient force to offset
the Italian victory must necessarily
be slow.
Secretary Baker pointed out that the
ltaiians took full advantage of the
rise of the Piave behind the enemy.
Indications are that the flower oil
the Austrian army has been virtually
annihilated and the Italians are driv-
ing home their victory relentlcssly.
Every day means further dlsorganiza-
tion among the Austrians. At the
present rate, German reinforcements
must, arrive quickly and in force,
many officers believe, unless the Aus
trian war machine is to be crippled at
least for months to come.
Food Riots Serious.
Meanwhile official reports show the
growing seriousness Of food riots in
Austria. The people apparently are
IN no condition to stand . great mill
tsry reverse. Immediate German ac-
tion to support her ally seems abso-
lutely necessary in the view OF officials
here, unless the backdoor TO Berlin
itself is to be left unguarded.
There have been many signs re-
Gently that General Foch was rapidly
getting into shape Q strong reserve
force. The employment of the AM
criean and Italian divisions has served
70 release French troops for rest and
rehabilitation.
There are indications also that the
edsct OF the British man power legis-
lation is being felt at the front. The
divisions which suffered severely in
the German assaults apparently have
been out Of the line for some time.
The recent successful resistance Of
the Italians near Rheims was in po-
sidons formerly held by these British
units.
Where Experts Differ.
Whether General Foch is prepared
to take advantage OF the diversion
caused by the Austrian disaster can.
not be foretold. Some observers here,
including Italian officials, believe that
the situation on the Italian front Is
so grave for the Germans that they
would be compelled to transfer their
main operations to that theater, leav-
ing only defensive forces in the west
Some officials, here, however, ex-
pcct the Germans to hit hard in France
in order to cover whatever other
steps they are compelled to take for
the relief of Austria. Repeated blows
along the allied front. II is argued,
would tend to keep General Foch
4 from inaugurating an inter-allied Of
fensivc in Italy and might impede
plans for great counter drive in
France.
The accelerated movement OF Am
erican troops to France is going
ahead without confusion. There IS
certainty in the minds of high officials
that In excess OF 100000 men will
have been shipped before July /. Or
iginally it was not hoped to reach this
figure, but the shipping obtained from
Great Britaint has proved sufficient
TO increase the program.

bend Bolshevik gunboats, protected b.

have delivered a bombardment witt
