Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your haiI
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teasnoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev-
cry particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every
member of the family for MONTHS

cepted. Out of this awful strife
must come the supremacy of the
principles of God. The peace we
seek is no mere international adjust
ment; it is the breaking forever or
a malign power on earth, which has
palpably done the will of the evil
one, and the substitution of right
eousness and good will.
The biography of Jesus comes to a
climax. Like so many of our dear
dead, who have quit life sacrifically.
in the glory of their youth, and in
the act of sacrifice, Jesus did not
have to endure the trial of seeing
His tasks slip from His hands one by
one, while His vitality slowly peter
ed out through the long years. Old
age is honorable, and may be beauti-
full; but there is something of the
sublime and climateric in the life
that ends at is very apex. Some
how. we cannot think of Christ apart
from His cross. 1t was the fulfill
In the army, there is beautiful
phrase concerning the fallen SOL
dier,-"He won a wooden cross, the
highest decoration" BY the grave
of every fallen soldier there is erect
ed a plain wooden cross, with the
marks of Identification. No other
symbol is used in all of France.
True, the French put flowers and
wreaths upon the graves of their
own and the allied dead. AS one
travels over the area of battle he
sees these forests of crosses. The
symbolism of it impresses even a
dullard. These heroes have followed
Christ to a cross. They have died
that others may live. In noble self
surrender, they have given up their
life for mankind. Fittingly, the sign
of their victory is a cross.
Home folk are wearing their
crosses on their hearts, out of sight.
They have entered with their below
ed fallen into the fellowship of the
cross. They know the sorrow and
majesty of surrender. How many
mother Marys there are whose
hearts have been pierced by the
sword in these days! All the world
is coming the lesson of the cross.
Among builders of churches 1t has
been common practice to panel the
doors in a cross. The cross has
become a door. By it we enter into
a new unity of experience. By 1t we
approach to an understanding of the
deepest meaning of the life and
death of the Redeemer who died on
the cross, that all who follow Him
might live sacrificially, sublimely,
and serenly more.

lieve in the attitude taken by the
party toward the war in what has
come to be known as the st. Louis
resolution 1 do not believe in
pledging the party to acts of vio-
lence. For l do not regard the bel
ligerents as equally guilty. I know,
for instance. that Belgium is not
guilty at all and that Germany is
guilty of all. 1 know the govern
ment of the United States wages war
for neither money nor land, while
both money and land. I know that
Germany. any moment she will ac-
cept it, can get just peace, and 1
feel that until she will accept a just
peace she should be compelled to ac-
cept war.

could happen to the world than to
be placed under the heel of German
Imperialism. 1 sever my relations

the belligerents upon a parity and,

After commenting on the nom
Americanism of the foreign-born
leaders and members of the Social
ist party, Mr.. Benson's letter con-
tfnueS:
"A few men in the party who
should have known better have ac-
cepted and proclaimed the false doc
trine that a workingman can have
no country, and therefore that it is
immaterial to him whether the
country in which he lives. if 1t be at
war, shall be defeated or not.
For these reasons Mr.. Benson
concludes. "I now take leave of the
Socialist party year after I ceased
to agree with it. 1t seemed to me
that, having been at the head of the
national ticket two years ago, 1t was
particularly my duty to wait and see

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Countless minds are seeking to see
clearly the relation between the
world war, with it's implications and
the great principles of righteousness
and religion. For a time, especially
in England, there was a rather fran
tic questing after occult beliefs, as
if the key might be with them; but
that vagary has been largely given
up. There is now a return to the
great simplicities of the life and
teachings of Jesus. We perceive,
with growing clearness that He has
the master word for this perplexing
time. So a study of this opportune
Sunday School Lesson takes us
straight into the realms of the prin-
ciples of God which are related to
the war.
Jesus caused this war. If nations
had not been sitting at His feet even
so heedlessly, there would have been
none to take up the sword of right
eousness when the spirit of the Anti
Christ went forth to smite the ma
tions into submission to its cruel
sway. The present conflict is more
nearly akin to that of Saint George
and the Dragon than any war ever
before waged. We do not by any
means argue for the impeccability
of St George-meaning thereby our
selves-but we are clear that he is
doing Gods work in the Staying of
the Dragon. Out of this struggle
has emerged new sense of the
awfulness of injustice and cruelty;
standards are now being fixed that
will not easily be relaxed. And those
standards are the standards of
Jesus. Despite all of its callousing
awfulness, this war has become the
war of spiritual vision. John Oxen
ham has shown, in one of his poems,
what it means to the soldier to be
face to face with reality:
What did you see out there my lad,
That has set that look in your
eyes?
You went out a boy, you have come
back a man.
With strange new depths under
meath your tan;
What is it you saw out there, my
lad,
That set such deeps in your eyes?"
Strange things. and sad. and won
derful-
Things that scarce can tell;
have been in the sweep of the
Reaper's seythe,
With God, and Christ, and he'll.
at have seen Christ doing Christly
deeds;
I have seen the devil at play;
have gripped to the sod in the
hand of God,
I have seen the goddess pray.
''I have seen Death blast out sud
denly
From the clear blue summer sky;
have slain like Cain with blazing
brain,
I have heard the wounded cry.
''I have lain alone among the dead,
With no hope but to die;
I have seen them killing the wound
ones,
have seen them cruelty.
ct have seen the devil in petticoats
Wiling the souls of men;
have seen great sinners do great
deeds,
And turn to their sins again.
"I have sped through hells of fiery
hail,
With fell red-fury shod;
have heard the whisper of a voice.
have looked in the face of God"
