Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your 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
sifed cocoanut oil, for it 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 moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is ali
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy 1ather, clcanses 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 Ioosens and
takes out every particle Of dust dirt and
daudrud.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will

use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

Small Farmers Have Big Opportunity
to Put Their Savings Into
Uncle Sans
Golfers.
SECURITIES ARE GOOD
All of Uncle Sans Bonds and Stamps
Are Safe and Sound and Peo-
pie Can Invest
Without Fear.

Occasionally, when the private cit
lien of limited means sits down to
ponder the fact that the government
already has arranged to spend some
S21 900, 100000 for war purposes. he Is
staggered, overwhelmed by the i'm
mensity of the sum. There Is not
that much money in the United
States" he says to himself II don't
see how it can be DONE"
At first glance, it does appear diff
cut Of accomplishment 1t is true that
that huge amount is more than three
times as much money as there Is in
the Unit II States treasury and sub
treasures and in general circulation
But the big fact-big fact for the gov
eminent and for the man with limited
incomes this All the money in the
United States will change hands three
times while the $21,000,0 100000 is be-
ing spent. The workman in the field
and in the mine and in the factory will
receive his remunerative pay; he will,
in turn, disburse his earnings-some
for the necessities Of life, some for
his little amusements and Injuries, and
some for his savings account.
How to Invest savings.
Here lies another big cas important
fact. Not only will he save money OF
his earnings. but the grocer to whom
he gives part of his earnings will save
some, and so will the shoe dealer and
the doctor and the clothier and the
baker and the butcher All will save
some-and they will strive TO put their
savings to the best possible use. How
best can they use their savings? All
things considered, they can do no bet
ter than lend their money to the gov
eminent, which must be enabled to
continue to purchase iron and steel
and clothing and food and machinery
with which to carry on the war for
the world freedom that will spell con-
tinued prosperity for all the people.
Unless the government is provided
with funds at this time to make new
contracts and pay for new materials
the mines and the shops either must
close down entirely or curtail activi-
ties, with the result that the pay rolls
will be cut and the number Of work
ers reduced With curtailment of in
dustria1 and commercial activities, the
market for the farmers produce nee
essarily will be narrowed and cheap
ened The more literally and gen.
orally the people purchase govern
ment war securities, the more money
the government will have to spend
and the more wages the workman will
receive for steadier time. Money must
be kept in circulation in order that
industrial and commercial activities
may be continued.

may be possible that he will be

Practically everybody who had coal
enough to do for one day longer was

are managing to keep warm with oil

full of coal left in their cellars.
