Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampOos
contain too much alxali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp ana
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsifed cocOanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greRseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything 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 a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dan

Senate Military Committee
to Suspend Inquiry
Thursday
BAKER WILL BE
LAST WITNESS
Eisenman Defends Work of
Supplies Committee
For Its Savings
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 9.-In order to
quickly press on the senate legisla-
ton which it regards as necessary to
improve the army purchasing sys-
tenn, the senate military committee
late yesterday decided to suspend its
war inquiry after hearing Secretary
Baker the latter part of this week on
war ordnance and supplies.
Mr.. Baker was invited to appear
Thursday and when his examination
Is completed, the committee plans to
report to the senate on the progress
Of its investigation and recommend
legislation which Chairman Cham
berlain is expected to outline in the
report. A bill to create q department
Of munitions with q civilian head al
ready has been introduced by Sem
ator Chamberlain. but details of 9TH
er proposed measures have not been
disclosed.
Examination of Charles Eisenman,
vice chairman Of the supplies COM
mittee of the council of national de-
Tense, was completed Tuesday, and
the committee will wind up the cloth
ing branch Of its inquiry today.
In his testimony, Mr.. Eisenman de-
Tended the work Of the supplies com
mittee, its policies and personnel and
criticised the war departments pur-
chasing system, which, he said, was
handicapped by red tape" and the
lack of officers trained in business
The committee, he said, had saved
the government not less than $751;
100000 on purchases and he denied
that any members Of the committee
had sought advantage through their
official positions for companies in
which they were financially interest
ed.
Nathaniel Stevens of North An
dover, Mass, president of the Ma
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers, told the committee the use OF
shoddy in army garments has not
made them inferior or less warm. The
shoddy recommendations of the
committee which the
supplies committee approved, were
designed, Mr.. Stevens said, both to
prevent a shortage OF raw wool, and
to increase production to meet the
army's extraordinary needs.

THE SOLDIER AND THE PUBLIC

What makes my blood boil' said
young recruit home on a furlough
from Camp Dodge lis the attitude of
the public toward the soldier. 1 went
to a church entertainment given for
soldiers at Des Moines, and they
wouldn't let any Of the girls leave
the church with a soldier. They
seem to think the soldier is an infer
Tor being or a social and moral
leper."
The young man is wrong.
The average citizen these days, feels
a sense of inferiority in the presence
Of any man in a uniform. If he is
still in the prime Of life, the average
man cringes a little, no matter how
good his reasons may be for net be-
ing in khaki.
Whatever the attitude of these
good women in Des Moines may be.
and whether it is mistaken or not, is
unimportant. The one big fact re-
mains that the uniform was never
respected as it is today. The man in
khaki, whether he wears the bar Of
an officer or not, is admired, respect
ed and just a little bit enVied. If
there is the slightest semblance of
doubt about it, attendance at any
dance or social function where young
people gather, should dispel it.
The agitation fer better moral con-
ditions around the camps may have
done the soldier an injustice, but 1t
was vitality important work, and the
soldier who feels that he carries any
stigma because of it, is making an
unfortunate mistake.
Interiors? We know men in Fargo
who hold important places in the
business world, who would shine the
shoes of the youngest recruit iii
khaki, IL any purpose were to be
served by it, and who would give
their own shoes to be in the recruits
position.

of the British treasury, at the First
| Congregational church.
Dora" refers to the Defense Of the
! Realm Act, and a common English
question is: Have I offended
Dora?"

everything-what we shall eat, do,

The Canary Girls"
The canary girls" are the woman
munition workers in factories where
that superexplosive "T. N. T." is
turned out. They are called that be-
cause their skin inevitably becomes
a yellowish hue from the effects Of
the powerful chemicals they work
with. There are eight hundred
thousand of them in all.
England has done an unprecedented
thing I'm establishing an order to
which women are eligible, the order
Of the British Empire" in which
civilians only are decorated. Recent
ly three young munition girls were
decorated in this order for their
bravery, endurance and courage in
facing the risks of munitions MAX
ing.
The "V. A. DIS" are the members
of the voluntary aid detachments, i'm
which women are enrolled to aid the
Cross. Unlike the American Red
Cross, Miss Fraser said, the British
organization is concerned only with
nursing. These ~. "A. DIS" have
served in France, in Italy, in Serbia,
where they remained at their posts
to nurse wounded Serbians and were
captured by Austrians, and in CAL
lipoli, where they saw the awful
slaughter Of some Of the finest Brit

CHARGE BIG FRAUDS

Plot Said to Have Cost Gov

pense of the government was disclos-
ed with the indictment by the federal
grand jury of eleven men, one clerk
In the quartermaster' department of
the army, on charges of fraud.
Investigations which will extend to
other cities, federal authorities be-
lieve,9 will show the government, has
suffered to the extent of 5000, 900.
At the same time it was stated the
indictments would serve to terminate
further conspiring and save the gov
eminent from millions more in losses.
Eight of the defendants are manu-
facturers of army uniforms
The profiteering is made possible,
federal investigators explained, by the
methods in which the cloth is cut.
From material which the government
estimated would provide a dozen uni
forms, the manufacturers would cut
ten or less, according to the authori-
ties. The excess cloth, known to the
trade as clippings" would be resold,
either to the government itself or to
other manufacturers.
Some of the defendants, Lieu enant
Barnitz,, of the New York police, said,
represented to the government their
clippings" amounted To- per cent.
whereas, actually. due to their meth.
DDS of cloth cutting, they amounted t
per cent, the difference representing
the excess cloth alleged to have been
retained
Owing to the alleged activity of a
civilian clerk in the army in connec,

easy for concealment to be effected

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off 10y toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product il
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is rot
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just IS cooking improves
meat, for example.

However his military fame may ex-

by his civil magistracy that Washing

Such a chief magistrate as Washing
ton appears like the pole star in clear

His presidency will form an epoch and

place in the political region. Like the
Milky Way, it whitens along its allot-
ted portion of the hemisphere. The
latest generations of men will survey
through the telescope of history, the
space where so many virtues blend
their rays and delight to separate them
into groups and distinct virtues. AS
the best illustration of them, the living
monument to which the first of pa
triots would have chosen to consign his
fame, it is my earnest prayer to heayA
that our country may subsist, even in
that late day, in the plenitude of Its
liberty and happiness and mingle Its
mild glory with Neutrality-suspicious.
