Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. 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
l. justified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. 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 a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly and
is soft. fresh looking, bright, fluffy
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

AT WORK BY FALL
Nations League in Effect by
That Time-Paris.
Little Interest in American OPP
position From Conferees.

Paris, March 4.-The league of ma
lions, according to the opinion pre-
vailing in official circles here today,
will start functioning soon after the
general peace settlement is effected.
certainly not later than early fall.
The great majority of the peace
delegates apparently are agreed that
the present covenant represents the
composite world view as nearly as pos
Sible and that it will be adopted prac-
tically as it stands. While there is
still intense interest in the attitude at
Washington, attacks on the league
constitution-such as those of Ssna-
tor Lodge and Senator Knox-have
not created the impression that was
expected among the foreign con-
ferees. The latter feel the American
opposition has touched only on plans
that were thoroly thyeshed out and
agreed to in discussions by the league
committee.
While the basic principles of the
league are expected to remain as out
lined at present, there seems to be no
doubt that many of the details will
undergo some changes when the con-
stitution comes up for open debate
before the general peace conference.

Lemons Beauty!
Strain lemon juice well before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi-
tons. Wind-chafe. roughness, tan
and redness are warded off and those
tell-tale lines of care or of age are
Softened away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in. then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months Ev-
cry woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan, and is the ideal skin softener.

Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands, and see for yourself.-Adv.

ward, Says Executive.
Also Urges That Soldiers Be

Governor Allan, unable to attend the
presidents conference with governors
and mayors regarding reconstruction
problems, has sent the president
lengthy message outlining some of the
things which he feels might better
conditions in this country. The Kan
saS executive wants a number of war
boards abolished, he wants cheaper
living conditions, and rigid enforce
9nent of all laws against boarding and
profiteering.
In his kilograms to President Will
son, the governor expresses his regrets
at being unable to attend the confer
ence. Then he offers a few sugges-
tions for better conditions in this
country. He said:

purpose of the reconstruction conference,
which Secretary Wilson has called at your
direction. 1t is matter of serious re-
closing days of our legislative session

II believe that the reconstruction confer
ence should give consideration to some
obvious conditions which affect the pres
ent hour and which could be corrected i'm
mediately.
There yet remains in existence a num-
Der of war boards whose activities call for
continued expenditures, but whose real
functions became unimportant with the
actual closing of the war. There yet re
main at various camps, environments and
training stations in this country large
number of men and officers. eager to re-
turn to normal life. In many instances
their personal fortunes suffer because they
are still held subject to service. They are
drawing government pay which in the ag-
gregate amounts to a large sum. The COM
plete rehabilitation both of special war
boards and of the military forces now in
camps in this country would not only re-
lieve us of a burden of expense, but hasten
our return to normal conditions.
Il believe that grave consideration
should be given by the conference to the
obvious fact that boarded food supplies
are in the hands of profiteers. Nothing
