Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
il you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulSiticd cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and grcascless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two tcaspoonfuls will
cleanse tho hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moistcn tho hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather. which rinscs
out easily. removing every 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 mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap.
and n few ounces will supply every
member OF the family for months

ARE MANY OUTPOSTs

WASHINGTON, June 28-Com-
plction Of forts and housing accom-,
modations along the Mexican border
undertaken by the War Department
to ameliorate the trials of the troops
serving as patrols, will give the
United States its first real fortified
frontier.
Regularly established army posts
along the international boundary now
total more than twoscore, with pro-
badly as many more outpost posi-
tions, each accommodating troop of
cavalry or an infantry platoon. The
three-year watch of the American
troops led the War Department nm
ally to decide that permanent hous-
ing should be furnished.
The cost of this construction to
the government has been small.
Major Gen. De Rosey C. Cabell, com
manding the Southern Department,
was authorized to visit the camps in
his department which were to be
abandoned and to claim any material
needed. Entire buildings were trans
ported to the border and re-erected
by the troops. Only small quantity
of new lumber and equipment was
used.
Official maps just issued by the
War Department designate the fol
lowing points as "army posts"

PEACE is WORTHLESS
Bitterness Toward Erzberger Calling
Treaty "Erzberger's Peace" and
"Germany's Death"

COPENHAGEN, June 28-The ac-
ceptance of the Peace Treaty has
left Berlin and indeed the whole OF
Germany with a feeling of resent
ment, and in the words of the Ber-
lin correspondent of the Berlingske
Tidende there yawns between Ber-
lin and Paris a gulf wider than that
which yawned in 1871"
Germany has accepted peace
which she was not able to reject
but is it well to recognize the spirit
in which she accepts it. Perhaps the
best expression of this spirit is
found in Vorwarts, which says:
"This peace, being the product o1
force, is worthless as a real peace
because the German people will never
believe in it. 1t is peace which
will last only SO long as the balance
of power remains the same as that
which dictated it."
Great bitterness is felt towarC

INDEMNITY ASKED
FROM GERMANS FOR
SCUTTLINC FLEET
Allies Give Notice That She
Must Pay for War
Ships Sunk
VIOLATES ARMISTICE
Germany Will Be Held Accountable
for Burning French Battle Flags
and Sinking Ships
VIOLATES ARMISTICE

PARIS, June 28-Supreme Coun-
Gil Of the peace conference notified
Germany that she would be held tC
strict accountability for the sinking
of the German war ships interned al
Scapa Flow and for the burning of
French battle flags captured in the
Franco-P Prussian war. This account
ability will be in the nature of indem-
nifty that Germany will have to pay
The amount of the indemnity will be
decided later.
At the same time the Germans
were warned that any further sink
ings of vessels by them will serve
only to prolong allied occupation OF
German territory and to increase the
indemnity Germany must pay.
The allied note has been made pub
lie. 1t says the scuttling of the Ger
man war ships at Scapa Flow and the
burning of French battle flags in Ber-
lin constituted a breach of the armis-
tice terms and the peace conditions
already communicated to Germany
The note contains more than six
hundred words.
BY some persons here the allied
note was considered disappointing
and weak. The Germans know that
neither the United States nor Great
Britain want even a Is year occupa-
tion of German territory, and, there
fore, it is said, threat by the Allies
to prolong this occupation period
would not be calculated to stop furth-
er sinkings of ships by the Germans,
if they had the ships to sink.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment of this note was made public an
other communication to Germany
warning her that she must not permit
troops crossing her frontiers to aid
