A report Of Stamm's disappear
ance was given police Wednesday
with the theory that a love affair
may have caused his temporary
withdrawal from the neighborhood
of the two young women that he is
said to have been honoring with his
affections lately. Stamm is said to
have bought a piano for one of his
sweethearts and aroused the other
one, causing the local climate sud
denly to become too hot for him.
Stamm disappeared from his
rooms at 49l2h South Twenty
fourth street on August 80 and has
not been heard from since. His rela-
tives know nothing of his wherea-
bouts, but do not think he has COM
mitted suicide. He left tools valued
at $500 in his rooms, but failed to
tell his employers of his departure.

ing for Mr.. Higgins,
Expresses Much Sur
prise at the Whole
Affair.

Unreasonable and insane jealousy
on the part of Mrs. Sophia Helena
McDermott, wife of DR.. Bernard A.
McDermott. is the sole cause of the
divorce action she filed Tuesday,
naming Mrs. Minnie Storz Higgins
correspondent, according to the
statement yesterday of close friends
of both DR.. McDermott and Mrs.
Higgins.
While efforts to locate E. A. Hig-
gins, husband of the woman alleged
to be responsible for the trouble be-
tween DR.. McDermott and his wife,
were without avail, business asso-
ciate, speaking for Mr.. Higgins, de-
clared he was very much surprised
at the whole affair. but that the di-
vorce charges had not in the least
shaken his confidence in his wife.
Mrs. Higgins cannot be guilty
of any wrong" he is quoted as say
ing. There must be a mistake
somewhere"
Suppressed the News.
Surprise of the friends of the Nc
Dermotts at the divorce proceed
ings was the greater because they
are devout members of the Catholic
church.
Desperate efforts were made by
friends of all the principals to keep
the news out of the papers yester-
day. These efforts succeeding only

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.-Adv.

Cause OF Headache

By knowing the cause, a disease
may often be avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The
most common cause of headache is
disordered stomach or constipa-

taking a few doses Of Chamber

others have obtained permanent re-

are easy to take and mild and gen
