Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
By BUD FISHER

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain TOO much alkali, which is very
Injurious, as it dries the scalp ana
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t 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 oun :ss will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about teaspoonfu' is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly ana evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, 1t
loosens and tax IS out every particle or
dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

Effect Here Jan. 81.
Bell Company Announces the
Change in Topeka Today.
ZONES ARE TO Be ESTABLISHED
Distinction Drawn Between
Station and Person Calls.
Night Rates To Be Cheaper
Under the New Schedule.

A new system of telephone toll rates
is to be in. effect and in practice in
Topeka January 81, according to
bulletin being sent out today by the
Southwestern Bell company. The
pamphlet is an explanation of the new
government order establishing the
zone system of computing tariff
charges.
Six-mile zones have been established
for forty miles about each toll center,
and fixed rates have been assessed for
each zone. For the first six miles the
rate is cents: For each additional
six miles or fractional part of six
miles to a distance of twenty-four
miles, the charge is cents. From
twenty-four miles, with a basic charge
of 20 cent to any distance, the charge
is 5 cents for each additional eight
miles or part thereof.
A sha p distinction is drawn be-
tween person to person" and station
to station" calls in the new order.
The rates quoted above apply only on
station TO station calls. an extra
charge being assessed where it is de-
sired that a particular party receive
the call at the point of destination
Low Rate at Night.
Reports on long distance calls are
assessed at one-fourth the station-to-
station rate where the call is aban-
doned on the same day as placed. Fifty
per cent of the statiolI-to-Station toll
charge is added where appointment
calls are made. Calls where it is nee
essary to make use of a messenger in
locating the called party are subject
to the same charge as appointment
calls"
Collect calls or calls where the
charges are reversed are allowed only
in connection with "person-to-person"
calls.
Between $3.50 o'clock in the evening
md 4:30 o'clock in the morning the
regular station-to- station rates are
subject to sharp reduction. Between
$3.50 O'Clock to twelve o'clock mid
night the charge is about one-half
of the station-to-station day rate. Be
tween midnight and 4:30 o'clock in
the morning the rate is about one
fourth of the station-to- station day
rate. The point of origin is the sta
ton whose clock gives the time in
computing the calls. The minimum
night rate is % cents.
