Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash j,
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
lessl, is much better than anything else
you can use for shanrpooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily 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 Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for months.

FOR KEoKUK MOTORISTS
There Is Considerable Automobile
Traffic Between the City on Lake

There is considerable automobile
traffic between Keokuk and Chicago
every summer, and keokuk motorists
will be glad to hear that the road Is
to be concerted from Monmouth to
Chicago next summer.
1t is long ways to Monmouth. it's
true. but hard road from there to
the city on lake Michigan will be a
good deal of help to motorists from
the city on Lake Keokuk.
From Monmouth comes the news
that the Cannon Ball trail from there
northeast is to be the first concrete
road built from the big bond issue
money Illinois raised, and that the
work will be done in 1920.
1t appears that Knox county sent
delegation Of good road boosters to
Springfield to see what was doing In
the way of improving the highways OF
that county, with some Of the 100000
coo voted for the construction of a
system of hard roads over the state.

The committee came home with the
report that the Cannon Ball trail, lead
ing northeast from Galesburg, would
he the first route to receive attention
and that 1t will be in line for improve
Eent early next year.
The Monmouth Review says: The
dele cation going to Springfield was
given hearing by Commissioner
Kradt who gave them all the informa-
ton he could concerning the plans for
construction in various sections and
assurance that the work everywhere
would be prosecuted as soon as the
contracts could be let. If the Cannon
Bell trail is the first route in this sec.
ton to be improved it will mean the
early completion of hard road to
Chicago as this year hard road is
being completed from the Windy City
southwest and south to Peoria and
Springfield, which would connect with

Before concluding to take power
from Keokuk what ADVICE did you
have about the advisability and feas-
Utility of getting such power for the
Union Electric. United Railways and
Laclede Gas Light company" he was
asked
1--WE had carefully prepared data
about Keokuk which had been exhaus-
lively discussed. We were without
capital to enlarge our own power

of which was then obsolete. We fin
ally had to take chance on It. 1t

he wanted contracts which would in

the bonds to be issued for the con-
struction Of the plant at Keokuk
These contracts were guaranteed by
the United Railways and other st.
Louis utilities.
Beggs explained that the margin OF
ST between the cost Of power to the
distributing company and SIS which
the United Railways contracted to pay
under the 1908 power contract was
very fair when the difficulties of trans
hitting the power was considered.
Beggs was asked why the United
Railways did not contract directly
with the Keokuk Power company in
stead Of with middle concern. He
said that Cooper, the engineer, pre-
ferred a single contract for the three
ST. Louis utilities, and that could be
accomplished only through a middle
