ARGUE DEMURRER IN
SUIT ON MOORE ESTATE

Argument on the demurrer OF Mrs.

Charlotte Blood More, was heard be
fore Chancellor IIeiskell Friday In the
case Of the william Il. Moore School
Of Technology against the above de
PENDANTS. Chancellor Heiskcll took the
matter under a~dvisement.
The bill filed by the school sought
to prove that Mrs. Moore, widow Of
the late William X. Moore, prominent
Memphis dry goods merchant, really left
a Will, which was either lost or sup
pressed and that the will would have
left the major portion of the estate
valued at more than S300, 600 to the
school of technology, and that the sis
tiers would have been given only a
small sum each. Under the adminiR-
~tration Of the estate, 1t is alleged the
sisters get the big portion of the estate
while the school gets much less,
The case was first handled by Chan
cellor Peres, who granted an lnjunc-
ton removing w. II. Miller as admin
istrator of the estate and making the
Bank OF Commerce and Trust company
receiver and administrator pendente
lite" pending the final decision in the
case.
Thomas M. Scruggs, Of counsel for
demurrants, declared that the court
was without jurisdiction to remove Mr..
Miller as administrator, and that the
bin did not aver that MIR. Miller was
dishonest or had dissipated the assets
OF the estate or made away with any
part OF it.
j, w. Canada is attorney for the
William II. Moore School Of Technology.
It was agreed that the bill might be
amended to make add deVisees and

Don't Spoil Your Hair
by Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali. which is very injurious. as IT dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Nulsified CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces,
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole fam.
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an alum
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is
soft. fresh looking. bright. fluffy, wavy
and easy TO handle. Besides, 1t loosens
and takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt ana dandruff. adv.
