Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

l you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful: Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), IS much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for. shampooing, as this can't pos sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf 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 mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at most any drug store It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

THE SUFFRAGE SITUATION

With the suffrage amendment to
the constitution adopted by both the
house and senate, there remains to be
accomplished its ratification by the
legislatures of thirty.six states.
The prospects for speedy ratiilca.
tion are very good. Twenty-nine of
the requisite states already grant
some degree Of suffrage to women. In
fifteen of these there is equal suf.
frage. These twenty-nine would hard.
ly refuse to ratify, when refusal would
be backward step. And in more
than seven additional states the opin.
ions OF the voters have been found
to be rather closely divided on the
subject. In such states as have been
marginal in their attitude, the know
ledge that senate and house have
voted SO decidedly will doubtless
sweep. away all barriers.
From the very beginning there has
been no doubt of the final victory of
the principle OF equal suffrage, 1t has
been merely u matter of slow oduca-
tion of the public to new idea. The
public is notably sluggish, but it
learns. II has learned, in many places,
that women are the interiors of mon
intellectually, socially and politically
only when the women OF that com.
munity are kept down and not allow.
ed the same privileges of education
and training as men.
Given equal opportunity. women al.
ways prove Themselves of equal pow.

LET THE PROBE START

The Republican probe OF war ex.
penditures is to be made for the pur-
pose of digging up material for the
1920 campaign. To make sure this
purpose will be carried out, the house
of representatives has decided that
the probe committee shall consist of
Is members, 10 Republicans and 5
Democrats. This is the first time in
the history of congress when the ma.
jority party has demanded and taken
such throttle on a probe committee.
The Democrats welcome the probe,
but will insist that it be honestly
done. If there was wrongdoing, it
should be punished, but the whole
story must be told and not q half way
story that hints at huge wastage and
corruption but proves nothing. The
probe committee should be non.parti-
san Il it is the honest desire to have
an honest investigation. During the
war the Democrats, while in full con-
troll, named non-partisan committees
or committees where the representa-
tion was five to four or four to three.
But two to one, never.
Representative Cantrell of Ken
lucky hit the right note when he
charged on the floor of the house that
"the Republican purpose is to dig up
campaign material for 1920 presiden.
tial election"
The Kentuckian asked the Republi.
cans a question that will echo and re.
echo over the nation: "Why don't you
bring in legislation to solve the prob.
lens of the day."
The start made by the Republican
congress forecasts the course to be
followed. viii Hays, Lodge, Penrose,
Mann, Mondell, ct al, are not going
to try to win in 1920 by means of leg
islation that will draw the people of
the nation to them and their party.
They prefer to continue their policy
of fault.finding and attempting to
magnify the minor mistakes of a
great war. They expect to win on a
platform Of criticism and not of ac.
'complishment. ~>

ing the past eight years of congress.
slonal control and the six years of
presidential control, has been so mag.
nificent that Republican fault-hnding
will not make any more impression
than the throwing of handful of
pebbles into the sea.
