Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be- careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aHzali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.

BERLIN, April 1S.-(By maiD.-
Americans who have been sent on
missions into Germany to deal with
prisoners or handle food delivery
have had their troubles with the boil
sheviks, and are becoming expert
enced bolshevik tanners.
Probably the most ticklish situa-
ton, or series OF situations, for there
are new difficulties every hour, is at
the port of Dantzig, where the Amer
leans are unloading foodships and
sending supplies into Poland. Dant-
zig is about seventy per cent Ger
man and thirty per cent Poland. 1t
has been center Of trouble until
everyone is ready to bolsheviR on
the slightest pretext.
Threatening movements led the
Americans to distribute food among
the people of Dantzig to keep them
quiet The food did quiet unrest and
destroyed the desperate note in the
peoples demands
To unload the ships, the Americans
hired Germans, and after the distri-
button of food it was thought the
honor system might be used. 1t

/ Finally American sailor guards, with
arms, were placed as overseers along
! the docks and the Germans were
/ examined as they left the gates after
the days work.
| Labor leaders soon began to pro-
woke strikes and troubles. Daily
there are new demands on the part
| of the workmen.
Equally trying has been the work
at the Russian prison camps scat
tered over Germany. In all Of them
/ are American officers and soldiers
and Red Cross workers getting the
Russians in shape to go back home
as clean and healthy in body and
mind as possible. There has been
hardly camp that has not had up
risings and bolsheviking, and It has
required more than ordinary tact to
win the Russians to respect authority
and keep orders.
In only one instance so far have
the Americans had to allow the Ger
man guards to use weapons to quell
a revolt That happened at camp
where several thousand Russians
under the influence of bolshevik agi-
tators decided to start across coun-

PRESENCE WITH REVOLVER

His brother, Edward Lynch. OF Pe-

marked the great change IN William
saving his mind seemed to be al
fected.
There is nothing in his canton,
ment life to account for the fixed
del,,sion which obscessed him after
his return. and 1t is probably only
coincidence that his insanity was
noticed first after his discharge from
the army, although his w11e al
tributes it to his service in camp.
Letter Shows Insanity.
The letters found in the room were
taken by Chief Hennemann, the 1lrst
man on the scene after the tragedy
and were turned over to Acihs
Coroner James S. Burrows.
The latter directed that the two

The latter is incoherent, parts or

but one sentence is: am going

That he did not take the two little
children with him into eternity IS
the one fortunate part OF the AFFAIR.
Quickly and Surely.
Mrs. Lynch went home when she
was relieved on the street car ana
went at once to- the room OF the
couple in the second story OF the
Gates home.
Instantly upon her entrance, Lynch
shot himself. 1t was 38-caliber re-
volyer and the bullet entered little
above and behind the center of the
right temple. 1t all occurred in less
than a minute.
The wife, courageous and trying 10

dren and her sad marital history,
was nearly Frustrated last night.
The body was taken to the parlors
of Pearson, Vaughan & Holbrook.
The acting coroner decided that an
inquest is unnecessary.
The Life He Ended.
Lynch was born at Youn gstown,
Ohio, and was thirty-seven years old
last February. The family home is
at Ashtabula, and he is said to have
been a good railroad trainman in the
east, until ne began to drink.
He came here to work on the
water power construction. and here
met. wooed and. married Miss Gates.
The wedding was May IL, 1913.
During the last year or two, he
was in other cities, working more or
less, and lately insisted that his
whole family go to Chicago. to which
his wife objected. as she did not
wish to relinquish her good job here
in the light of his failure to retain
a lob of his own Recently he worked
at several places here, for a short
time in each.
He leaves his wife, son and
daughter, two and four years old,
his mother in Ohio, and his brother
in Peoria.

It also indicates that his intention
