Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which,
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls viii cleanse
the. hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub Il
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

DOG GESTURES
POLICEMAN
The Court Record Reads Emphatic
In Its Description Of the
Noise the Canine
Makes.

Policeman Griffey works nights
and tries to sleep days in the neigh
born God Of Fourth and Exchange
streets.
Art Leming lives there and has a
fine collie dog which barks at things
that interest it.
The sleep of policeman and the
conversation of dog do not function.
ate well together.
Hence, there was fled an informa-
ton in the superior court against
Leming charging him with the mis-
demeanor that he did "harbor and
keep certain dog which by loud
and frequent and habitual barking
and yelling and bowling disturbs
neighborhood of Fourth and Elk
change streets"
Leming admitted that it might be
SO. in court this morning, and paid
$2.85 for all that noise on the part
of his dog, and also So dog tax which
he had forgotten to pay before.

BOYS AND GIRLS
PLEDGES PAID
Southern Lee County Young Folks
Did Their Full Share Toward
Helping the United
War Work.

Are the girls Of southern Lee
county thriftier than the boys, or
have they more available cash?
They have paid nearly twice as
much as the boys on their pledges to
the United War Work in the last
campaign made here.
The boys have paid twenty-five per-
cent Of their pledges. and the girls
forty-eight percent Of their pledges.
it is announced by Charles Darling
ton, publicity director OF the state
campaign, in giving the figures for
the southern half OF Lee county. 1t
may be that these figures are far
from correct, as the official figures
for the grown folks payments sent
out from Des Moines were entirely
inaccurate.
The total subscription Of the vic
tory boys IN Iowa was 88,493, and
fifty-five percent of this has been
paid. The girls subscribed $4,000,
and they have paid ffty-four percent
OF that. In southern Lee county, the
boys pledged s842 and the girls $571.
by the official figures sent out from
Des Moines.
Bruce w. Tallman, state director
of collections, says both the boys and
the girls are in many cases making
actual sacrifices to raise their pledges
for the soldiers aid funds, and he is
sure they will go over the top in
the next few weeks.

In RAND PARK IN THE WINTER
II is Even More
fs Nobody Goes to Seci Its Winters

! in perfect balance of values of color
; and chiari-oscura.
[ Here and there are splotohes of
black, where puddles of melted snow
1 glisten as ice. or as mirrors of water
in especially warm places. The drive
! ways curve in broad ribbons of NOR
tar gray, as clean as they are soft
after their long winter bath.
The general color tone Is a cold
smoky gray that is carried even into
the light, but transparent, foggy mist
over Lake Keokuk and the distant
Illinois bluffs. A part of the winter
symphony OF tints is the flower gar
den around the Greek fountain, with
its stems and stalks sticking up in
lunches broken down at the top and
causing one involuntarily to look
around for the stable and wagon
shed. it looks so much like the lot
beside the barn on an Iowa farm.
Neither cold nor snow, nor storm
sweeping from the lake, disturbs the
calm dignity of old Chief Keokuk
there on his pedestal, immobile and
wearing the trappings of the head
Of his tribe. He Is the one change
less thing in that picture at Rand
park which is ever changing, never
alike two days in succession, and
very different now from what it was

GRANDMA KNEW

Breaking up colds was one of the
easiest things that grandma did.
With only goose grease and turpen-
tine she got some wonderful results.
And you can't beat that remedy now.
But you can make 1t work more
quickly. MEN-THO-EZE is made of
goose grease and turpentine with
menthol, the great Chinese remedy,
together with peppermint, winter
green and other healing oils added.
Rubbed on the chest, the goose
grease and turpentine work from the
outside as surely as they ever did.
But the fumes from the other oils,
inhaled to the Innings of the throat
and lungs, soothe the raw surfaces
and draw out the soreness, giving re-
lief in minutes. Colds caught at
the start can nearly always be
broken up with MEN-THO- Keep

Elyaston, "a: Mt. Sterling. 43.
In the last four minutes of bit
terly fought battle at Mt Sterling
last Thursday, Elvaston lost by a
margin of nine points. During the
entire first half the visitors took the
offensive and the count at the end
of the half was 1920. The Elvaston
quintet also led the scoring in the
second half, but in the last few min
utes of play two lucky shots turned
the tide for the home team and the
final score stood 34-43. This was the
fourth defeat suffered by Elvaston in
five years. Although the visitors re-
GREETED to lose the game, they are
somewhat reconciled by the fact that
they beat Mt. Sterling worse on the
Elvaston floor than they were de-
feated on the Mt. Sterling floor, the
score at home being S0-16. Moreover,
the Elvaston boys were greatly han
dicapped by much over-heated room
and poor lights, and in defense OF
the home floor let it be understood
that we have q higher ceiling than
that of the opera house at Mt. Ster-
ling. the Mt. Sterling boys attribut.

Features of the game at Mt. Sterling
were passing and shooting of both
squads, Duncan of Elvaston being
highest scorer for the visitors.
