Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
II you want to keep your hair look
ing its best Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Muisified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and greaseless), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
noisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance OF rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out cas-
lily, removing every particle OF Gust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. the
hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves the scalp, soft and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces viii supply
every member Of the family for
months

GRANDMA NEVERLET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy With Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no enc can
tell because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is muSsy ami
troublesome. At little cost you can
buy at any drug store the ready-to-
use preparation, improved by the
addition Of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a spong :
or soft brush with il and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luXUriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign Of old age. and az
we all desire a youthful and attrac-
I'VE appearance, get busy st once
with Wyeth's sage and Sulphur Com
pound and look years younger.

FOUNDER OF HEINZ
PRODUCTS Co. DIES

| PITTSBURGH, May 15.-H. J. Heinz
proprietor of the Heinz Food Products
and a prominent Sunday school
worker. died in his home here yester-
day of pneumonia.
| Mr.. Heinz was a native OF Pitts
burgh. He was seventy-five years old.
After receiving his education in the
public schools and at business college
he turned to commercial pursuits, and
from a small beginning brought his
business to vast proportions. His
parents had intended to fit him for
the ministry, but with the exception
Of few years in his young manhood
his career has been concerned with
the business side of the manufacture
of pure food products.
Interested In Gardening.
When his parents moved TO Sharps-
burg, then a small village, where a
garden of about three acres surround
ed the home, Mr.. Heinz became inter
ested in gardening. AS the garden
yielded more than the family required
the surplus was disposed of amons
the villagers.
The success which he met in han
ding garden products suggested to
him the idea of engaging in the busl-
ness of packing pure food products.
He started in a modest way in 1869.
The first factory consisted of the
basement and one room of a dwelling.
The first product was horseradish,
packed in bottles. Soon the packing
of pickles and sauces and other foods
was added.
In 1872 greater facilities were need
ed and the business was moved to
this city. 1t grew steadily, until now
the main establishment occupies
floor space of thirty acres.
Mr.: Heinz's interest in higher edu-
cation is indicated by the fact that
he was instrumental in founding and
was chief supporter of the Kansas
City University.
Sunday School Worker.
In Sunday school work Mr.. Heinz
was an international figure. He was
chairman of the executive committee /
Of the Worlds Sunday School Associa-
ton, for many years president of the
Sabbath school and vice
president of the Sunday School Asso-
citation of London. i
During all his career Mr.. Heinz took
an advanced position on the social
problem of the proper relations be-
tween employer and employe. He al
ways took a great interest in civic
affairs, and was a director Of many

Africa He says little OF Okwawa
except to speak of the trouble the ma
tive ruler gave the German troops.
The dynasty to which Okwawa be-
longed was founded in 100 by NIu-
jumba, whose grave also was opened
by the party under Won Prince. There
were several sultans before the time
OF Okwawa, but he was the first to
have dealings with the white man.
Several expeditions started out by
the Germans to exterminate this old
sultan ended with the entire attack
ing party being killed. Never once
was Okwawa beaten. In the end.
however. he is said to have commit
ted suicide.

FIND Who STOLE
OKWAWA SKULL

NEW YORK, May 15.-Those re-
sponsible for the dissertation of the
grave of Sultan Oxwawa, whose skull
is demanded from Germany by the
peace treaty, have been found, 1t is
believed, by the Oriental department
of the Public Library, through whose
courtesy an authentic history has
been given of this leader of the Wa
hehe tribes in East Africa, which for
more than twenty years fought Ger
man kultur.
sultan Okwawa for years opposed
the inroads of Germanism while he
reigned over his tribe. The section he
ruled lies north of Portuguese East
Africa and cast of Rhodesia, in the
high mountain country.
In German history OF their domain
Herr Won Oberarzi Dr. STERLING. chic.
surgeon of the German forces in East
Africa for some years. tells of the
trip to RUngemba. the largest settle
ment in the region over which Ok
wawa ruled, which was led by Capt
Tom Won Prince, who had fought the
sultan for years. This expedition
was made after Okwawa had commit
ted suicide.
Hanged SuItan's Relatives.
The party reached Rungemba, Dr.
STERLING relates. and there found Ok
wawa's son and also the head SULTAN
brother and four half-brothers. True
to German custom, believing extinc-
ton of a race essential toward the
introduction of "kultur," they hanged
kawawinjiki, the sultan's brother,
and the four half-brothers, and ar
rested the son and other members of
the family.
The party then proceeded to the
spot where Okwawa was buried. There
his skull was unearthed by the party
and picture taken of the spot by
them.
1t is in this same spot that Mujiinga,
founder of the Okwawa dynasty, was
buried, and it is believed that his |
bones. too, were taken from their
resting place by Capt. Won Prince.
The reason for the taking of Ok |
wawa's skull to Germany is given by /
DR.. STERLING as purely scientific, and |
to allow "the famous professor, DR..
Luschan, to measure it,"
After Capt. Won Prince and his
party had concluded their hanging [
party in Rungemba they started for
the coast, taking with them Okwawa's i
son and the rest of the royal family
as prisoners.
Capt. Won Prince. who was in charge
Of the party, has also written a his

Davenport Pleads for
Personal Income Levy
Tells Realty Men Proposed
State Law Is Only Feasible
Tax Plan

SYRACUSE, March Ex-senator Dav-
export, chairman of the joint legisla-
tive committee on taxation, which has
recommended a personal income tax
bill, to-day addressed the Real Estate
Association of New York State He
said the committee realized the neces-
slty of securing some check on steadily
increasing expenditures of the city and
state governments; that although i'm
portant improvements are demanded,
there must be an economic limit to
city and state budgets.
He said the conditions now to be
met are probable municipal deficit of
about $33,000,000 and probable state
deficit of S20,000,00O; that provision
could not be made alone for the state
without regard to municipalities; that
in looking about for new sources of
revenue it was apparent that the pres
emit personal tax could not be admins
tered successfully; that such increased
revenue as might be secured by a
property tax, vehicular tax and other
indirect taxes proposed, was so incon-
siderable as not to be counted on.
The Senator concluded that the onlv
feasible tax was the personal income
tax, that it was generally looked upon
as equitable. that the rate had been
made as low as possible in order to
reach large proportion of taxpayers.

Smaller Easter Stocks
Of Women's Garments
Manufacturers Swamped With
Orders Expected to Cut
Down Deliveries

Comparatively small stocks of
women's spring coats and suits on the
racks of retailers will be feature Of
the pre-Easter business this year, say
manufacturers of these garments.
Early spring sales have been large, it
is said and the retailers stocks are
now depleted Owing to the policy of
buying only for immediate needs, en-
tered upon Immediately after the ces-
sation of hostilities, the retailers have
no reserve stocks, and manufacturers
are now swamped with orders. It is
believed that it will be impossible for
the coat and suit makers to deliver
more than 80 per cent of the orders
for spring merchandise now on their
books in time for the Easter trade.
Another factor which further COM
plicates. the situation is shortage of
high class fabrics from which womens
c:5ats and suits can be made. Few of
the mills were able to produce fabrics
for the present spring season, and
manufacturers were compelled to rely
on their own surplus stocks and those
