Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few oun ,es will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly ana evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy.
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and tak-s out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

Why, it costs me wenty thousand dol

out on Meridian street going every

I say the government ought to exempt
a man what it costs him to keep his
house up"
He paused for a moment to glance
hastily into the faces of his audience
and then looked in an unconcerned
way out of the window. The train
was speeding through the farm Sec
tion of Illinois. Here and there cattle
and sheep were seen grazing.
Now, you might as we'll feed good
stock as to feed riffraff like that out
there. A good COW don't eat any more
than scrub, but she brings in about
ten times the money"
Crammed into the corner farthest
from the window sat the white-haired
traveller. who had been so occupied
reading the morning newspaper that
much OF the conversation had escaped
him, but as he finished the article he
was reading he looked at the others
with a serious, fatherly expression on
his face, and remarked:
This is serious thing, gentlemen.
We've got to do something with these
people who are trying to assassinate
ofi1cials. It's time for the government
to act or these fellows will be putting
bombs around all of US some day."
The big news" of the day was the
accounts of the bombs which anar-
chists had exploded in eight or nine
different cities, and although most of
us had read the news, we were, like
many Americans, somewhat immune
to sensations after four years Of daily
war reports.
Seated next to the speaker was the
.ntleman who told the conductor
"one of the departments at Washing
ton had ordered him back for re-
port"
You are absolutely right, sir" he
replied. There are bolshevists in this
country agitating for a revolution,
working day and night. while nine
tenths of our people are not aware of
what Is happening behind the masks"
The conversation between these
two men was listened to by every one
In the smoker The man with the
white hair explained in the course of
his remarks that he was banker
and business man Of Wichita, and
that while Kansas, having a small
percentage OF foreign born citizens,
