why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is, never wise to
use . makeshift, but is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple made canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a cost
Of about 8 cents a shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving teaspoonful in
4 cup Of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead Of just the top
Of the head, as with most prepare
lions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair
will be 80 fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. It's luster
and softness will also delight you.

ST. Louis, Mo, April 21.-Declara

True bolshevism is unrestrained;

constructive action has been OBJ
served. ...
"The new Russian provisional

The retreating bolsheviki have
pillaged hospitals, killing and de-
porting doctors and nurses. The
Russian army is destitute of drugs,
instruments or dressings, except
what the Red Cross has been able
to provide. The American Red
Cross has obtained magnificent re-
suits and merits sympathetic sup
port on an enlarged scale.

must be destroyed here to save
civilization. Unless the allies sup
port Russia, the world will lose the

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if 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
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless) +,
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff 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 mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months.

fore the peace treaty is handed to
the German delegates will take up
the question OF making the docu-
ment public. Ray Stannard Baker,
representing the American delega-
ton, in agreement with the press
advisers to the delegations of other
countries, has recommended to the
council the publication of the treaty
/, Immediately after its delivery to the
Germans. Otherwise, it is pointed
out, the first version of the impor-
tant provisions Of the treaty would
be issued by the Germans and might
be loaded up with German propa-
ganda.
The plan proposed on behalf of
the United States is for the Anieri-
can delegates to cable for stimuli
taneous distribution on the Ameri-
Ican continent first 250-word Off
cial summary of the treaty, second,
q 5,000-word official summary, and
third. the text Of the treaty. The
two summaries would be given to
the American press at about the
same time and the treaty day or
two later, the text possibly to be
distributed by instruments as it was
received.
Enormous Task.
The text of the covenant Of the
league of nations has already been
telegraphed to the state superinten-
dent at Washington for release when
authorized by President Wilson.
Other parts of the treaty are likely
to be cabled during the present
week. The final dispatch. which may
count up to nearly 100000 words,
can be cabled in four or FIVE hours
if all the, cable lines are cleared for
the purpose. The capacity of the
cables is 100000 words a day, and
the associated governments could
order the text of the peace treaty
given first official priority, so that
the enormous task of transmission
could be accomplished with less de-
lay than press message ordinarily
sustains.
On the day the peace treaty is
signed the American correspondent
will have their telephones in the
Louis XIV bath room in the Yer
sailles palace. The entrance will be
by secret door not 20 yards from
the peace table, into little corridor,
and thence down a few steps into
the marble bath room, which is suf-
ficiently large for the installation of
FIVE or six telephones and one tele-
graph instrument.
