Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaH. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp ana
makes-the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
cheap, and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.

Merriam Points Out Results of
Chamber of Commerce.
1t Is of Real Value to Every
Person in Topeka.
200 new MEMBERS SOUGHT
Ten Teams Are Making Cam
paign Over the City.
VIII Not Quit Until the Goal Is
Reached.

With the whirlwind membership
campaign of the Chamber of Com
merce in full sail today. President Car
roll B. Merriam has deemed the time
fitting to call the attention of the
prospective new members to the bene-
fits which may accrue them thru the
activities of the Chamber.
Merriam made no definite quotable
statement in this connection but he did
give voice to a few. of the important
things which the Chamber of Com
merce has done and is doing which
promise definite financial returns to
the membership.
For instance he pointed to the re-
cent establishment of a fully organized
convention bureau as one of the ad-
juncts of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time the convention bureau is
functioning properly and already
two weeks after its formation-the bu-
reau is showing definite results. Sew
eraI statewide conventions have al
ready signified their intention of ac-
cepting the invitations extended by the
Topeka Chamber of Commerce and
will hold their next convention in this
city.
Every Convention Treated Alike.
The plan of operation of the con-
vention bureau is simple, but it is
quite effective. Also it gives the con-
ventions something definite TO look
forward to on their arrival in Topeka,
and 1t does away with~the practice of
giving banquets to some conventions
and refusing banquets TO others. Ev-
cry convention is treated alike under
the new system.
This is only one of the branches of
Chamber of Commerce. work from
which the merchants and professional
men of Topeka who are members OF
the Chamber of Commerce will get
definite results in a financial way
Merriam pointed out in this con-
nection that the merchants who are
not members of the Chamber and the
professional men of the same class
will reap a share of these benefits
| just the same as the ones who are
members.
seek 200 New Members.
1--WE realize this" Merriam de-
| clared "but in our experience we
have found that some of the mer-
chants of Topeka are of the sponge
| class. In almost every instance the
merchant and the professional man is
willing to help pay the freight when
he is shown where he, individually. is
getting his moneys worth. We offer
| him more than his moneys worth
and today we are almost certain that
he knows a Chamber of Commerce

to the individual but to the town as

/ The goal in the membership cam
paign is two hundred new members.
| Ten teams are out in the active solicit
| tation and the teams are armed with
a prospect list of 400 live merchants
who are not but should be members
| Of the Chamber of Commerce for the
reason that they reap the benefits OF
| Chamber of Commerce work. The
campaign is to continue until the zoe

Entering the doorway is another
doughboy with a cigarette and an
armful of books to add to the collec-
ton already in evidence. The scene is
the porch of an Army hospital, and
nothing could more accurately depict
the enthusiasm with which wounded
men welcome the supply of good read
ing matter provided by the library
war service of the American Library
Association. So clearly and fully has
the artist caught the spirit of the hos
pital book service that almost every
critic who has seen the picture thinks
that the painter must have made
sketches from life at an Army hos
Dital. On the contrary. Mr.. Fink de-
veloped his theme entirely without
personal hospital contacts.
Mr.. Fink is better known as an il
illustrator in black and white than as
a painter in color. In addition to his
illustrations. which have become IA
miliar through their appearance in
various magazines. he was represent
ed at the Panama Pacific exposition
and has contributed to exhibitions at

fdent. points ont that the Organization
viii be kept as elastic as possible in
, order that independent branches may
easily be formed.
The purpose of the American wom-
ems Legion, Mrs. Eustis stated, lis
to enable the women who shared to-
gether the anxiety and sorrows of the
war to maintain their bonds of
friendship and mutual help, and to
continue ready in times of peace to
serve the nation they sought to serve
in war.
The responses which we already
have received convince us that the
war women OF this country desire to
unto in q permanent Organization.
Those who endured the tragic losses
Of war may find in it the consolation
Of renewed service, and those who
escaped the supreme sacrifice will find
an opportunity to aid he less fortu-
nate
We are encouraged by the histories
OF similar organizations formed after
other wars to believe that the legion
may md lasting place and valuable
work in the life Of the nation"

teaching of these things to the chill
dren of the country, for the friendly

served in the great war. for the ever
present remembrance of the crippled
soldier, for the banding together Of
the women whose men have served

COLCONDA TRANSFER
 MEANS GREAT DEAL TO N0HAvE COUNTY

One of the largest deals effecting mining property in this county in re- cent years was completed in Kingmah this week when c. B. Bell, acting for the Middle Golconda Mines company turned that property over to L. R. Myers and associates, of Minneapolis. These people had already acquired the O'Dea interests, sidelining the Middle Golcopda, and also taken over the Golconda, which was for years one of the largest producers of zinc ore in the state. ~ .,y
 The new company, which is now be- ing formed, is to put up an ample treasury for the development of the properties. A tunnel that will pene- trate the Middle Golconda veins at great depth, is to be driven from be- low the Layne Springs, in Todd Basin. This tunnel will reach deep under the Golconda and the other veins of the Golconda group. c. B. Bell is to be manager of the properties and expects to begin work on the tunnel as soon as compressor and other machinery can be gotten onto the ground. The tunnel will drain wide area of coun-; try, making it possible to develop ev- cry one of the big veins of the group and minimize the timbering costs in the mine, as the openings can be maintained at low costs when the ground is thoroughly dried out.
 The deal is one of the most impor- tant the Wallapai district has ever known, as the potentialities of the properties are greater. than any other of the great groups that have been dealt in for many years. The tunnel if driven into the upper veins of the group, twill undoubtedly open wonder ful ore bodies. Owing to the volume
