Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroly 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,
dandruff and excessive oil. The ha r
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
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months-Adv.

DENIES TRENCH RENT
French People Didn't Charge Yanks
for Ground at Front.

Paris. Sept. 9.-Col. Blanton Win
| ship. judge advocate general and also
head of the acquisitions and claims de-
partment Of the American expedition
airy forces, finally disposed of the old
story that the French people claimed
rentals for the ground occupied by the
trenches at the front in his testimony
before the committee of the American
congress which is investigating war ex-
penditures. He testified that no such
claim had ever. been made against the
American expeditionary forces and
that the only claim of this nature was
for the use of ground in the training
area which was cut up and damaged
in order to familiarize the men with
conditions at the front.
His department, Colonel Winship
said, has thus far disposed of forty
thousand claims, which have been set
tied on about the same basis as claims
against the French government. These
claims include about 36,O00,000 francs
in rentals for property occupied as
hospitals and headquarters and &c.
100000 francs for the billeting of SOL
dlers and animals. Damages have
also been paid. he asserted, in about
$50 cases in which Franch people were
killed by American expeditionary
force motor cars.

The vendors of hard board softeners
were working in front of the main
entrance to the grandstand. Business

was about full and the few stragglers
hesitated about buying cushions when
they were not sure they could find a
place to Cushion"
But the cushion men did not quit
trying. Rather, they redoubled their
efforts and resorted to new tricks.
One of them, when he saw a teller

started to walk cut
Here, III get you a seat" the
cushion salesman called to them.
They turned around and he led them
to one of the best places in the grand
stand, induced the persons on the row
to move over and squeezed the young
couple into seats.
Now that got you a seat you and
your girl ought to have nice soft
cushions to, sit down on" he said, Of
fering TWO cushions to the young man.
Are they free - the young man
asked.
NO. sir. 10 cents apiece" the cush-
ion vender said.
We'll, 1 guess well just sit on the
seats as they are" the young man said
as he and his girl settled themselves.
The cushion vender was so peeved
that when he got back to his post he
told his pal
Huh, you amt got nothin" on mel"
his pal exclaimed. "A great big
double-jinted guy come in with a skirt
hangin' on his arm while you was up
there a-usherin' and look around like
he was lost and like he didn't know
what to do with the pasteboards he
held in his nit. 1 braced him and seq.
