Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, il
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared shanl-
poos contain too much aikali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sihed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which IS
pure and grease1ess), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub il
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dit.
dandruff 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 Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for months

ZEBRAS co ON STRIKE

Little shetland pony, coy little
mare, has all but broken up the big
zebra act in AL G. Barnes circus that
arrives here for one day, August ~.
Nat is the boss zebra Of the herd.
He has five wives, Molly, Dotty,
Bertha, Lizzie and Mary.
AL G. Barnes, premier wild ANIMAL
educator, makes specially OF n.y.
birds. He figured on producing a
cross between zebra and shetland
pony. Therefore he introduced Dor
othy into the sextette.
Nat favored the alliance; the wives
didn't. The boss of the herd put
forth his best PAGES and the shetland
flattered at the striped Beau Brum-
me'ls advances, responded in kind.
Then to Barnes CONSERVATION the
zebra ladies went on strike-with
their hoofs. And Nat went to the
hospital. The shetland lady
vamoosed.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-08-15

In turn was born a hybrid, half
shetland, half zebra, which added to
the turmoil And now, Barnes claims
the zebra girls won't work with Nat
in the ring.
Said Mr. Barnes: ~ have tried
to work this act since the shetland
broke in on the scene, but to no
avail; the zebra girls are awfully
sore at Nat. The shetland lady has
absolutely jinxed the scheme of
things so far as my zebra act is con.
cerned I'll stage the zebra act in
Keokuk just the same, but poor Nat,
as recent experience will prove, will
get many swift kick.
"This proves to me that the
female of the Species even among
animal kind, is just as jealous as the
human"
The zebra.shetland pony hybrid
will be on exhibition in the animal
tent along with the nursery babies
of the show.

COFFEE A DOLLAR A
POUND Is THE PROSPECT
Dealers Look For Big Increase in
Price Because OF Exhaustion
OF Reserve Stocks.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Coffee at
81 pound is the prospect in Wash
ington and throughout the entire
country. in the opinion OF men IA
miliar with the coffee trade.
Exhaustion of reserve stocks In
Brazil and other South American
coffee producing countries, together
with unparalleled weather condi-
lions the last two years, are among
the reasons advanced for rapidly
approaching high prices, according
to these men,
Frosts. practically unheard of In
those regions, almost totally de.
stroyed the coffee crops just as the
blossoms on the trees were matured
The result was that few berries
formed and the crop was ruined.
Lack of shipping during the war;
together with exceptionally heavy
demands for coffee from European
countries, exhausted reserve stock
in Brazil. Unsatisfactory conditions
in Mexico, it is stated. have almost
entirely cut off exports OF coffee
from that country.
Brokers, jobbers, roasters and re-
tailers have so far been able to dis.
tribute price advances over wide
periods and in small amounts. AS
domestic reserve stocks approach eS-
haustion, however, these men say, 1t
will not be possible longer to pre-
vent sharp price advances.

Tobacco Habit
Dangerous

says Doctor Conner, formerly Of Johns
Hopkins hospital. Thousands Of men
suffering from fatal diseases would be
in perfect health today were it not for
the deadly drug Nicotine. Stop the
habit now before It's too late. It's
simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. Just go
to any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol tablets: take them as
directed and 10; the pernicioTs habit
quickly vanishes. Druggists refund the
money If they fail. Be sure to read
large and interesting announcement
by Doctor Conner soon to appear in
this paper. 1t tells Of the danger of
nicotine poisoning and how to avoid
1t. In the meantime try Nicotol tab
let's: you will be surprised at the re-
suits.

Mayor Asks Opinion.
The mayor addressed the following
letter to the two attorneys asking for
an opinion on the legality of women
voting:
Keokuk, Iowa, August IS, 1919.
Messrs. c, H, Dickey and Hazen
1. Sawyer, Keokuk, Iowa. Gentle
men:--Under section of chapter
ITO of the Thirty-eighth general
assembly, (subject, Liberty Memo
rial building) find that it reads
as follows: No such building shall
be erected and equipped, or pur-
chased and equipped, under the
provision Of this act, unless
majority Of the legal voters voting
thereon vote in favor of the same,
ETC. My mind Is not clear as to
who are legal voters, and whether
or not women are entitled to vote
at said special election. Will you
please give me your opinion upon
the subject, and if you SO find
women are entitled to vote should
petitions be circulated and filed?
I am very anxious there be no
mistake made that would invali-
date the election, and If women
are entitled to vote upon the
question I am sure we want them
to do SO.
Thanking you In advance for
this information, I am
Yours Sincerely,
