Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), Is much better than the most
expensive soap or anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wat
er and rub it In. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive OIL The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves it hne and

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

.DISTluERS LOSE
HOPE 0F SELLING
WHlSkEY SUPPLY
(By Associated Press)

4 LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 1S.-Ken-
tucky distillers apparently began to-
day to lose hope of ridding themselves
of approximately 33,oO0.oOo gallons of
liquor before national prohibition
comes into force January 16. At that
time all whiskey intended for export
must be out of this country or be
confiscated, according to federal au-
thorities.
AS far as could be learned today no
workable plan for disposing of the
liquor stocks in Kentucky bonded
warehouses, said to be worth at
wholesale more than $350,0OO,OOO had
been advanced, and whiskey interests
were said to look with alarm upon the
narrowing time limit.
Meanwhile federal officers in the
last two days have arrested IA alleged
violators of tho war time prohibition
law and it Is understood have war.
rants for the arrest Of others on sim.
liar charges. Among those arrested is
Peter Bitter, termed the most arrest
ed man in Louisville, and who has
been before the local courts many
times in the last few months on
charges Of violating the prohibition
law. Bitter and others were held to
the March federal grand jury.
No Plan Accepted.
Owsley Brown, spokesman for the
Independent distillers, declared that
no plan for disposing of whiskey
stocks has been accepted. He said
their chief obstacle resulted from in
ability to find country to which the
liquor might be shipped and even II
country was located, inadequate
railroad service, lack of ocean bot
toms, and a shortage of storage ia
cilities abroad probably would pre-
vent any great movement Of liquor
from this state.
