Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When o wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shanpoos contain too much
alkali. which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified %cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this, at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all. that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, n is soft. fresh looking.

New York, April Mrs. Mary
Casey Thorne has offered $1,000 re-
ward for the recovery of her four
year-old son or any information as to
his whereabouts. Recently Mrs.
Thorne filed Il writ-of habeas corpus
in. the supreme u requiring the
grandmother to produce the boy in
court. She stated that she saw the
boy on the balcony of the Fifth
avenue mansion where he is supposed
to be kept.
On the next morning the writ which
she obtained failed and the lad was
not produced before the judge and
so the whereabouts of the little fou''-
year-old remains as much a mystery
as ever.
Little Joel's parents separated and
he lived with his mother until Sep
tember "a. last. when his nurse tele-
phoned that she and the boy were
going for an automobile ride with his
father. The mother has not seen him
since.
