everything seemed to agree with me
perfectly.

LABOR UNION STARTS A BANK.

A charter has been granted at
Cleveland for a million dollar ma
tional bank, to he owned and oper-
ated by the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers. While It is to be
called the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Cooperative National
bank, it is to be in fact without any
real cooperative features. That is to
say, it is to be entirely capitalistic.
The idea is looked upon with favor
by fnanciers and business men gener-
ally. They do not believe that any
marked change will be made in the
banking business by this new institu-
ton. but they are hopeful that par
ticipation in financial activity will ex-
ercise a. strong influence upon the
labor unions. They hope that the
membership will gain new knowledge
of the laws governing finance and that
a better understanding Of all of the
laws governing the banking business
will prevail. It is an interesting ex-
pertinent and one hat deserves en-
enlargement. It goes without saying
that banks Of this kind will succeed
according to the ability and integrity
of their Observation-Disclosures, Neb.,

"ThiefM THIEF! I know he is guilty

seen Mother o. Postum? Tinker Bob
wanted to be sure.
"All I know is what Old Mother

Jerry was q little excited.
Tinker Bob was very sorry to think

would have to be punished because

A1kali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
e you want to keep you hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
sl,ampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
MulEiaed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless). and is
better than anything else you can use.
One or two t~easpoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten b hair with water and rub
It In. It makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, l%ustrous. fluffy and easy
to,manage.
You a get Muldfied cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap. and a few ounces will supply
every member Of the family for
months.
