Don't Spoil Your Hair
BY Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much allzah, which
is very injurious, as it d1es the scalp
and makes the halr brittle.
The best thing 70 use IS Mulsihed CO
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseiess. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all 70 pieces. You
can get Mulsifed 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 q teaspoonful IS all
that is required. Il makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cieanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and IS soft,
fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle Besides, It loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.

COOLIDGE SAYS 6, D. P.
IS FOR LEAGUE IDEA
Declares Republicans Do Not Fa-
vor a Policy of
Isolation.

Portland, Me. Sept 9-AsSertion
that Me Republican Party stood for a
foreign policy based on recognition of
the fact that the United States was not
isolated was made here last night in an
address by Governor Coolidge of Massa-
chusetts in connection with the State
campaign.
Ever since this nation was established
Governor Coolidge said, ''it has never
been isolated. All the earth has turned
to that vision of hope. Not isolated,
but independent, free, rendering service
to all mankind not on compulsion but in
response to the national conscience. The
Republican Party resents the imputation
that Il seeks TO do any less than render
that service now.
II believe humanity would welcome
the creation of an international asso-
citation for conference and world court
whose verdicts upon iusticiable ques-
tions this country in common with all
nations would be willing and able to up
hold The decision of this court or the
recommendations of such a conference
could be accepted without sacrificing on
our part or asking any other power to
sacrifice one iota of its nationality.
Discussing the refusal of the Senate
to ratify the Peace Treaty with the
Covenant of the League of Nations as
submitted by the President, Governor
Coolidge said:
''In general the objection was the re-
luctance to incur either legal or moral
obligations binding our Government to
act in accordance with decisions not
made sby itself II was the desire TO
retain unimpaired the traditional poll
cies like the Monroe Doctrine and the
independence of action of America.

that he indorsed Senator Harding's po-
sition MS stated To him in conferences.
"All of this would be laughable if it
were not so tragic.
1T is important that definite de-
cision come out of Marion. In this con-
nection | have n suggestion, which is
that Senator johnson, who is against
any kind of league, and ex-Prcsident
Taft, who has indorscd the present league,
conduct Joint debate on the front porch
ut Marion, and Senator Harding render
a decision which will be not only his de-
cision, but his final decision"
At the conclusion Of his first day of
campaigning in Montana Governor Cox
received the assurance of Governor 5. v.
Stewart and Democratic leaders here
that he surely would carry the State.
At Wolf Point, Mon, a crowd of cow
boys and Indians had collected at the
station when the train pulled in. They
demanded that the governor show him
self.
1--WE want to see this guy" one of
them shouted. We've come long ways.
him, Wen not vote for him, damned if
we do"
The governor was in bed, but when
he received this message he laughed
heartily, threw bathrobe over his pa
iamas and appeared on the back plat
form He talked with the cowboys about
their life on the ranges, and asked about
the prairie dog shooting, adding that
he hoped to arrange for shooting party
on the prairies before he returned East.
A little further along the line Long
George Francis, who has the reputation
of being the champion steer roper Of
this part of the country. got aboard the
train.
Governor Cox invited him aboard the
train and Long George rode as far as
Havre, chatting with the Governor
about kfe in the Western country, He
said that he had come in behalf of the
Democratic cowboys of Montana" and

he added-to present the Governor with
a lasso. To it was attached a pennant
with his message: I'm your roundup,

NJ 'ADOO OPPOSES ANY
CHANGE IN DRY LAW
Says Modification for Sale Of
Wine and Beer Would
Nullify 1t.

N n York. Sept. civilian @
McAdoo, ex-Secrctary of the Treasury,
who is to campaign extensively for
Governor Cox, the Democratic Presiden-
tial nominee, in n statement last night
said he strongly favored the prohibition
amendment and was AS strongly opposed
to any modification of the Nolstead act,
which will permit the sale of beer and
light wines.
Prohibition means prevention said
Mr.. McAdoo. at does not mean
license in any form. To permit the sale
of light wines and beer is to open a
crack in the door of prevention and
once the crack is open the door is wide.
IL would be impossible to administer a
beer and light wine law in such a man
ner as TO prevent the gravest abuses.
81 know from experience as Secre-
tary of the Treasury that no law which
provides for drink containing a GER
tain percentage of alcohol can be sue
cessfuhy enforced. II the law should
permit thousands Of bremeries and wine
ries to be reopened throughout the land
and to manufacture beverages with a
specified alcoholic content, it would be
impossible to prevent the manufacture
of those beverages with a larger per-
centage of alcohol than prescribed or to
prevent adulteration after manufacture
and the effect would be to nullify the
prohibition amendment.
Even if the saloon itself were not re-
opened, light wines and beer would be
sold at every soda fountain, at every
lunch counter and in every restaurant
and hotel. A large enough chemical
plant with sufficient force to analyze
the alcoholic content of these beverages
could never be provided 1t is a no.
torious fact that drunkards begin by
drinking light wines and beer when
young, and as the appetite grows the
desire for stronger drink is developed.
If we turn loose upon the country light
wine and beer to be sold at every drug
store, soda fountain, lunch counter,
hotel and restaurant, we have destroyed
the prohibition amendment and brought
back upon humanity curse greater
than war itself. The greatest victory
ever achieved for helpless women and
children would be thrown to the winds"
Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. o.-The
New Jersey Liquor Dealers Protective

JERSEY WOMEN CAN VOTE.
Attorney General Holds That No New
Legislation is Needed

Trenton, Sept. 9-New Jersey women
may vote without further legislation, in
the opinion handed down by Attorney
General McCran.
The attorney-general holds that the
adoption of the Suffrage Amendment
eliminates from the State Constitution
the application of the word 'male, and
that the ballot must be made available TO
all women possessing the qualifications
specified in the Constitution.
The attorney-general in support of this
decision says that while, in a strict legal
sense, the amendment does not affirmative
~ confer the right of suffrage, vet clearly
the intent and effect of the amendment is
to extend the elective franchise TO the
female citizenship of the United States,
insofar as that privilege is granted by the
State to the male citizenship.

LIGHTNING CHANGE
ARTIST IS HARDING
Cox Says His Somcrsaulting on
League "Laughable if Not
So Tragic"

Great Falls, Mont, Sept. 9.-~ln an
address last night at Great Falls, where
he was greeted by an enthusiastic audi
cncc. Governor Cox attacked Senator
Harding for changing his stand on the
League of Nations issue.
He charged that Senator Harding had,
up 60 this time, taken eight different
positions ON the league issue and that
men of various shades of opinion who
had called on Senator Harding at Marion
had all gone away saying that they
were perfectly satisfied with the Sena-
tors position.
As solution of the mixed-up situation
thus created Governor Cox suggested
that there be Joint debate on the front
porch at Marion between eNPresident
Taft. chief representative OF the wing oi
the Republican party which indorsed the
league and Senator Hiram w. Johnson
of California. one of the leaders of the
league irreconciables, and that Senator
Harding act as the Judge, render the de-
cision and then stick by 1T.
This ironic suggestion caused much
laughter and applause. ;,
In his attack upon Senator Harding,
Governor Cox SAID
"The campaign, even hought we are
more or less in the prellmlnarles, has
reached a stage when we should take
count of the situation. 1t would seem
fitting TO direct the nations thought to
this outstanding thing: The changing,
vacillating, Inconsistent attitude on In
ternational questions of the Senatorial
candidate for the Presidency.
Senator Hardings positions have been
as follows: =,
I'D. In the Senate voted with mild
reservationists.
",2). In the Senate advocated and
voted for Lodge reservations.
"(3). In the Senate supported the
Knox resolution for separate peace with
Germany.
"(4). Nominated on a platform which
declared the League of Nations has
signally failed
"(5). Speech Of acceptance proposed

large measure initiates the international
policies Of this Republic.
Let us not forget in this connection
that Republicans of all shades Of opin-
ION ON this subject have visited Marion,

guest favored the league or opposed the
league, he invariably reported to the press
