These four lines are Stetson Hats, Man

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shatnpoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsfied CO.
eoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything, else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.

that is required. 1t makes an abundance

A reduced freight rate on cotton shipped
from Jackson to all Eastern ports, Civ
ing this city equal advantage with Mem
phls. has been granted by the freight
rate adjustment committee for the
Southwestern regional division of rail-
roads at Louisville, il was announced
today by Secretary A. J. McGehee, OF

Several weeks ago the committee grant
ed Jackson an equal rate with Memphis

but comparatively little of Jackson ship
ments OF cotton are consigned to these
ports
Secretary McGehee states that the
exact extent to which the rate will be
reduced Is not as yet known, but that
a considerable reduction will be ef-
feeted This will not only result in a
great advantage to local shippers and
producers alike, but will place Jackson
on an equal basis with the larger cities
