Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared sl,ampoos
contain too mitch alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the f.air brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything else
you can use for shanIpooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
win make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The 1ather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage
You can get Mu1sifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for months.

CHINESE ETHICS AND THE WAR.

The effect Of the great upon the people
OF China has been most unfortunate. The
Chinese are serious sincere people, and do
preach the great doctrines Of Flowing one an
other" and ''forglving ones enemies and vet
carry on a horrible war which lasted more than
-four years and which caused the deaths Of mil
lions of soldiers. Confucius, who may be de-
scribed as the lnolder of the Chinese character,
anticipated the Gollen Rule when he said: "Do
nothing to another which you would not like to
have done to YOURSELF The Chinese have con-
scientiously followed the Confucan injunction.
They are mild harmless, industrious and I'M
quarrelsome race. They dislike war, and they
obey the law. But they are not uni1npression-
able, and the things which have happened in
the world since August, 1914, have made them
dstrustful as to the ethical value of christian
ity.
Rev Dr. Gilbert Reid, who has for some years
been director of the international Institute of
China, said recently in an address delivered in
this country that the effects Of the war had been
bad for the cause of christian msS onary work
and bad for the prestige of western nations in
China. When the Chinese asked the aid of
Japan and of the United States in preserving
neutrality in the far east, their request was ig-
mored as matter of no consequence. Germany
was driven out of Chinese territory but the sub
stitution of Japanese for German influence, &C.
cordlng to DR.. Reid, disturbed the equilibrium
which had previously existed and today, as he
puts It, Japan holds Picking ''as in pincers, -
