BY MYRA WILLIAMS FARRELL.

Mrs. A. A. GODDARD entertained the
members of Mrs. John R. Shelton's
club house team at an all day session
Wednesday at her home north OF
town. The team, which has been
making the club house dolls for the
past year, has almost raised it's quota
toward the contemplated club house.
It is the first time that they have been
ahead of their orders. but the women
of the team have decided to continue
making the dolls looking toward a
large sale for the Christmas trade.
The mem bers of the team, many of
whom are nowAout of the city, are
Porter, Mrs. S. S. Beggs. Mrs. R. F.
Thompson, Mrs. James Wise, Mrs.
Leslie Guild, Mrs. George Miller. Mrs
{. N. Williams. Mrs. F. P. MacLennan.
and Mrs. Bruce De Garmo.
The favorite diversion in Topeka at

trying at the same time to be able to
run back to base if you see that some
one else is going to beat YOU to the
coveted goal IT YOU don make the

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with
MOST soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thOroly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It is
very cheap. and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months-Ady

What to Use and Avoid
On Faces that Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. 1t
also must perspire-must expef, through
the pores, its share of the body's waste
material. Certain creams and powders
clog the pores. interfering both with
elimination and breathing. especially dur
ing the heated period II more women
understood this, there would be fewer self
ruined compilations. II they would use
ordinary mercolized wax instead of cos
metics they would have healthy COM
plexions. This remarkable substance
actually absoTbs Il bad skin, also unclog-
ging the pores. Result: The fresher.
younger under-skin is permitted TO breathe
and to show itself. The exquisite new
complexion gradually peeps out. one free
from any appearance Of artificiality. OBJ
tain an ounce of mercolized wax from
your druggist and try it Apply nightly
like cold cream for 4 week or two, washing
it off mornings.
To remove wrinkles. here's q marvellous
u effective treatment. which also acts NAT
urally and harmlessly: Dissolve an ounce
Of powdered saNolitea in a half pint witcn

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones little ones
soft ones or hard ones-on any part of the
body, go quick by a simple method that
just dissolves them. To do this get about
two ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
sponge-rpb over the blackheads briskly for
a few secondhand wash off. You'll wonder
where the blackheads have gone. The
calonite powder and the hot water have
just dissolved them. Pinching and squeez-
ing blackheads only open the pores of the
skin and leave them open and unsightly
and unless the blackheads are big and
soft they will not come out. while the
simple application of calOnite powder and
water dissoIves them right out, leaving
the skin soft and the pores in their
turaI condition. You can get ealonite pow
der at any drug store and il you are trou-
bIed with these unsightly blemishes you
should certainly try this simple method.

Chinese Grateful
 For U. s. Stand on
 Shantung Question

PEKING. Feb. 2t. Gratitude to America for the attitude of the Unit ed States Congress on the Shan tung question was expressed by Chin ese statesmen in addresses welconi- ing Admiral Albert Gleaves, Com mander of the United States Asiatic Fleet, here.
 Premier Chin Yun-feng who gave a dinner in honor of Admiral said:
 "The friendly relations which hay~> always existed between America and China. and especially the recent at titude of your nation toward the peace settlement in Europe canno, but command the gratitude and ad- miration Of our people.
 We believe that our country has in late years made some progress as Q republic; but we realize that from you, a republic of riper experience, we may learn many profitable lessons. We hope to secure from you constant advice and counsel so that We may cooperate to maintain the permanent peace of the Pacific This is the sincere wish of the Chinese people"
 Marshall Yuan Chi-jui. former pre- mier of the Chinese cabinet ana present head of the National De fense Board, said:
 "I cannot refrain from mentioning the admirable attitude of the Amer ican congress toward the Far East ern question in the matter of the Peace Treaty. It seems that public opinion in America is being guided much more by ideals than by inter, ests. Your diplomacy is endeavoring not merely to prevent war today but to maintain peace forever. You set a fine example for the people of your sister republic who will look to you for cooperation and counsel when the Pacific question comes to be set tled.'
