CORPS RECRUITS
SHOW SUBSTANTIAL GAIN

Washington, Oct. 12.-Recruiting
for the Marine Corps has made a re-
markable gain since July, when S26
recruits were enlisted. A substan-
tial increase was recorded for Au-
gust, when the total accepted appli-
cants numbered 1896, and in Sept
ember the total rose to 1856, more
than doubling the figures for July.
Early returns for October show still
greater increase, and it is expected
that the final figures for the cur
rent month will far exceed the Sep
TENDER total.
Enlistment figures in recent
months have been increased by large
numbers Of former Marines who are
returning to the service. Many OF
the new recruits are men who have
only recently reached the enlistment
age, and recruiting officers report
the younger recruits are attracted by
the educational opportunities offered
by the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps has not launch
ed any special advertising campaign,
and the present unusual rise in en-
listments is attributed to the fact
that many of the new recruits find
conditions in the service desirable
and are inducing their. friends to
join.

COMPANY VALUATION

< Dixon, H.. Aug H.--The ridicu-
lousness of the charges against the
state tax commission was pointed out
by Gov. Frank o. Lowden in an all
dress delivered here last night. He
showed that a deliberate attempt had
been made to create sentiment
against the tax commission act In
order to save the old board of equal
ization, and now that the board has
been abolished all effort has been
made to embarrass 1t and the admin
istration by false accusations.
The governor showed that the
charge relative to the Pullman assess
ment was absolutely without founda-
non. The assessment Of the Pullman
company he explained, was dcliber-
ately doubled by the old board Of
equalization In an effort to provide
propaganda to be used against the
abolition of the board.
For more than thirty years" he
said, the friends of good government
in Illinois has been trying to get rid
OF the state board OF equalization, and
substitute therefor tax commission.
! II was VIGOROUSLY inefficient or worse.
The state board of equalization as an
agency of taxation had been abolish

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II 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. Afulsiied cccoalrut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
1essl, is much better than anything else
you can use for shanpooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two tcaspoonfuls
will make:an abundance of rich, creamy
laAer, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinscs out cas-
lily 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 manage. -
You can get Mulsilicd 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.
