Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition. be careful what you
wash 1T with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Mulsjfied cocoanut
oil shampoo (which is pure and entire
ly greaselcss) Is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooinH as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. One or two tea.
>spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
Sich, creamy lather, and cleanSes the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
Iather ripses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and II leaves il
fire and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. II Is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough To last everyone in the family
for months.

Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh Cathartics but
take "Cascarets."

Everyone must occasionally give
TO the bowels some regular help or
else suffer from constipation, bilious
attacks, stomach disorders, and sick
headache. But do not whip the
bowels into activity with harsh ca
thartics.
What the liver and bowels need Is
a gentle and natural tonic, one
that can constantly be used without
harm. The gentlest liver and bowel
tonic is "Cascarets." They. put the
liver to work and cleanse the colon

SAVE MONEY ON MEAT
WEEK APRIL ) TO 10

The State Fair Price Committee,
of the Department OF justice, mas
issued proclamation requesting the
people to observe "Save Money
Week." from April 5 to 10, inclusive,
and during this time the people OF
the entire country will buy only the
cheaper grades of meat, out Of which
many splendid table dishes can be
prepared. With view to carry out
this plan, John R. Tally. chairman
of the Fair Price Committee of this
county, has furnished the following
from the Fair Price Commission for
publication and for general informa-
ton:
"The Fair Price Commissioner ex-
planned today how the consumers
will be urged to save money on meat
by making the six days from April
to April 10 Save Money on Meat
week.
"This plan is designed to realize
the substantial economies which the
United States Department of Justice
has stated to be possible by more
extensive purchase of the less costly
meat cuts.
Accordingly, during Save Money
on Meat week the public is urged
to buy those portions which have
great nutritive value and are highly
palatable, but which cost far less
than the more popular cuts.
t'The retailers of this state will
cooperate in Save Money on Meat
week. Inexpensive cuts will be
stocked in unusual quantities. Whole
sale meat statesmen have agreed to
urge on retailers the purchase of an
adequate supply of less costly cuts
from April S to April 10. The cam
paign will be extended even into the
smallest towns.
Needless to say, the Fair Price
Commission will be watching to
make sure that no dealer tries to
make the stimulated demand fol
cheaper cuts an occasion for illicit
profits. The retailers should be able
to sell, and undoubtedly will sell, on
closer margin. due to the fact that
they will buy and sell these portions
in larger quantities than usual.
According to the Department OF
Justice, government experts who
have investigated marketing condi-
tions say:
AN abnormal demand for any
commodity forces up the price, and
this condition applies to Dorterhouse
steaks or other choice cuts. People
should use more forequarter meats
(whence come many inexpensive cuts
and reduce the cost Of living.
"Now is the consumers chance to
save money bv purchasing more
freely the cheaper portions of meat
They are cheap only in the sense
that they cost less"

DEATH PENALTY GIVEN
ALvERSON'S SLAYER

Port Gibson, Miss, March PA
verdict of guilty as charged, carry
ing a death penalty, was returned
this mdfning by the jury which tried
Jesse Watts for the murder of Dr..
d. S. Alverson, whose body was
found in grave on Fort Hill near
Vicksburg, on January 5.
The closing argument by the
states attorney was made before
midnight last night, but the jury
men refused to report until today.
The execution is set for May IA
in the Claiborne county jail at Port
Gibson.
Enchanting "Merciful God" when
the verdict was announced, Mrs.
Watts became hysterical. Watts
baby daughter patted its mothers
cheeks as she sobbed.
Watts made. no statement to the
court, but chewed a tootb1ick ner-
vously. He batted his eyes, but
never flinched when the verdict was
given. After kissing his children,
wife and sisters, he was returned TO
Jail.
When q motion for a new trial
was overruled the defense attorneys
announced an appeal would be made
to the state supreme court.
Watts will be taken back to Vicks-
burg today.

plice, was sentenced to life term

SAYS MARSHALL Jury

duty to sentence you to be hanged.
/ fix the date as Friday, May IA, and
you will be hanged by the sheriff of
Lee County privately in an inclosure
at the Tupelo Jail. However, on ac-
count of the frequency of escape
from the Tupelo Jail, I think it
necessary to confne you in some
other Jail until then. I turn you
over to the custody of the sheriff of
Monroe County. That is ALL"
Marshall returned to his seat. The
handouts were slipped around his
wrists and he left the courtroom.
The clock in the tower above tolled
two.
Under the law of Mississippi the
motion for another trial does not
have to be made before sentence is
passed, as in Tennessee. Marshall,
of course, will ask for a new trial.
It will doubtless be overruled and an
appeal VIII be taken to the supreme
court. The appeal will arrest the
judgment here, and stay the execu-
tion. Until the motion is made,
which will be this week, Marshall
will remain in the Tupelo Jail under
guard of the sheriff deputies. Real
ly he would probably be kept here
anyway, because he may be wit
ness for his father, John Marshall,
'yto GEES to trial ton. orrow morn
ing.
And here ended the first chapter
in the. trial for a crime which shock
ed the state of Mississippi as few
crimes in recent years have done.
