large extent of groups of deserters
from troops that have been stationed
in Szechuen. The outlaws have be-
come so bold that mail consignments
hitherto immune from them, have
been seized.
One recent report that was brought
to Chengtu was of the robbery Of a
pack train on the big road" Which
is the main highway between Chung
king and Chengtu. In this forty
bags of mail were opened and rified
by the outlaws and "the whole hill

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.

the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. 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
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
