in our land, and the salary he re-
ceived will certainly not measure
up to the most insignificant po-
sition here; yet, he existed there
for many years and devoted his
time to study, teaching and
preaching, and philanthropic
work; he found time to give his
thoughts to the world. The ex-
penses of the publication of the
first work were subventioned by
Mr.. Adolf Stahl of Guaemala, in
fact Mr.. Stahl subventioned all
the publications and the author
dedicated them to his benefac-
tor. The war came on, the small
communities were almost ruin
ed. During the war they had
more problems than any of the
American communities, they had
to handle and care for the refu-
gees who flocked away from the
Russian frontiers and from Gal
icia. This man writes: Through
out the war we had in our COM
munity almost 1000 Jewish refu-
gees from Galicia and the Buko-
wilma. l made every effort, to at
least in a measure, alleviate their
misery while they were here,
and God be thanked that gain
ed the confidence of these poor
and unfortunate, so that could
help them with my counsel and
whatever aid l could give them"
The letter is too lengthy and was
written with tears instead of
ink, every line breathes despair.
This man asks whether he could
not be helped with $4,000 which
would restore him and his fami-
ly; he writes pleadingly, being
under the impression that the
recipient Of the letter is in such
a lucrative position that all he
has to do is to pull the string of
some of his members purse and
the amount will fall out without
any trouble, but this is not the
case, and a five dollar bill will
not help that man. But this is
not the only one who appeals.
The rabbis and teachers of all of
former Austria especially that
part of German Austria with vi
emma as its capital are in dire dis
tress, they are living in abject
poverty, in spite of the fact that

mittee sent to Prof. S. Krauss
the generous contribution Of
100000 which amount was, in
accordance with an old Jewish
adage too much to die and not
enough to live FROM" l do not

Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing Hair

If 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. Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than any
thing else you can use for shampooing'
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fulls 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 1t fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. IL rs
very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months. duN'

Want To Keep Your
Hair Perpetually Curly?

Perpetually wavy or curly hair is now
within the means Of every woman to
possess. One need only get few
ounces of plain liquid silmerine from
the druggist and apply little of it
occasionally with clean tooth brush
before doing up the hair. When this
dries the most beautiful and natural
looking waves and creases imaginable
are in evidence. Wind and heat do
not affect the curlness as where heat
ed iron has been used.
Liquid silmerine is SO pure and harm
less there is not the slightest danger
of spotting the scalp or streaking the
hair. and it leaves no sticky or greasy
trace. 1t will also be appreciated as a
beneficial dressing. as it keeps the hair
so soft, silky and lustrous. adv.

ting any better.
Then Tanlac came along and in just

improve and in only short time | was
able to enjoy my meals and everything
seemed to agree with me perfectly.
MY rheumatism Is so much better

NEW CLUE IN

ed about efforts to corroborate the
theory that Denton was shot to
death in the kitchen of his home, ear
ly in the morning of June 2, subse-
quently dragged to the basement where
the body was buried in crude vault
Acting on this belief Chief Deputy
District Attorney Doran ordered an
autopsy of Denton's body, now held In
the vault of local cemetery in an
attempt to find a bullet wound, the
bullet is supposed to be in the body
still.

garded as significant.
P. A. Comber, grocer, told the po-
lice that about June 2, he had deliv-
cred at the Denton home an unsual
amount of soap, cleaning preparation,
and chloride of lime. According to
Coomber, these were paid for by Mrs.
