is sufficient to bring forth an un-
preccdented demand for an opportu-
nifty to hear this great artist"

The petition alleges that the tes-
timony of Milder along with that of

good moral character for the FIVE
years previous to the time he ap-
piled for citizenship papers, was
false, and that his naturalization as

Hair Often Ruined
BY Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
,Hughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, IT'S
very cheap, and few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months.
