Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keen your hair In
good condition. be careful what YOU
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Mulsiied cocoanut

tirely greaselessl. Is much better
than anything else YOU can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub " in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The iather
rinses cut easily. and removes every
particle OF dust dirt. dandrun and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and II leaves II fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy TO
manage.

OWEN OR MEREDITH
BRYAN'S SELECTION

LINCOLN. Neb., June 24-In dis
cussing the probable choice of the
Democratic National Convention for
President in the Current Common
err" William Jennings Bryan valves
aside without ceremony any claims
that Woodrow Wilson may have on
that honor again. He finds but two
men 100 per cent on prohibition, suf-
frage and against Wall Street. These
are Senator Owen. of Oklahoma. and
Secretary Meredith of Iowa. Refer
ring to the President he says:
"To begin with, the President need
not be considered. While vague
hints and suggestions have been
thrown out occasionally, no one claim
ing to speak for the President or near
enough to him to be assumed to ex-
press his wishes, has announced his
candidacy"
After which he valves away Cox,
Marshall. and Edwards as "wets."
Bryan says Palmer Is handicapped
by his failure to stop profiteering
and the opposition of labor. while Nc
Adoo's relationship to Wilson and his
silence on the treaty bar him.

sympathetic feeling for the movement

Ireland and the establishment of Irish
nationality which is the national as
piration OF any liberty-loving people.

of the insincere demonstration In the

fused to vote for the treaty after II

"Bugs'' 'Baev
Remarks Upon
Candidates
and dLocusts
by "BUGs- BAER.
lCopYright, I92O.D

SAN FRANCISCO. June "a.
THE tax soused year OF 1920 will
cIatter down in history. as the
period OF the seventeen-year locusts
and the four year White House
candidates.
THERE is a spirit of brotherhood
between the locust and the can
didate. Both are bugs. They have
a working agreement by which the
candidate works the metropolitan
sections and leaves the suburbs to
the locusts.
\1yHICH authenticates the Dar-
" winian theory that there is
cooperation and a crude species or
language among the lower life on
this mans planet
THERE is an air of sincerity and
honesty around this convention
which was lacking in Chicago.
Probably due to the fact that the
big Democrats have not arrived yet.
THE Demoticket is still open.
] Palmer. Cox, Owen. Edwards and
Champ Clark all have chance to
the political masquerade was In be-
fore IL started. The Old Guard
didn't unmask until the tenth
ballot. The Old Guard is like guy
who waits until the rescue Is made
and then runs up and grabs the
Carnegie medal.
DUMORS are flying around thicker
N than whiskers on the chin OF
the 1915 G. o. p. nominee. but news
is scarcer than navigation on the
Great Salt Lake. The Demobosses
were strong for Palmer until a story
started about him smearing syrup
on both sides of his buckwheat
cakes, which places him irrevocably
among the radicals.
THIS convention is scared sour
that Progressive will horn
in and rattle off with the cakes. II
you want to ruin a guy just buzz
around that he was piped wearing
pearl gray spats with a Tuxedo and
the bosses discard him like deuces
on the draw.
DATHER than stake a radical to
N the nomination the bosses will
put UP a candidate who cuts his
own hair and who runs into the
house every time a Ford backfires.
They want a good old party locust
who will stick to the main herd
and who isn't liable to go outside
the lot for his meals.
CHQWING that a Democratic con-
~ vention doesn't differ much from
a Republican rodeo. Whatever his
politics happen to be at present CEN
sus, a boss Is always a boss.
MO ventriloquist would be a sue
y cess IL his red-headed manikin
developed a voice of his own.
THERE will be lots of fun at this
convention. 1t will be on the
up and up. There won't be any
sealed orders to be opened on the
sixth day out, like at Chicago. A
plebiscite of the defeated inhabiS
tants will indicate that the best man
didn't win, but the trimmed locusts
will have the advantage OF their
seventeen-year relatives.
THEY can come back in four years
for another meal.
