NOT A MATTER OF SEX.

The Post-Intelligencer carried a
local story a few days ago, advancing
the theory, founded on observation,
that while a woman does not care
much about writing letters, when she
does write she wants to be sure the
letter is bummed won, properly
stamped, and addressed and headed
right on it's destination. This induced
a philosophical discussion from the
Portland Oregonian in which the as
sumption was advanced that woman
has an instinct for ordiliness and ex-
actness which man sadly lacks. In
short, the Oregonian makes sex is
sue of it. The man, it appears, is
bound to be careless, disorderly and
forgetful; the woman, by reason of
her sex, is bound to be orderly, ex-
act, a stickler for details.
This segregation of order and dis
order may occur in the Oregonian's
territory, but one does not often find
it elsewhere We seem to recall
many males whose devotion to order
ard detail and eXactness was almost
disease; and one recalls, also, many
careless females whose minds were

fairs were always in an inextricable
disorder. II sex segregates the or
derly and careless, then there are
many men with the female mind and
many women with the male mind,
And this latter seems to be the fact.
We do not find men and women wrap
ped up in packages that may be ac-
curately assayed by the label "man"
or the label woman"
In fact, we suspect that it is en-

tircly possible for man to be ply

like his great grandmother, and tenn
pcramcntaIly like his mothers eld-
eat sister. And the woman with the
masculine mind and habits is too Of

often in marriage; the husband, a

falls of life with admonition and
censure, and possibly with occasional
chastisement. 1t is absurd to say
that one of these, by reason of sex,
would be orderly and exact, and the
other, by reason of sex, disorderly
and careless. The Oregonian will
doubtless recall that a man has a
mother as we'll as a father, and that
he is quite as likely to inherit a mind

Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's 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 thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing 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.-Adv.

The Missouri senator denied what

country is thereby committed and
bound to accept not only league but
any kind OF a league the president

Senator Reed said the peace reso-
