Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II 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

harmful. Mulsifed cocOanut oil sham
poo (which is pure and entirely grea Sc .
less), is much better than anything else
you can use for shampOoing, as this
cant possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub IL in. One or two teaspOonsful

By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Smile, Smile, SMILE.
BIZ DOROTHY DI,

Smile, Smile, smile.
The girl who smiles is a winner,
because a smile is the badge OF cour-
age People who meet the ups and
downs of life with a grin, are those
whom Fate cannot conquer They
have the strength within them that
enables them to surmount every d1t-
ficulty that lies in their paths, and
that carries them on to victory In the
end.
Most of us fail because we get down.
hearted. We lose faith in ourselves.
We become towards who supinely
give up without fighting a lick in the the
battle. We dope ourselves on SELF
pity. We howl and whine and COM
plain until everybody flees from US,
and so we shut every door of oppor-
tunity in our faces.
This is true of men. 1t is doubly
true of women. If nobody wants a
man about who is glum. and cynical.
and a perambulating hardluck story.
be sure nobody wants a woman around
who is drenched in tears. and who is
about as depressing a companion as a
funeral procession would be.
But the woman who locks up her
skeletons in their closet and throws
away the key. who puts the soft pedal
on her personal griefs, and who turns
a brave and smiling face on life. is
the one that everyone of us will go
miles out of our way to give a helping
hand to, and who never lacks for
friends, or open doors to welcome her.
If a girl wants to marry, there is
no other way by which she can win
her way so surely into the masculine
| heart, as by smiles. Men do not like
women who laugh much. They hate
| the woman who is noisy, and loud,
| and always ha-ha-ing at something,
or nothing, and trying to be vivacious
and lively. Also they, loathe the gig
| gler, who gets upon their nerves: but
! they fall for the girl with the sunny
smile that betokens quiet and serene
| disposition.
The thing that makes a man for
sake his bachelor comfort and
shoulder a woman's board bill and
| shopping ticket, is the dream of be-
| ing met, when he comes home tired
at night, by a smiling wife. The ideal
| wife of every man, is woman who is
bright and cheerful, and contented,
| and good-humored. A woman who
/ can smile, and smile. and smile thru
| good times and hard times, who can
| meet the inesca pable trials and tribu-
lations of life with a smile instead of
| tears, who can even smile fresh
courage into man when his own
| courage has gone down to zero.
! The wife who has got a strangle
| hold on her smile that nothing can
1 break, has no need to dread age and
| fat, nor fear vamps and flappers.
She has got that which binds her to
her husband with hoops of steel, for
she who has good-nature and cheer
fulness. has a charm whose conjure
never fails.
So, girls, if you want to win out,
just smile, smile, smile.

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

BRAVE.
Brave is an easy word, and yet
1t is not easy to be brave:
One must be patient and forget
The sorrow of the grave.
When every hope is blown away
By cruel winds and chill
Above the ashes of dismay
Must smile unconquered will.
Nor is this all of bravery
For hearts have much to bear
And there are deeds men never see
Which call for courage rare.
And there are many things to fear
Along the path of men.
The undeserved and cruel sneer
From thoughtlesS voice and pen.
Can you be constant for the right
When you might quickly buy
Success and ease and its delight
By living out lie?
A brave man not alone by fire
or conflict meets the test.
He must forego his own desire,
To stand for what is best.
The truth oft asks a heavy price
From men who walk its way,
And its harsh terms of sacrifice
Only the brave will pay.
