Don't Spoil Your Hair
by Washing Il

When you wash your hair. be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. which is very injurious,
as IL dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all 10 pieces. You can get Mulsified
at any drug store. and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in. about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather,
clcanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and

URGES INCREASING
CORPORATION TAX
Robert N. Miller Suggests
Substitute for Excess
Profits Tax.

An increased corporation normal
tax as a substitute for the excess
profits tax %as urged by Robert N.
Miller, former solicitor Of the bu-
reau of internal revenue, yesterday
before the senate finance commit
tee. Mr.. Miller opposed a sales tax.
He presented a tabulation showing
how to obtain the necessary rev.
enue without resort to a sales tax.
His suggestion in the main fol-
lowed along the lines of the recon-
mendations by Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon.
Mr.. Miller proposed increasing
the ten per cent normal tax on cor
porations to 16 per cent. which he
said would yield $3.50, 900 addi-
tional. Mr. Miller figured a total
revenue of s4.15o.oO0.0 900. This total.
however. is not quite as great as
estimated by Secretary Mellon to
be necessary in view of Mr.. MELONS
belief that $4,000. 100000 from in
ternal taxes will be necessary, not
including customs revenue.

RAIL Loss BLAMED
ON HIGH COSTS OF
LABOR AND SUPPLY
Mid-Western Road Head
Defends Freight Rates
Now in Force.
DENIES ANY WASTE
Says Road Keep on Alert TO
Cut Down Expense of
Operation.
DENIES ANY WASTE

The high cost of labor and sup
plies is mainly responsible for the
economic distress of the railroads,
H. E. Byam, president of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company, testified yesterday
before the senate interstate COM
merce committee which is investi-
eating the railway situation. These
items which, he said, absorb so per
cent of the operating expense of the
carriers, must be materially re-
duced, he declared, IL conditions are
to be relieved.
Uphold. Freight Rates.
Byam defended the freight rates
fixed under the transportation act
and argued against the feasibility
of reducing them along with the
operating costs. He insisted that
the rates must stay where they are
until the expense of operation had
been reduced suficiently to assure
the roads the net return authorized
by the act.
Edward Chambers, vice-president
of the Atchison. Topeka. & Santa Fe
Railroad company. who followed
Byam on the stand. expressed the
same opinion. He asserted that a
general business depression and not
the increased freight charges are
responsible for the diminished
volume of traffic, adding that a gen.
eral reduction would not improve
the situation.
Waste Policy Denied.
Reports of mismanagement and
extravaganza in the operation of
the roads were denied by Byam.
He said that his road, and the same
was true to others, was constantly
on the alert to prevent wasteful
practices and install measures of
economy in which the employees
were loyalty cooperating. He ad-
mitted. however. that these econo-
mics had not been reflected in salts
factory financial results.

WEATHER REPORTS
BRING LOWER LEVEL
Rains In Western Territory
Hampers Wheat Trade;
Coarse Grains Pressed.

CHICAGO, May 26. Rain reports
from Kansas. Oklahoma and Ne
braska, as well as precipitation over
the greater part of the winter wheat
belt, led to a lower range for July
wheat. but the inside figures were
not maintained as commission n
houses were good buyers under s1.31
for July. The May was of over
10 cents at one time, getting under
$40, compared with $i.s5 at the
high point yesterday, with heavy
selling by a house that usually acts
for seaboard' exporters. The lat
ter have been credited with being
the leading longs, and the action
Of the May was not a surprise TO
the trade. 1t is estimated that
Kansas City shipped 100 cars of
wheat to Chicago yesterday for de-
livery on May contracts, and grain
is coming here from Omaha. Min
neapolis and other markets. Bids
to arrive were reduced 5 cents to
the basis of IS cents over July
for No. i hard winter for 5 and
10 days shipment with No. red
20 cents over. Forecast was for
generally unsettled weather. SEN
timent is not as bullish as of late,
but there Is little disposition shown
to take the bear side of the mar
ket. Crop reports are decidedly
mixed.
Coarse grains were under pressure
and ranged lower. with the coun-
try a big seller of cash grain 10
arrive. The seahoard was after
cash corn and liberal sales were
made with charters for 100000 bush
els yesterday at tx cents to Buff
falo. There was fair class of buy
ing of futures on the break with
a government report indicating that
chinch bugs would be greatly in evil
dence over part of the belt as a
factor in the market. Cash corn
and oats were about unchanged as
compared with the July. Rains in
Illinois and other states were very
beneficial for the newly planted
corn. Provisions were weaker and
lower with grains and hogs. Buy
ing was scattered. Hogs were Is
to 25 cents lower, with bulk OF
sales at s7.S5as.15.

There was little out of the ordi-

railroad bonds. While rail stocks
were advancing in their own mar

were just barely holding their own.
