OTHER SCHOOL MATTERS

THAT "ECONOMIC CONFER.

The conference, ECONOMIC" So
called adjourned from Genoa to the
Hague, holds little Of promise. Lloyd
George was hard beset at Genoa
when he suggested it. He had a quick
choice to make TO escape the odium
of Il iizzIa and his wonderfully alert
mind was equal to the emergency.
He accomplished one thing worth
while when he secured pledges of a
truce in troubled Europe for a period
of several months. He hoped to get
the United States into the conference
ard doubtless is deeply disappointed
that he is not successful.
Our position that the unacceptable
and ultimate question would appear
10 be the restoration of productivity
in Russia something which only
Russia herself may do but which she
shows little disposition to undertake,

Hair Often Ruined
BY Careless Washinn

Soap should be used very carefully,
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
Mulsiied cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than anything else YOU can use.
Two or three tcaspoonfuls of MuIsf
hed IN cup or glass with little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse the
halr and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t In. 1t makes an abundance Of rich
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt.
dandruf and excess 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 a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months BE sure your druggist gives
you Mulsifed.-Ady.

the United States, that out Of this pro-
longed confabulation and consequent
truce in the quarreling something Of
