Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very care

hair looking its best. Mosts soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries ths
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
ruins 1t. .....
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.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of
Mulsified in cup or glass with
a little water is sufficient to
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub It in. II

The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and 1t leaves the scalp soft, and

lustrous, fluffy and easy to man

You, can get Mulsified cocoa

it's very cheap and few ounces
will supply every member Of the

MEMORIAL TREES
/. To BE PLANTED
BY RAILWAY CO.
Rock Island Plans to Pay
Tribute to the Memory of
Dead Employees at CeIe-

Chicago, Sept. 24.--Memorial
trees will be planted by the Rock
Island railroad October 10 when it
celebrates its SEVENTEEN anniver-
sary, in honor of employees who
were killed in placing their loyalty
to the road before their own safety.
Employees who died in action in
the world war and those who spent
most of their lives in the service
OF the company, also will be hon
ored.
Bronze tablets bearing the names
OF the unsung heroes of the rail.
mounted on concrete markers, will
be planted at the bases of the trees
and will be cared for by the rail-
road as long as they stand to mark
the spot.
One tree will be planted to honor
the memory Of William N. McClel-
Ian, Fairbury, Neb.. engineer who
was killed under his engine. July
rs. 1922, when 1t plunged down an
embankment. He had closed his
throttle and thrown on the emer-
gency brake, so that no cars fol-
lowed the engine down the bank.

hand was still gripping the throttle
and the other closed over the air.

Another will honor David w.
Hanks. a bridge foreman, killed
October 3. 1919. when trying to
save fellow workman who had
slipped from bridge at Stuttgart,
Ark. which resulted in both plung-
ing to their deaths. William Il.
Warner, a carpenter, was drowned

however, caught the black man

Carpenter then swung two hard
rights to the jaw. Sikh took them,
merely shaking his head and
bored in. Carpenters face wore
a. puzzled expression, although
plainly he was holding back. Sikh
did not land clean blow.
In the second round Carpenter,
with look of disdain in his face,
repeatedly jabbed Sikh with his left
without return. Then. as Sikh was
rushing in, he caught the negro
flush on the jaw with a terrific
right swing. Carpenter drew back
expecting Siki to drop under the
blow. Sikh, however. instead rush
ed in and shot two short hooks to
the body. This surprised Carpen-
tier.
Lost His Confident Smile.

again caught Sikh flush on the chin

him. 1t was easily his round but

In the third round Sikh rushed
from his corner toward Carpenter.
Carpenter backed away and SPAR
red cautiously. Then he tented
with his left and. obtaining an
opening, drove a hard right to
Skis jaw. The negro dropped to
one knee and took a count of
seven. Then he jumped and caught
Carpenter with left and right
swings to the stomach. Carpenter
went down and took count of
four.
When the Frenchman arose he
plainly was groggy. Sikh. seeing
his advantage. showered rights and
lefts upon him. always playing for
the stomach. He had Carpenter
gasping for breath and staggering
at the end Of the round.
Carpenter Bleeding.
Tn the fourth round Sikh pun
meled Carpenter all over the ring.
The Frenchman was barely able to
withstand the punishment. He was
bleeding, his right eye was closed,
his nose was flattened and his
mouth wide open. Carpenter re-
sorted to all the known tricks of
his long experience. He endeav-
ored to hold the arms Of the negro
under his own arm pits. Sikh, over
anxious to finish his man. missed
many blows that would have ended
the bout had they landed. Mean
while Georges occasionally shot
wicked rights against his opponent,
which, however, failed to slow him
up. Up to this time the negro
showed no marks of punishment.
Warned by Referee.
In the fifth round Sikh again
sprang to the offensive from his
corner, intending quickly to polish
off the Frenchman. Carpenter
met the attack with a low blow and
was warned by Referee Bernstein.
The low blow seemed to enrage

An Easy Way to Have
Fruits, Berries and Vege-
tables for the Family All
Next Winter.

Drying has been known for
hundreds of years and Is prob
ably the Oldest method of food
preservation which the human
race has employed. In our
own country it was used in
the early colonial days for both
vegetables and animal foods.
Most people do not under
stand the possibilities and ad-
vantages of this simple, con-
venient and economical pro-
cess. 1t is not generally known
that all kinds of fruits, ber-
ries and vegetables can be har-
vested while they are plentiful
and then dried for winter use.
All the practical knowledge
there is on the subject of dry
ing is contained in a G0-page
