Don't Spoil Your Childs
Hair By Washing 1t

When YOU wash your child's hair -
careful what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, a. !
dries the scalp and makes the har
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mul,ifd
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pui'
and entirely greaseless. It's verT
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mglsi-
fled in cur or glass with nee
warm water is all that is required.
Simply moisten the hair with wNeL
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundatce
of rich, creamy lather. cleanses thu e
oughly. and rinses. out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking. bright. fluffy. watf
and easy to handle. Besides. u loos;:
ems and takes out every particle 81
dust. dirt and dandruff. You can g.
Mulsitied at any drug store, and few
ounces will last everyone in the fan-
lily for months. Re sure your drug
gist gives YOU MuIsified.-Adv.

CHICAGO PLASTERERS
MAKE SIG A DAY

CHICAGO. Sept. so.-Some union
plasterers in Chicago are making
bigger weekly wages than some
bank presidents. according to Her
man II. Hettler. lumber dealer and
president OF the Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association.
According TO what one contrac-
tor tells me-" said Mr.. Hettler. "hs
pays his plasterers 50 an hour and
$40 day bonus for working on his
jobs. That would make s25 a day
for union plasterers hired by that
particular contractor. Saturday
afternoons he pays s4 an hour. or
SIG for four hours work. The same
double scale of 81 an hour prevails
for Sunday work.
This contractor tells me also that
the union and the employers have
signed a three-year agreement Tho
contractors are said to control 100
per cent. Of all the pla-stering Jobs
in the city and the union 100 per
cent. OF the journeymen plasterers
and their helpers.
Combinations have been formed
among the supply houses that con-
control much OF the materials that
enter into the erecting OF buildings
in Chicago. Many building material
concerns have been known TO unite
with labor leaders TO bring about
conditions such as exist in the plas-
tering trade here"

PROVIDENCE DRUNKS
INCREASE IS PER CENT.

PROVIDENCE. Sept. 3o.--Drunk-
enness in Providence has -fncreased
IS per cent. since 1919, when pro-
hfbition became effective, according
to official figures IN the hands of
the police commission.
Arrests for drunkenness have in
creased 70 the point where they are
as numerous as in 1913. when there
was neither a Federal nor State pro-
hibition law and when approximate
Iy 800 saloons. drug stores and clubs
IN the city were licensed 20 sell
liquors OF all kinds.
The police commissions figures
show still further that drunkenness
Is now causing a larger proportion
OF arrests for all causes than II did
before prohibition.
