that the Hotel Astor had never been

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Snap should be used very carefully. II you
want 10 keep your hair looking its best.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain
100 much free alkali. This dries the scalp
makes the hair brittle. and ruins it.
Tie best thing for steady is Nulsihed
cncoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and
greaseless) and is better than anything else
y"u
Two or three teasroonfuls Of Mulsifed in
cup or glass with little water is
sufficient TO cleanse tho hair and scalp thor
nughly. Simply moisten the hair with water
nd rub the Musificd in. It makes abun-
ds nee 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 aud silky, bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy TO manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo

ounces will supply every member Of the fam

per cent. less than in 1920, and AZ
per cent. less than in 1913
The cutting of gas costs in Stock
holm 25 per cent lower than the
present rate, and of electricity IL
1-2 per cent. to take effect after
the end of the year, is the result
of the profits earned by the Stock
holm city gas and electrical plants
during the past two years. Water
rates, for the same reason, will
be lowered four percent. from the
present schedule.
In announcing these reductions the
administration of the municipal in
dustries reported that the three
utilities of gas, electricity and wa
ter had earned surplus last year
of s3,4OO,O00, and that present con-
ditions indicate similar profits for
this year. This gratifying success
is due to rapidly increasing consump-

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 16.-The old
adage that troubles come not singly
has been reversed in Sweden; at
least, tha tbs what the bulk of the
population in Stockholm think. One
day they learn that the charges for
gas and electricity will be greatly
reduced during the winter, the next
that water rates also will be cut.
and the third that beer is to be made
stronger. And all these reports are
true.
The Swedish Riksdag has voted
to permit the increase of the alco-
hol content in beer from 3.6 per
cent. to per cent by volume, or
from 2.s per cent to 80 per cent.
by weight. Since Stockholm voted
wet on last years national refer
endum on prohibition, which was
lost, there is general satisfaction
in the new legislation. The con-
sumption of hard liquors in Sweden,
however is steadily on the decrease,

Kcls is under sentence of death for

Delegates Again in Session
Today Will Draw Up a

AS far as developed the tentative
plans of the Division Convention in

memorial asking Congress to divide
Alaska by making the First Dvis.
ion a separate Territory, to prepare
a statement or exhibits concerning
the development and resources of
the proposed Territory and to pre-
pare an organic act for introduction
in Congress. The consensus of opin-
ion seems to be, further, that an
invitation be sent to the communi-
ties of the Prince William Sound
and Copper River Valley regions to
join Southeastern Alaska and to
make 1t plain to Congress that should
1t see fit to include that part of
