Hair Often Ruined
Ry Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, il you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Many soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much free aikali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsitied Cocoanut oil shampoo,
which is pure and rreaseless, and
is better than anything else you
can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is
sufficient to cleanse the hair and
scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich.

easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp

easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut

Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

Or. Edwards olive TabIets-the SUBJ
Gtitute fer caIomeI-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. These little we
colored tablets are the result of Or.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that caIomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't lnjure the teeth like
strong liquids or caIomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct

the teeth? CaIomeI sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do stronq
liquids. 1t Is best not to take caIomeI.

Thousands of women at the

" lessness. High blood pressure must
i, be. treated and stopped for every

/. STEEL BECOME
SCARCE
One Of Youngest Of Arts Is
Passing Away-ExampIes
Sought-Some Masters.

Even though a young art, com.
paratively speaking, steel engrav-
ing which was not practiced until
1920, has almost completely disap-
peared and specimens Of the prod
uct are now principally found in
collectors hands, who hold them
at almost prohibitive prizes.
There is a great demand at pres
ent for steel engraved portraits
Of the leaders Of the civil war and
Of the revolutionary period and Of
incidents relating to early Ameri-
can history.
The claim is made that the first
successful steel engraving pup.
lished was that of Wilkes Broken
Jar" illustrating Coxe's Social
Day."
There are five principal styles
OF engraving, including the wood.
cut, the copper or steel in line and
| sttpple, the mezZotint, the litho.
graph and the etching.
The general term engraving Is
commonly applied to any picture in
black and white, which is printed
from blocks or plates. The sub
stance engraved may be wood, cop.
per, zinc, steel, stone, silver or
gold The artist works upon these
blocks or plates, or whatever sub
stance, from which the printer OBJ
, tains the impression.
In the production Of the line en-
craving upon copper, the artist cuts
or plows the lines into the plate
with the burin, so that the lines
Of the design are sunken into the
substance just the reverse OF the
wood-cut where the lines are raised
by cutting away the surrounding
substances.
These lines or burrows Of the cop
per plate are filled with ink, while
the remaining smoth portion Of the
plate is kept clean. In printing,
! the paper takes up the ink from
the ink.filled burrows and in this
manner the line engraving Is pro-
duced. Engraving on wood Is termed
xylography, being Greek term and
being derived from xylos, wood;
and graphic, to engrave; on stone,
lithography; and copper, chal-
| geography.
Among the celebrated line en1
gravers may be mentioned the
I names of Duerer, Marcantonio AL
degraver, Lucas Van Leyden, Colt
zius, Raphael Morghen, Audran,
Drevet, Longhi, Edelinck, Nant9uil,

PARDON SOUGHT
FOR 5000 i. s.
SOLDIERS
sLegion Posts, War Mothers
and Other Groups Inter-
ested in Amnesty.

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-A blanket
pardon for every United States
asoldier convicted by court-martial
land still in prison is the object
Gof nationwide movement in
which American Legion posts, war
smothers' organizations and others
have signified their willingness to
cooperate, 1t is announced.
One of the leaders of this move
..ment is Joseph H. Norville, an at
torney at Memphis, Tenn, who
was a major on the judicial staff
Of the A. e. F. and now seeks
pardons for number of soldiers
I'm whose convictions he played a
leading part.
Cooperating directly with Nor
Vile is Miss Mary j. Warren, a
Red Cross nurse, who was sta
stioned on Governors Island be-
store and after the armistice, and
swho, by her own efforts, has OBJ
atained pardons for three soldiers
4within year.
8 5000 Stin in Jails.
{ It has been pointed out by per-
sons interested in the blanket par.
don movement that the United
! States is. the only country which
has not granted such an amnesty,
and that, as. a result, some 5000
soldier prisoners are still serving
fsentences in Leavenworth, Kansas,
Atlanta and in the prison near
San Francisco. A letter just re-
sceived by Miss Warren from Nor
vile reads in part:
Z 'sHoweVer strict justice may
have been dealt to the ex.service
men, the fact remains that the
United States Government did not
deal equal and impartial justice
TO others. The result Is that the
soldiers received harsher treatment
than the sIackers. 1t is this stu
mtiOn which demands Executive
Semency and warrants the par
lOn Of all soldiers. At the pres
,Snt time the merits or demer1ts
sof individual cases are immaterial
The question should be urged on
the basic proposition that failure
to pardon convicted, soldiers is to
.ipenalize patriotism and reward
streason and traitorism.
I'VE have seen the draft dodger,
fthe Stacker, the profiteer, go un-
s0cathed. Only those who were
willing to serve are kept incarcer-
-~ated.
"The soldier served his country,
and many Of the acts for which
some of them were convicted were
the results Of temptations to which
they would not have been exposed
chad it not been for military serv-
Fice.
Z ''It is too late to hand out JUS
tice evenly. Tt is not too late for
former soldiers to receive equal
mercy and clemency.
q whenever any organization takes
favorable action along these lines
It should advise other units of the
decision and have those other units
take similar action. Resolutions
passed should be sent to Senators
and Representatives"
Miss Warren said the movement
IL especially strong in the West,
ana is just now spreading to the
East, where, she feels sure, 1t will
meet with ready response as soon
as the public Is informed of it.

THE LIFE OF COLUMBUS

Christopher Columbus spent hi
boyhood dn the ancient city of Genoi
in italy on the shore of the Mediter
ranean Sea.
Christopher's fathers occupation
was combing wool.
Christopher Columbus liked Geo
graphy very we'll and he used to play
on the shores of the Mediterranean
Sea. The old sea captains used to
delight in telling him stories because
he was so interested. He often went
with an old sea captain on the sea.
These trips were full of danger
not from the storms but from sea
robbers and pirates.
As Columbus grew up he vowed
he would someday be a sailor. AS he
grow he heard more and more tales
about the Turks" robbing the cara
vans on their way back to Italy from
India. They were trying to find a
new route to India by sea.
Columbus was now grown man
and very fine looking. Soon he mar
ried and went to Lisbon which was
full of exciting scenes.
But one day as he was looking over
some old maps of his fathers he was
startled to find he could reach India
by going directly west. At this time
everybody believed the world was
fat. But Columbus thought 1t was
round.
Then he began making plans to
find the new route to India. He went
on long voyages and talked with old
sailors. Finally Columbus laid his
plans before the new king of Portu-
gal King John II.
The king did not believe him so
he secretly sent out ship to test the
plan.
The sailors became frightened be-
fore going very far and went back
and told the king that they saw the
edge OF the world. Columbus was
angry with the mean trick they had
played on him and went to Spain
taking with him his little son
Diego. The King and Queen re-
ceived him kindly. which was at the
time of Ferdinand and Isabella. 1t
was hard for these rulers to aid him
because money was scarce. But aft

ter a while Queen Isabella sold her
jewels to raise enough money for the
expedition. So on August 8, 1892
the little fleet of three vessels and
ninety stout hearted men sailed out
of the bay of ''Palos."
Columbus commanded the ship
Santa Maria, the largest OF the three.
The other two were Nina and Pinta.
After many days they sailed into an
ocean filled with seaweed and so
wide that no sailor could see the
end.
The sailors begged Columbus to
turn back but he encouraged them
by showing them signs Of land such
as green branches and fiocks of birds
and such things.
Because Columbus would not turn
back they threatened to throw him
into the sea.
One night Columbus saw far away
in the horizon glimmering light
such as torch.
On Friday morning October 10,
l492, Columbus dressed in a robe OF
red and carrying the flag of Spain
stepped onto the shores OF the new
world. Around him were gathered
his officers and sailors dressed In
their best and carrying banners and
crosses.
