This in cludes tha several amounts specifically named In the different appropriation bill, stimated amounts for the university and normal school fund taxes, and the vari ous cash funds. It does not, however, Include tZ72.03S.88 of the university funds which require no action by the legislature to make tbera available for use. (State against Brian, 84 Neb. 30). "If, therefore, every estimate hal been correct and every dollar appropriated by the legislature of 1918 had been colleoted nd spent, including the I27S.038.8S of non approprlated'universlty funds, the grand total would have been J9.lX147.eT.

"Omitting the special building fund re appropriation, carried over from 1918, but including the four trust funds which re quire no appropriation for university use, and assuming that the estimated amounts will be realised, a comparison of 1915 and 1913 follows: 19in. grand total $9,154,147.57 IMS, grand total 8,643. 4K9.60 Decrease in 1916 t 4K0.fc8.07 "The legislature of 1918 provided for and appropriated 90 per cent of a -mlll levy from a special university building (extension) fund.

TO USE OLD jfVPPROPRIATION Attorney General Reed Rules They Will Not Lapse Until the End of August. WINDFALL FOR NATIONAL GUARD (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. May 2. (Kperlal.) Attor ney General Reed has ruled In connec tion with an appropriation made by the 1918 legislature for the erection of a National Guard armory at the atate fair grounds. Just when an appropriation lapses. Only a part wss used, 84.000 being left of the amount! It has become nec essary to build an addition to the armory and he holds the balance left has not lapsed. This would apply to all appro priations of two years ago. The consti tution covering the mater reads as fol lows: Each legislature shall make appropria tions for the expenses of the government until the expiration of the fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the next reg ular session and all appropriations shall end with that quarter. The end of the fiscal year la November SO. Reports of state officers all end with that date. This would make each fiscal quarter, according to the attorney gen eral, end February 28, May 81, August 81 and November 30. He holds that as the legislature did not adjourn until some time In April the "next fiscal quarter' would begin June 1 and end August 81, consequently the blennlum for spproprla lions made by the 1913 legislature will not end until August 31. 1916. and those, appropriations cannot lapse until that date.

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 Just ordinary mulslfled coooanut oil (which Is pure and greaseless). Is cheaper and better than soap or anything eUo you can use. One or two teaapoonfuls will cleanio tha hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas ily, removing every particle- of du.it, dirt, dandruff and excessive, oil. Thu 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 mulslfled coooanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ouncos will supply every member of the fam ily for months.
