De Freese Assumes Charge at St, Mark's Church Rev. S. De Freese preached Sun day morning at St. Mark's English Lutheran church on "The Christ," taking as his text the words of Christ, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man Vometh unto the Father but by Me." "You often hear men boast," said Rev. Mr. De Freese, "that they never go to church or read the Bible or care about Christianity, but that they take care of their families, pay their debts and obey the laws and therefore are 'just as good' as professed, active Christians. "But obedience to the laws and -or dinary good conduct in dealings with men are not sufficient for salvation. In the words of the text, Christ lays down the one way by which we must come to the Father. There is no other way. Wise men do not set up their own -judgment as to what is right in opposition to the words of the Master as recoraea in me scrip tures." Gompers Takes Seattle Strike Up With U. S. Seattle. Wash..

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful, what you wash it with. i - Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possible injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough; to last everyone, in the family for months.' Advertisement.

NOT SATISFIED WITH RECALL OF LUXBURG Argentine Foreign Minister De clares Friendship With Ger many Will End Unless Con cessions Made at Once. (By Associated Press.) Buenos Aires, Sept. 17. Foreign Minister Pueyrredon informed The Asso:iated Press today that he is sat isfied that the expulsion of Count Lux burg, the German minister to Argen tina, has not closed the incident grow ing out of the telegrams the minister sent to Berlin through the Swedish legation here. Minister Pueyrredon declared that the Argentine government intends to act energetically, but not precipitated ly, in upholding the honor of the re public and to close the present inci dent favorably. The Argentine government has sent cablegrams to Dr. Louis B. Mo lma, the mmitser at Berlin, concern ing the negotiations, but no official response has yet been received. The foreign minister believes the delay is due to dithculties of transmission and the censorship The foreign minister said he be lieved Germany would make conces sions to retain the friendship of Ar gentina, but explained that friendship between the two countries will end unless the republic obtains the assur ances and concessions desired. The Kovernment prohibited todav an anti-German demonstration planned oy toretgn residents here.

Amsterdam, Sept 17. The pan German newspapers, which have taken longer than the remainder of the German press to digest Count Luxburg's famous dispatches to the German foreign office through the Swedish legation in Argentina com plain of Luxburg s lack of discretion and caution, and appear to be very cross with everyone concerned. The Taegliche Rundschau of Berlin says it was not absolutely necessary for the count to announce by cable that he regarded the Argentinan foreign minister a notorious ass. It thinks that might have been said later. The comment of Count von Revent low in the Tages Zeitung is dis tinguished from the rest by the ab' sence of any attempt to explain away Count Luxburg's reference to "sink- ing without trace." The count merely fumes because such dispatches indi cate that the submarine warfare had not been guided strictly and un changeably by the proclamation of the barred zone.
