Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Mmt annna and nrerjared shamPOOS contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled 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 possibly 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 fir and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. 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.

It was here that he defended men in high places. On the train from New York to Indianapolis, he said, he heard the names of many men suggested to take the places of those in responsible governmental positions, but not one of the men named, he added, has ever done a public service or expressed a wbrd or thought in behalf of labor. He mentioned no names. Mr. Gompers defined Bolsheviki to mean a group of men who are the ex tremest of extreme Maximalists, men who want all their dreams to come about in one fell swoop. Takes Slaps st I. W. W. After declaring that tla "czar in his palmiest day never did mora harm than the Bolsheviki has done,? he reminded labor that it has its Bol sheviki in this country.
