THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. MARCH 19, 1918. 3 1 Nebraska STATE TO. BRING "FW ACTION FOR THE SUFFRAGISTS Reed and Pool Rule That Con troversy Over What Goes on Ballot Must Come indif ferent Form. (From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb., March 18. (Special.) A new construction of tlie Nebraska law relating to injunctions to restrain the secretary of state from placing ti tles and other things on the election ballot, will necessitate bringing a new action to cover the suit brought by Edna M. Barkley and 24 other suf fragists in the Lancaster county dis trict court to restrain Secretary of State Pool from placing on the elec tion ballot at the ccming general elec tion a recall of the partial suffrage act passed by the last legislature. The Nebraska act, which is an exact copy of the Oregon law, already has lpn naccprl unnn liv til Orpo-rm I j - -r " ' courts. The court has declared that a citizen has no authority under the, - Jaw to bring a restraining action in " vsuch matter, but that the action must hp brnticyrtf hv trip statp itsplf in an ex rel proceedings. Attorney General Reed and Secre tary of State Pool assert that in the new act to be brought they expect to admit all contention of the plain tiffs so that there will be as little de lay as possible, and a statement to that effect was filed with the district court today. In the statement the officials say in part: "It is the intention of the defendant ' to stand upon the demurrer so it will require the introduction of no evi dence, if the legal position is not well taken by the defendant. If, however, the demurrer is sustained, the defect is fatal in this suit and a new action must be started and I assure the pub lic that an actio will be commenced in such a manner as to give all the parties a right to be heard touching the validity or invalidity of the ref erendum petition, and it seems that the state is the only one that can instiute such a proceeding."

Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. , The best thing 10 use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most -expensive soaps or anythiag else all to pieces. You can get this at- any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besidesit loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and. j dandruff. Advertisement.
