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 to use Is just plain
tnulsified cocoannt oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
ynonths.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it In. about a teaspoonful Is all
that is required. It makes an abundance

cruiting bill itself finally was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
"If the democrats, said Mr. Mann.
"refuse to let the house consider legis
lation that will bring drafted men
home, the responsibility is with the
democrats. The responsibility for such
a condition will be with a democratic
administration under legislation of the
democratic majority andagainst which
republicans protested."
Mr. Mann's declaration brought
sharp retorts from the democratic side.
Representative Humphreys of Missis
sippi, declared that "no demagoguery
can make the boys in France believe
that we are trying to keep them there.
His declaration for a small army was
applauded vigorously by the democrats,
as was also his assertion that soldiers
should not be held abroad for police
duty.
"A good deal of political camouflage
Is being indulged in here, said Rep
resentative Gordon of Ohio, democrat.
This legislation has nothing to do
with bringing the men back. No one
ever suggested that any one of the
proposed army of a half million was
to go to France. Such talk is political
material to meet the exigencies of the
occasion. The war department is re
turning them as fast as it can find
shipping for them."
Lobs Enlistment Opposed.
When the rule was being delfated Mr.
Mann predicted that it would not be
possible to enlist 175,000 men if they
were to be tied to the army for seven
years three years' active service and
four in the reserve. Such a plan, he
declared, would lead to the president
declaring that the emergency for the
conscript army still existed so America
might do its part in policing Europe.
You will, under such a plan, be re
drafting men against their will," he de
clared. Other republicans expressed
similar views and urged that the house
be permitted to consider the larger
army proposal.
Representatives Jones of Texas ana
Wise of Georgia, democrats, declared
it would be impossible to enlist a force
of 175.000 under the national defense
act and added a half million men were
unnecessary.
After disposal of the recruiting law
the house resumed work on thee army
appropriation measure, which had been
delayed by other business since last
Saturday.
Leaiilatioa la Eliminated.
All legislation In the bill was quickly
eliminated on points of order. First,
the military committee's proposal for
the temporary army of 2S.579 officers
and 509.909 men was stricken from the
bill., and immediately afterward the
legislative provision revoking the au
thority of the president under the
Overman act to consolidate or to create
new bureaus in the war department
was eliminated.
A pont of order by Representative
Maddan of lllinoir arainst another
legislative rider prohibiting the wear
ing of service chevrons also was sus
tained. After disposal of the legislative rid
ers, the house turned ' to the appro
priations carried for the military air
service, which had been temporarily
deferred for consideration. An appro
priation of J15.00n.000 for this service,
without any ipecific amount for pro
duction, was quickly passed and the
house then proceeded with final vote on
the measure.
