WASHINGTON, May 18. Tim re
ports, one by republicans condemning
the government's entire wartime m
trate programme and charging reck
less waste and itravagance, and the
other by democrats defending it and
charging partisan bias by the ma
jority, were presented today to the
house by a special committee which
took up the investigation nearly a
year ago.
Along, with its 41 general condem
nations rof the government policy, the
republican majority, comprising Chair
man Graham, Illinois, and Represen
tative Jeffcries, Nebraska, submitted
recommendations for future disposal
of the Mussel Shoals properties, which
Representative Oarrctt of Tennessee,
the democratic member, declared was
beyond its province.
Big Klgbt IjOohu.
M. Garrett indicated be would
wake a point of order against the re
port on that ground. Members said
this would open the way for the big
gest political fight in the house since
the war investigating committee was
created.
In the two reports, embracing 75,000
words, every detail of the nitrate pro
gramme was discussed.
In the first of its findings the ma
jority charges that the nitrate pro
gramme cost th government $116,
194.974 and that no nitrates were
produced prior to the armistice and
that it contributed nothing toward
winning the war.
Minority Denies Wante,
The minority replied that if war
expenditures were to be judged by
the unexpected end of hostilities,
three-fourths of the nation's efforts
were useless.
The conflicting reports were debat
ed for an hour in the house today
and then laid aside temporarily for
other business.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With
Most soaps and "prepared shampoos
contain ; too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries tne scaip
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thine to use is Aiuisinea
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Rimolv moisten the hair witn water
and rub it in; about a teasponlul is

.abundance of rich, creamy lather,
