HIGH TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AHEAD
One of the first tangible fcteps toward the period of reconstruc
tion that must follow the war has-been taken by Senator Wesley L.
Jones of the State of Washington. He has introduced a bill'aiithor
izing the President to appoint a commission of 27 members, includ
ing representatives of manufacturing, commercial, agricultural, trans
portation, banking, and other vital interests of the country. 'The
duty of the commission will le it make an investigation of our needs
growing out of the War, and to recommend legislation to Congress
that willl properly meet the conditions that will confront us after
peace is declared. The development of our-foreign and domestic
trade is to be one of, the primejobjets to be investigated. The bill
appropriates $300,000 for the expense of the- commission, and. they
are directed to report within six months from the date of their
appointment. - I , ?

'Salem people are interested in the' news of the consolidation of
the two leading advertising agencies of Oregon., The agncies which
have combined their forces art the Deute-Tyler Company and the
Botsford Advertising' Company both of Portland. .Mr. Deute, onr
of the "original organizers of the first haitied company, was adver
tising manager of The Statesman until just before he helped launch
that enterprise. However, ne has not been active in that agency for
,a long time, having taken up with other interests. P. S. Tyler, the
chief of that concern for a long time, is a frequent visitor to Salem,
. in connection with his work for; the Pheasant Fruit Juice Company,
whose products he has helped to make favorably known the country
over. . Among" those who will be heads of departments in the consoli-
y dated concern, which will be known as the Botsford-Tyler Company,
are P. S. Tyler, David M. Botsford, W. K. Botsford and A. E. Bloch;
all well known in the advertising and business world. This will make
J a .very . strong and vigorous combination, capable of helping all
Oregon. Among the clients of the new concern are : The Northwest
Fruit Products Company, of Salem, and Olympia, Wash.; Pheasant
, Fruit Juice Company, of Salem - Yakima Valley Fruitgrowers Asso
ciation, of North Yakima; R. M. Wade & Co., of Portland; Noglare
Auto Lens Company, of Portland ; Oregon City Woolen Mills, of
Oregon City; Pacific Coast Biscuit Company, of Portland; Charles
K. Spaulding Logging Company, of Salem; Vogan Candy Company,

Russell II. Conwell, the dean of American lecturers, told his
snlendid Salem audience on Tuesday evening how the Capital City
may be made one of -the- most-prosperous and rapidly growing cities
in the country. The matter rests with our own people. If we-would
alL stand-by one another, and all pull together, the trick would be
turned. It can be done right here, by the people now here.
It is to be hoped that, when State Treasurer Thomas B. Kay re
turns from his tour of investigation concerning flax manufacture, he
will be ready to tell Salem how the north mill site and power may
oe uunzea, ior tneooa oi our. State and the Nation.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco

Bulphur recipe at home,, though, is

gredients, a large bottle, at little

"W'yeth's Sage, and Sulphur Com

While gray, faded hair i.- not sin

youthful appearance and attractive

with it and draw this through your

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoq
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. -This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. , Just plain mulsi
fied cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply, moisten your hair fwlth
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, u The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
qnickly and evenly, and It leaves It
fine and ilky,.; bright, fluffy and
easv to manage. . ,
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It Is very
