In their reports to th committee.
solicitors express! themselves e.
well pleased with th response they
are receiving irom tno so-caiteu
averasr people.
Disappointment, however, is fre
quently expressed at hospital head
quarters !caue the seemingly
studied indifference with which so
licitors are treated by several of the
most wealthy residents.
A few of the hospital workers say
they are beginning to see the cause
of the present widespread unrest.
One of these men said he thought
th hospital might be built, but he
was at a loss to see how this could
le done ir those with large properly
holdings, rat Lank accounts and al
most "unlimited financial credit con
tinue to refuse to lend a helping
hand in alleviating sickness, pain
and suffering which are inevitable
incidents of human life.
"I am going right ahead in this
work of getting subscribers." said
he. "I am buoyed up by the con
sciousness that we must "build this
hospital It we expect to keep alive
a humane and sympathetic reeling
for those in distress or suffering.
We must build this hospital it meet
the future needs of alem. We must
build this hospital to fit Salem to
become a real city of homes, with
all that those words Imply. We
must build this hospital to maintain

"There are many reasoas whv we

ir you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash It with.
Most soaps snd prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair britt'e.
and Is very harmrul. MulslfTed co
coanut oil shampoo (which Is pnre
and entirely greaselesa). Is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can t
possibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair witn wa
ter and rub It In. One or two tea-
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich- creamy lather, and clean
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and remove
every particle or dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dris
quickly and evenly, and It leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mnlslfled cocoannt
oil shampoo at most any drag store.
It Is very cheap and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone In the
family for months.
