The bill providing for the latter offi- clals was signed by the executive today No appropriation is made for the work but it 1s probable that the officials will be chosen and a chance taken that the next legislature will make up the defl- clency.

Another provision allows the court to list cases with it from time to time with five bullets through his body. His aide and several other members of his staff also were killed.

The best thing for steady use is Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or any- thing else you can use. One or two teasponfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim- ply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oll. The hair_dries quickly and evenly, and it Yeaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
