Use them for results, Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos con- tain too much alkall, which is very in- jurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mul- sifled cocoanut ofl, for it is pure and en- tirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else to pleces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Stmply moisten the hair with water and rub it In; about a teaspoonful fs all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and s soft, fresh looking, bright, fluy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besldes, it loosens and takes out every par- ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.—Adv. MUST MOVE TEARS OF MOTHER ARE OF NO AVAIL Even Permission of Governor of State Fails to Restore Lad To His Home.

But his mother wanteu him to stay at home He is not of age and his father, a postoffice clerk, 1s a semi-invalid.

She saw Governor Morehead and the gov- ernor endorsed the letter with the statement that young Gunner should be excused.

Up to Secretary of War, The sergeant then proceeded to the postoffice, where he saw his father. The postmaster telephoned to Ad- jutant General Hall at Lincoln, but was informed that nothing could be done by anybody except the secretary of war. The sergeant was assured then that young Gunner would be at the sta- tion to go back with him on the 2 o'clock train. He was there. It is believed there will be no dif- ficulty in getting his release as soon ?s the secretary of war can be heard rom, Gutzon Borglum Will Not Come to Omaha at This Time Gutzon Borglum of New York, noted sculptor and former Omahan, who was expected in Omaha for the marriage of his favorite niece, Miss Ida Darlow, and Mr. Floyd Burdi:, [§ has wired that he is unable to come.
