Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too mucfi alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. ] The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. “One or two teaspoonfuls will | cleanse the 'hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abun- dance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every par- ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and exces- sive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil t any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- “Oct. 11-14 ber of the family for months.—Ady, | ROTARIANS CONE T0 SALUTE KING {Olub Members From Nearby Domains Pay Respects to Ak-Sar-Ben.

The Omaha Rotary club was host in the early part of the evening giving 3 dinner for the guests and showing them about the city. Then they were whisked to the den wh they were shown the wonders of this place and also its horrors. Lincoln sent the largest number of visiting club men, while Sioux City, with half a hundred of its livest de- votees of Rotary made the welkin re- verberate. Among the number was ex-District Governor Knutson, - Rev. J. R. Perkins, President Wheeler and Secretary Hoskins. _The show was perhaps never better. Everyone from King Tartarax to the white wings was in fit form. Speakers to Front. Following the entertainment of the evening Dr. E. C. Henry, president of the Rotary club of Omaha, called a number of speakers to the platform, where a few speeches were permitted. Those who spoke were Keith Neville, of North Platte, democratic candidate for governor of Nebraska; Harry Por- ter, president of the Lincoln Rotary club; President Dodd, of the St. Joseph Rotary club, and O. J. Fee, of Lincoln. Keith Neville recounted Nebraska's resources and advocated a state pub- ity bureau to advertise the re- sources of the state to attract settlers from eastern states. Dr. Henry, in presiding, praised the Rotarians and at the same time told what Ak-Sar-Ben has done for Omaha. “It has revolutionized busi- ness methods,” he said. his ma- e Lincoln on Deck. President Porter of the Lincoln Ro- tarians and President Dodd of the St. Joseph Rotarians expressed their gratitude for the entertainment Omaha and Ak-Sar-Ben had offered them, and made their speeches ac- ceptably short, which is always pleas- ing to an Ak-Sar-Ben crowd, no mat- ter who the speaker. The crowds from Lyons, Tekamah, Craig, Oakland and the other towns on the M. & O. road could not come last night as they had intended to because the M. & O. road held out for a larger guarantee for a special train than the boosters from that section cared to make them. Their date will be fixed later. GOOD NEWS FOR THE DEAF A new hearing device being dem- onstrated—the Multitone Auriphone. Look at it and you see the simplest and smallest device in the world.

Senator Grace started out Monday from his home in Mascot with his family to pay a visit to old friends in Macedonia and Glenwood, la. It takes two atuomobiles to transport | the senator and his family, which on this trip consists of himself, Mrs, Grace and fourteeen children and 4he family dog. He struck Lincoln Sunday night just before the two-inch rain which followed and the one which came again Monday afternoon. quently thes senator was laid up at the Lincoln hotel waiting for the Conse- | roads between here and Iowa to dry u to The Bee, “my pocketbook is dry- ing up also, and when a man starts out with an army like I have it means something to be marooned at a first- class hotel. However, the senator does not need to worry about the funds. Whenever a democrat gets busted financially in Lincoln there is {always Dr. Hall to relieve his dis- tress. The thing Senator Grace worries over the most is his campaign, and he does not appear to have lost any of his 245 pounds over that. “The ‘dry fellows are after my scalp,” said | he, * but when I get back from my trip and get in the running you'll see old Jack kicking up such a dust in the face of the enemy that he won't be heard of after the votes are counted.” e I;sAues on wglcl_l— Wilson Will Make Fight for Re-Election Cleveland, O., Aug. 15.—The issues | upon which President Wilson will base his fight for election were out- lined by Secretary of War Baker to members of the democratic county central committee at their conven- tion here tonight.
