4 Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which Is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain raulslfled cocoanut oil, to r this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole fam ily for months. Simply moisten the lialr with water and rub it in abouf a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, brignt, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, It loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

TIIE CAPITOL'S ARCHITECTURE You drop down into a tunnel in the basement of the House Building and proceed through that tunnel into the cellar of the Capitol, and there, taking the direct air-line route for Gardner'B •office, you turn to the right and walk along a corridor for quite a while and then turn to the right again and walk along another corridor for quite a while and sight an elevator and hail it and enter it and rise to the next level arid turn to tho left and walk along a corridor till you perspire gently and turn to othe right and walk along a •corridor till you get your second wind and find yourself in a tropical jungle of massive squat pillars through which you pick your way in a generally left wardly direction and at last emerge and descend a few steps and then de scend a large number of steps and then descend a few steps more and march perseveringly along a corridor and turn briskly to the left and bound up a flight of beautifully designed steps and swerve sharply to the right and stagger down a tlight of charm- ■ ingly executed steps into a dark hole! }n which there are wooden partitions. | and there you are! That's Gardner's office. All that the Capitol needs is to get rid of the elevators and install a bat tery of sure-footed mountain burros. -—From William Hard's description of| Augustus Peabody Gardner (6th | Mass. Congr.

Harrisburg, Pa., "and when I took a heavy cold a while ago it sure did sink its claws in. "It hung on and hung on and all the medicine I could take didn't have any more effect on it than water on the back of a duck. "I got scared, believe me, for it kept getting worse instead of better and it just wore all the pep out of me until I felt weak and limp as a rag. "I read in some of the ads in the papers about Tanlac helping a lot of folks I knew about so I went and got ii bottle and, believe me, it got right after little old Mr. Cold like a cat after a mouse. "Just got right underneath him and ran him out quick." "Now there's not a sign of the cold left and I feel bully. Got plenty of ambition, enjoy my work and when it comes to appetite, my horse has got nothing on me. Tanlac is great stuff and you can tell everybody I said so." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tan lao man is meeting the people and ex plaining the merits of this master Ijnedicine- MONDAY EVENING, NATION READY FOR WAR FOOTING Fleet to Remain on Alert at .Guantanamo to Strike at Moment's Notice WILSON SEES CHIEFS Mobilization Orders Are Ready For Regular Army and National Guard Washington, Feb. s.—The country is prepared to go on a war footing to day. Immediately on returning from the Capitol President Wilson summoned Secretary of War Baker and Secretary of the Navy Daniels to the White House. He desired to take up the mat ter of necessary precautionary military measures without delay. The Presi dent, realizing that the hope to avert hostilities is a slender one. asked for a statement concerning the military and naval establishments from the point of view of preparedness for even tualities. Ho also wanted suggestions as to the first precautionary moves that should be made at once. The conference lasted about half an hour and bristled with decisions sug gested by the two secretaries and In dorsed forthwith by the President. Ad miral Mayo, commanding the battleship fleet, is to his vessels in readiness at Guantanamo and see that everything is shipshape aboard all the vessels un der his direct command. Mobilisation Orders llroilr Mobilization orders for the regular army and National Guard are ready and await only a word from the President to be put into cfTect. Without addi tional authority from Congress Presi dent Wilson can direct that the regular army be Increased at once to its full war strength of 286,000 men and the navy to $7,000. There are in the Na tional Guard about 150,000 men. The full strength of the gual-d, 440.000, can not be required under existing law within four years. The regular army now numbers about 120,000 and would not be recruited to full strength ex cept on order of the President in an emergency "of threatened war." The President and Mr. Baker discus sed the most expeditious means of bringing the country to a war footing in the shortest possible time the mo ment hostilities with Germany became a certainty. The War Department's mobilization plan, drawn up by the General Staff, is regarded as fitting any imitial trouble. It will be used also as the basis for the establishment and equipment of a new army which the President now real izes must be speedily put into shape if war confronts the country. The tentative plans discussed revolved about the actual mobilization and the creation of the new forces. Orders were sent out to every fort, arsenal and depot of military supplies to re double the guard against any purprise attempt to damage them, but the main features of the conference concerned the plans for really putting the coun try on a war footing. So far as the mapped out mobiliza tion is concerned, it is probable that during the cold months at least the National Guardsmen, after being mus tered into federal service, would re main at armories or in camp. Training would be the watchword. The plan for raising an army is be ing considered on the basis of the War Department's universal service bill. Major-General Scott, chief of staff, and army officers generally re gard this as affording the most prac tical means of providing a nucleus for an efficient force and Secretary Baker has indorsed this view. | This plan, the details of which have been withheld from publication, would provide for the raising of approximate ly 600,000 men by calling to the colors all fit citizens of the age of 19, for example. It Is estimated that there are approximately 1,000,000 of this age. Discounting those who would prove physically unfit or for other reasons would be rejected, and also discounting ' those who might be assigned to duty in munition factories, etc., there would | remain, roughly, 500.000 men for the Intensive training which the War De partment would require. By this scale the War Department calculates it could provide another 500.000 men by calling to colors men of the age of 20 and another 500,000 at the age of 21. Thus 1,500,000 men could be called out by confining the event of war and the fleet be kept at some secret mobilization point, ready to strike in any direction in which fighting strength might be needed. Officers who have been urging uni versal service legislation are hopeful that the bill prepared by the General Staff for this purpose would be prompt ly enacted should war come and the organization of the army proceed along the lines it lays down. Details of the bill will not be disclosed until it has been completed and submitted to Sec retary Eaker and Congress. Offer* From Plants Secretary Daniels is understood to have informed the President that a deluge of patriotic offers already had been telegraphed to him from private firms throughout the country offering to make every sacrifice to equip speed ily the navy for any emergency, i Shipbuilders, steel manufacturers, projectile and armor plate concerns all came to the front in a wave of patriot ism to offer the best and quickest ser vice they can provide. Munitions for the Kntente and other European war orders will be held up If the United States regards it more Important for energy to be devoted toward supplies for the United States. E. G.
