Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much 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. Sim ply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing evory particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive 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 at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months.

The remainder of the , lighting force is composed of 143,704 militia, from every State in the coun try except Nevada, which has no or ganized militia. These National Guardsmen, or militiamen, however, i are not the same men of eight or nine ! months ago. They are a far more ef- I flcient body of men than National Guardsmen ever were before. There is still a considerable num- I ber of them in the Federal service on 1 the Border, while the others have only recently returned from a six to eight months' stay as part of Uncle Sam's armed forces, during which | time they were intensively drilled, : coached, hardened, innured, and have ! learned soldiering by practical, rather than by theoretical, methods. So that to-day these National Guardsmen are only a shade below the regular sol diers in efficiency as real lighting ;men, ready and able to care for them j selves in the hard school of war. | The strength of the National Guard ,in Federal service September 30 and still available by States is: [Alabama 4,604 Arizona 863 {Arkansas 1,229 California 3,592 (Colorado ... 94 3 Connecticut 2,921 'Delaware 575 j District of Columbia 2,123 (Florida 1,225 (Georgia 3,918 Idaho 1,178 Illinois 8,497 Indiana 3,182 New Hampshire 1,413 New Jersey 4,135 !New Mexico 9 57 .New York 17,852 'North Carolina 1,309 North Dakota 993 !

Federalizing the National Guard, it is now posible for the President of the United States to order the entire National Guard out for national serv ice without any appeal to the Gover nors of the respective States, as was the case heretofore. Under this new defense act. all Na tional Guardsmen have taken a dual oath that they will "bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America and to the State of , and that they will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their ene mies whosover, and that they will obey the orders of the President of the United States and of the Governor of the State of , according to the Articles of War." According to army officers, of this 254,826 officers and men that the j United States can muster for service | immediately, 111,122 officers and men in the regular army would constitute the troops of the first line, perhaps for invasion to fill out the armies of the allies on the eastern front in France. A part of the National Guard would probably be called to defend the Bor der from raiding expeditions by Mex ] ican bandits, during which it would |go into extensive training so as to be I ready to take the field with the regu | lars, as soon as other newly-organized I troops could take their places. 8,000,000 Fighting Men It is estimated that there are 8,000,- 000 men of fighting age in the United : States, but military experts declare j that it would take from six months |to a year to whip the first draft of these green men into shape that they | would be of any use on the firing line. | Soldiers are not made in a week or a i month, and the hardening process, even aftei\ a man is drilled and profi j cient, takes months. England was a I year in getting her green troops into ! shape before they were ready to meet jthe Germans. The French, because of their conscription and because their men were trained, were able to take the field almost at once. Of the nearly 14,000 Pennsylvania troops, all have returned from the Border except the Thirteenth Infantry, jthe Third Artillery, formerly the Ninth Infantry: the Eighth Infantry and the j Second Field Artillery and the Sixth jlnfantry, the last three of which have been ordered home and are expected Ito arrive within a week or ten days, i unless orders countermanding the homeward order are received. The National Guard of Pennsylvania is composed of nine regiments of In fantry, one regiment of cavalry, three regiments of artillery, hospital and ambulance companies, radio and sig nal companies, engineer companies and other units. It is well drilled, well equipped and is rated exceptionally high as a militia organization.
