Iron and Steel Men
to Stick by Nation
During War Needs
i By Associated Press
. New York, May 25.—The American
iron and steel fraternUy will be ac
tuated by the highest conception of
patriotic duty with respect to the
war requirements of the government,
_ Elbert H. Gary said here to-day, ad
dressing the American Iron and Steel
Institute, as Its president, at its
twelfth annual meeting.
I "We will," he added, "cheerfully
bear our full share of the load which
must be carried until there is realiz
ed a complete triumph over the hosts
of aggressive desperate and inhuman
autocracy. Personal interests will
yield to the necessities of the country
we love."
Mr. Gary, who is chairman of a
committee on steel and steel prod
ucts which Is co-operating with the
government, declared there was "no
just ground for severe criticism" of
the government's conduct of business
affairs. "Officials in Washington," he
said, "are entitled to credit and praise
for their management under existing
I circumstances." He said he saw a
disposition on the government's part
to co-operate with businessmen.

I Cocoanut Oil Fine
! For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
r wash it with.
' Most soups and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
. the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
II and is very harmful. Just plain mul
'lsiried cocoanut oil (wlikli is pure
'land entirely grcaseless), is much
, better than the most expensive soap
'I or anything else you can use for
| shampooing, as this can't possibly
' I injure the hair.
J Simply moisten your hair with
' ! water and rub it in. One or two
' i teaspoonfuls will make an abund
! ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
! oughly. Tlie lather rinses out easily,
j and removes every particle of dust,
j dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
j hair dries quickly and evenly, and
|it leaves It fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
■ You can get mulsitied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
I last everyone in the family for

"I know I felt stupid, weak and

lin my stomach and abdomen. I
I couldn't sleep than an hour
j or two at a stretch' and I was so
near all in that I couldn't do my
work right."
"Some friends of mine told me to
take Tanlac and I was ready for any
thing so 1 decided to trj it, although
nothing else had done me any good."
"But, believe me, Tanlac isn't liko
other medicines for it put me right
on my feet. Those pains in my stom
ach went away after the third dose
and I began to build right up. My
appetitie came back, my nerves
fiuioted down and X could feel the
strength-running back. Now I sleep
line and get my work done right,
even the boss has noticed it and has
spoken about how well I'm looking
now."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
