Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair look ing its best. Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much I alkali. This dries the scalp, maken the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsifled 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 thor oughly. Simply moisten the hair with watar and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the lialr fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You con get mulsiflefl cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months.

General March will not receive additional rank at this time. Con gress has authorized only two ap pointments in the general grade, one to be the chief of staff and the oth er the commander-in-chief of Amer ican forces in France, and the con tinuation of General Bliss in the former office while he is serving on the allied war council will prevent the promotion of General March.
