Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful.

Simply moisten your hair with •water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly.

The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. Toe can get mulsified cocoannt oil at most any drug store.

"Got a Cigaret?" King Asks Soldier w York. N. Y.—Bryon Stowe of this city, a warrant machinist In the Naval ir Service, who arrived yesterday on th e Transport Sierra, was at an aerodrome in Germany that had recently been surrendered to the Allies. "A big plane landed near me," he said. "A strapping fellow got out of It H e asked if I could spare a cigar ette. I handed him one. Then he fumbled around, couldn't find a match and asked me for one. I gave it to him. I "He asked. "You're an American, i aren't you? and added that he was a Belgian. While w e stood there chat ! ting aoubt the weather and other ■ commonplace topics, I happened to notice the unusual outlines of his plane. It resembled descriptions I had heard of "Albert's Chariot.' I "I looked over my begrimed and • besmudged acquaintance again and I asked him: 'Say, are yon King Al -1 bert?" "He looked abaetfed a moment, then , grinned and said: 'Yes, I'm -Albert. Why? "And sure enough, It was the Bel gian King. Maybe I'll go back some day and ask him to lend we a cigar ette and a match." BANISH CATARRH Breathe Hyemel for Two Minutes and Relieve Stuffed Up llead !

KREGER TAKES CROWDER PUCE Other General Officers Or dered Back to Ranks in Regular Army WoslUngton, March 7. —Secretary Baker announced that Brigadier General Edward A. Kreger, now in charge of a branch in France of the office of the judge advocate gen eral, had been ordered home to act us judge advocate general during the absence in Cuba of Major Gen eral Enoch H. Crowder. At the same time announcement was made that nearly a score of gen eral officers had been ordered back to their rank in the regular army, among the number being Brigadier General Samuel T. Ansell, formerly acting judge advocate general. With his rank of lieutenant colonel of the regular army, General Ansell has been designated by General Crowder to continue as chairman of the clemency board in the office of the advocate general. Secretary Baker issued this state ment: "Brigadier General Edward A. Kreger has been directed by cable to return to the United, States and in the absence of General Crowder in Cuba, General Kreger as senior officer of the judge advocate corps, will be designated as Acting judge advocate general. "In the ordinary routine of de mobilizing the army a large num ber of officers in various bureaus of the War Department holding tem porary rank have been returned to their regular army status. Briga dier General Ansell is among the number. The action thus taken has no relation to the controversy which has existed with regard to the ad ministration of military justice and clemency. "By direction of the Judge advo cate general, General Ansell will continue to be chairman of the clemency board composed of offi cers of the judge advocate gener al's office reviewing court martial proceedings with a view to recom mending commutation of excessive sentences where found necessary." The Shimmy Tilt Shocks Conservative sas They Were Dismayed a Century Ago No sooner does the prudent public first ban, then endure, then embrace, a questionable ballroom dance than a suc cessor, undoubtly more questlonabl, from th point of view of the conserative, bobs up. and, of course bobs down as well, for recognition. Nobody is discoverable hereabout and nowadays who can be shocked by or who objects to the varlons trots. There is nobody who remarks the difference between the one-step and the two-step, but the shimmy is omething new, dif ferent, at the moment shocking. To call a dancing party a shimmy tilt—such is the vernacular—is, to the mosback concervative to undignify, by a name more or less vaguely suggestive of indecorum, the art of dancing the poetry of motion, the romance of the ballroom, to introduce into polite society the nomenclature of the low life of Cherry street Tet there cannot be the slightest doubt that the progressives readly will accustom themselves to the new name and new dance, and that those who Hold out for the old fashioned, dignified, dul trots, and the archaic tango, recalling the stately minute, will be laughed down and danced down by the progressive, aggressive majority of young persons. In a musty little leather-bound volume gilt-lettered upon the back, "The Lady's Library," published 101 years ago, there appears in a chapter upon amusements suitable for young ladies the following advice: x ' • "In dancing the principal points to attend to are ease and grace. I would have you to dance with spirit: but never allow yourself to be so transported with mirth as to forget the delicacy of your sex. Many a girl dancing in the inno cency of her heart and the gaiety of youth is thought to discover a spirit she little dreams of." The author of the little volume calls young women to the class to which her advice is addressed, "the porcelain city of human kind," comparing them with the rare vases and costly immages which are treasured and protected. But before we view with alarm the tendencies of the times as evidenced by the unrestrained participation of young women in the trots and tangoes of yes terday and their probable participation in the shimmy tilt of tomorrow—c'mlsh is the actual name of the dance. It seems, but to the American tongue "shimmy Is the easier word—let ns look in the book and see that the ten dencies of the times 101 years ago were alarming to those who were easily al armed. Says oar author: "Every one who remembers a few years back Is sensible of the very strik ing change In the attention and respect formely paid by the gentlemen to the ladies; their drawing rooms are deser ted, and after dinner and supper, the the gentlemen are impatient till they retire. How came they to lose this re spect, which nature and politeness so wel entitle them to. I shall not here particularly inquire. I shall only ob serve that the behavier of the ladies In the last age was very reserved and state ly. It would now be reckoned ridlcu ously stiff and formal. Whatever it was It had certainly the effect of making them more respected." Much was written in 1918 very like this paragraph from R time-browned page printed by the Harpers in 1818. Yet despite cabaret and cocktail and turkey trot and shimmy tilt, have mor als or manners of women changed great ly in a century? Let those who would reply hastely, and in the affirmative, turn the brittle leaves of the old books. They will find that the nervenousness of men and wo men about the loss of women's former dilcacy and the increase of her disposi not grave impropriety, was as great in tion toward levity and indecourseness, if the days of our great-grandfathers as it is today.
