tVhi:t it is undoubtedly to their advantage to play the game squarely end not attempt to muddy the waters, still they have failed to get on the right track. All the moves made by Senator Klsner. Democratic floor leader in the senate, to make his points for the minority have fallen flat. On the slightest pretext he Jumps to his feet to raise some quibbling question. His continued horseplay is becoming so monotonious that he can not command the respect or the considerate attention of the senate. In other words he is not taken serious!-, apparently not even by his fellow Democrats. Senator Charles A. Hagerty of Smith Bend, is very much present on the floor at all times, and as usual indulging

Senator Joseph Cravens, the veteran in the assembly from Jefferson county, is given some attention because of his years of service in the legislature, but he is unable to accomplish anything for his party, or to embarrs-ss he majority seriously because of the feeble support that !3 given him by his broti1.

Csucko. who is 40 years old. married and three children, is charged with having forged and mutilated more than $600 worth of 'Illinois Steel company pay checks. He was apprehended after he paid a fruit store owner $12 for a check of the same amount which he intended to alter the amount and raise the check. With white ink, he would blot out the amount or the check, let it dry and With an ordinary rubber stamp he would stamp any amount on the check that he wished, the check then presenting a bonl-flde appearance. He never raised the checks to an amount exceeding $100, it is said.

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in creod condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps snd prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulslfied cocoanut oil shampoo (which Is pure and entirely greajieless). is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, ar.d cleanses the hair and l:alo thoroughly, Tha lather rlns out easily and removes erery particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and xceeslvs oil. The ha'.r dries uulefcly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Muls'.tU-d cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few riunfea is enough to last every one in ths family for months.
