T, II. CITY HALL GETS CLEANING

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 10. Mayor Charles R. Hunter began hii prograin, of conservation by eliminating the. office of assistant superintendent of Highland Lawn cemetery. Therefore. James "Rogers, who had been appointed to the position, lost his job. Mayor . Hunter said Wiley Greenleaf, the superintendent, could perform the labors of the other office. Mayor Hunter said the plum tree needs more pruning and indicated he would endeavor to eliminate other useless offices in the administration, v Brooms, mops and vacuum cleaners were busy on the city hall this week. Jack Beattie, new chief of police, got rid of a large whisky sign, a rattlesnake skin, two old storage batteries and an antique gun of uncertain origin that was found in his office. William J. Shepherd, new city controller, among other things destroyed a large lithograph of "The Distinguished Hoosier, Donn M. Roberts, For Governor." Archives of the city hall yielded curious odds and ends, representing accumulation of years by the Roberts administration. Mayor Hunter said he wished the city hall to look like a business' establishment, not a museum of antiquities. No cleaning up was necessary in the city engineer's office. Search of several hours failed to disclose anything that would be of value to the Incoming engineers. New sets of instruments must be bought before this division of the city can do any work.

Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it Is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoooful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv. Shoe Store Shoe Dealers. 7 STORES
