Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, if
ycu want to keep your hair looklffg Its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the soalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins It
The best thing for steady us Is Just
ordinary muleifted cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greasel.ss), and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
it- 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 oukklr and evenlr. nnrt it 1acv.
the scalp soft aid the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy
to marage.
Tou can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounce will supply every member
of the family for months. Adv.

noted musician, who has Just arrived
In El Paso especially for this pur

ment, costing $11,000.00 Installed, Is
by far the most costly and tho
most powerful organ ever brought
o oi j-aso or me southwest
J.111B instrument is in reality a huge
pipe organ In conjunction with a larre
symphony orchestra, and It Is all oper- j
ated by one single musician. The
Player, seated beforo the console, which
Is 40 feet distant from the main instru
ment (being connected with an electric
cable), produces the effects that are in
every way the equivalent of a magnifi
cent orchestra of 30 musicians. The
single musician at the keyboard, who
produces all; Is greater than a Sousa,
for ho can do what Sousa cannot
Sousa has to depend upon a regiment
of men, each with his own peculiarities,
while Mr. Parks Is never perplexed, as
he has the absolute control of the pipe
organ and each of the 30 musicians all
himself, giving the most marvelous re
sponso for every possible shading of
tone he desires to evoke.

ITS BILL: , IS BELIEF
Chamberlain Blames Con
gress for Faulty Equip
ment of the Army.
Washington. D. C, March 29. The
army bill was brought into the senate
today and debated before a crowded
chamber which listened attentively
Chairman Chamberlain of the military
committee, gae a detailed explanation
of the senate measure and Its purpose
and told why the committee had de
cided to substitute its own bill for
the one already passed by the house
rather than attempt to reconcile dif
ferences. The senate bill was drawn, senator
unamueriani explained, after a thor-
i . "i. I.... - "u "i , ":,
I pia8nlsiheS?aVb.iir"LrGarr?r1soatb?,,i
and the Chamberlain bllL
"There are no differences between
the secretary of war and the two mili
tary committees of congress, so serious
that they cannot easily be settled in
conference," he said. "TJie bill as fin
ally Introduced was framed without
partlson or political purpose. It was
the embodiment of the best In all the
army bills."
Faiors Compulsory Training.
With compulsory training not com
pulsory service he declared the coun
try, after five years, could absolutely
do away 'with its standing army ex
cept such as was necessary for police
duty. The country, however, he said,
was not ready for compulsory training.
and voluntary training in institutions
of learning was as far as the bill had
gone.
Senator Chamberlain-blamed congress
for faulty equipment in the' army, for
airplanes that would not fly and guns
that would not shoot
Aviation Service Is Weak.
'The aviation service is notoriously
weak," he said. "It Is not tHe fault of
the army nor of the aviation corps, but
It Is the fault of congress that refuses
to appropriate money to provide proper
equipment
"Still, in the discussion later on the
floor of this senate, you will find dis
tinguished senators protesting against
the appropriations and arguing that the
people's money must not be spent for
war. And the voice of the pacifist la
heard in the land protesting that no
money must be spent They say we
will never have any more war. I can
onlv hotw not. but no man can tell what
may happen in 24 hours. Who could
Predict the blowing up or the Maine or
the Spanish-American war?"
What the Cost Would Be.
The cost of the national guard under
the bill would be $46,000,000 the first
year; JGO.000.000 the second; $40,000,000
the third: $45,000,000 the fourth and
about $40,000,000 annually thereafter.
The total cost of all forces under tho
bill would be $197,896,000 the first year,
ranging up to $260,000,000 the fourth
year, $250,000,000 the fifth year and
$716,250,000 annually thereafter.
