Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo
A health note advises using pure cocoanut oil as a shampoo instead of soaps or prepared products. It argues traditional shampoos add alkali that dry the scalp and brittle hair, while pure malified cocoanut oil produces rich lather with one to two teaspoons and cleanses dust dandruff and excess oil, leaving hair silky and easy to manage. It recommends purchasing from drug stores as a cheap, long lasting option.

Trucks Prove Value in Hauling Garbage
The two experimental garbage trucks, placed in service Thursday, are expected to save about $3000 annually and replace twelve wagons. Mayor Bell and Commissioner Lambert plan to use motor trucks citywide, saving near $12,000 yearly. Trucks leave at 8 a m with three trailers to cover routes, urging households to place cans out front for no delays. Unloading devices and end-gate trailers improve efficiency, with future incineration hoped to add more gains. An Ohio inventor also devised an automatic signal system using colored lights to guide crane movements.
