WHEN THE HAIR IS OILY.
White CASTLE or Tar Soap the Best for
the Shampoo.

For oily hair white CASTLE soap and
tar soap are good shampoos. but the
green surgeons soap. which is so
much sold and used nowadays. is rath-
er too strong for ordinary hair. and
should be diluted before using. If you
wish to make a shampoo which you
can keep on hand you can boil some
CASTLE soap by shaving it down and
boiling 1t to jelly. which you can
keep and use as you need it. For a
heavy head of hair about an ounce
of this jelly is enough for shampoo,
and for less heavy hair half ounce
is sufficient.
The application of tonic to the hair
is always good thing if some reliable
authority is consulted as to the best
one to use, but too much tonic is bad
for the hair, and as result it should be
applied not oftener than once a week
unless the hair is falling out. The
present fashion of roughing UP and
putting the hair is very apt to split it.

Yes, sir" the old man added after

good sense Of humor and has stored
