HAMPOO FOR OILY HAIR.

A young woman who has tried all
sorts of remedies to keep the oil out of
her hair says she gets best results by
using a shampoo made from pure olive
oil soap, in which a pinch of soda has
been mixed.
Cut a CAKE of soap into a quart of
boiling water to make thick jelly when
cold. This is bottled and kept for future
use.
Before shampooing take a couple of
spoonfuls of this jelly, mix it with a
pinch of soda-do not get lavish with
the soda, a PINCH is e~nough-and rub it
well into the scalp, which has first been
wet with hot water.
Another way to apply the shampoo
mixture to scalp is to part the hairda
strands and rub it on with a tooth
brush or small nail-brush.
After the scalp and long hair has
been web washed it should be rubbed
vigorously with fnger-tips and thor
oughly rinsed.

For the third exercise maintain the

advantage of helping to make the arms

that dealers often have difficulty in
