1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very
sparingly. ii at all, II you want
to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp.
makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It,.
The best thing for steady use
is Just ordinary mulsified CO.
ooanut Oil (Which Is pure and
greaseless) J, Is cheaper and bet
ter than soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the
hair with water and rub 1t in.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out
easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves the scalp soft. and the
hair fine and silky. bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy to man

You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at any pharmacy, and a
few ounces will supply every
member OF the family for
months.

A WOMAN'S HAIR AND
THE STORY 1T TELLS

Somebody has said that a wom-
ans teeth are milestones indicat-
ing her age, but a far more I'm
portant feature indicative of
years is the hair. Many a woman
has kept her youthful appearance
long past middle life because of
proper care of the hair, and in
this care the first considerations
are absolute cleanliness and a
choice Of the right shampoo. 1t
Is not advisable to use cleanser
made for all purposes, but rather
always use preparation made
for shampooing only. You can
enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by
getting a package of Canthrox
from your druggist. Dissolve a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water
and your shampoo is ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will
be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than It is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.
