COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie. and Is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless). is much
better than soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich. creamy lather. and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust, dirt. dand-
ruff. and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves 1t fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces Is enough
to last everyone in the family for

tails OF the West report were permitted
to become public. When asked whether
he had recommended to the PRESIDENT

concentrations contenting himself with a
complete review of the conditions ns ne

light on the personalities Of the various
factional leaders.
1t Is reported that West told the Fres-
ident that he had failed to find single
man among the Mexican leaders who
could command the support OF the peo-
pie Of Mexico. All had either directly
participated in looting and pillaging or
had Sanctioned practices by their ieu-
tenants that had caused the people gem
orally to consider them as oppressors.
