The First Glimpse Of

called ship nowadays. and even then
she was perhaps not strictly entitled

THE USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very
sparingly, II at all, II you want
to keep your hair looking IT'S
best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much al
kali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and
ruins 1t. II
The best thing for steady
use is Just ordinary mulsified
cocoanut oil (which il purd
and greaseless), is cheaper and
better than soap or anything
else you can use.
One or two teaspoonful4
will cleanse the hair and scaIIl
thoroughly. Simply moistel1
the hair with water and rub n
in. II makes an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, whic4
rinses out easily, removing eff
cry particle OF dust, dirt, dandF
ruff and excessive OIL. Tho
hair dries quickly and evenly
and 1t leaves the scalp soft,
and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at any pharmacy, and
few ounces will supply every
member OF the family for
months.
