IT RUINS HAIR TO
WASH TT WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparing-
,ly, if at all, if 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 cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless). is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls win
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage: :.

macy, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
