COMB SAGE TEA IN

The od-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked

keep their hair a good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as we are living in an
lage when a youthful appearance Is OF
| the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage

SOAP Is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want TO keep
your hair looking its best Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless)
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else You can use.
One or two teaspoonfu,s will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub il in. II makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. which rinses out easily, re-
moving 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. lus-
trous, fluffy and easy to manage
You can get mulsihed cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and few
