Millions more attribute their uc-
cesses and achievements to the wo-
men, who, with unparalleled bravery
and with hearts. full of compassion,
raised them from their knees and
took them "for better or for worse"
And then millions of others, striving
in vain to maintain their neutrality
in the universal controversy, claim
that marriage is a lottery. If the
marriage game is a lottery. one won

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, If
you want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much al6ali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady uso is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and grease;vss). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. II 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.
You can get mulsified cOcoanut oil at
any pharmacy it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
OF the family for mOnths-Adv.
