Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much atkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly inji1re the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves il
fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor.
