cided on by the attorney general 1t

Careless Use Of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
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 mulsifed cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless). and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything 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. dandruif 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 mulsitied cOcoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap.
and a few ounces will supply every
member Of the family for months.
