Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. which is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain r1iul- sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any thing else ali to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces w-ill last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water aad rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all that i5 required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle Besides, it loosens and :akcs out every particle Of dust, dirt and iandruff.
