ALKALI MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR
: Y y \ = y y = x 4 4 4 4 y.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
INJURIOUS, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified eocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teasuoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, eleanses 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
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.
