Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
II 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 mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), 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. 1t 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
4 few ounces will supply every mem
Der OF the family for months.

takes on some sinister significance in

one thing that adds more to mans
