Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash if
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocosnut oil (Which is pure and entire
ly greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich,
creamy lathor, and. cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rims
es out easily and removes every par
ticle Of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves it fine and silky,
bright. fluffy and easy TO manage.
You car get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months
