COcOanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If YOU want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it 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
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely grcaseless) 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 teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lathcr, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lathcr
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap.
and n few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for MONTHS

calls upon women to be economical in
dress and in their entertainments. to
eschcw the wearing of jewclry in
public. to purchase carefully and less
than before the war was declared and
to avoid every evidence of luxury.
This is the beginning Of n patri-
otic campaign to 'Conomi2e the Ma

we are going to tell other women
what we consider good form and bad

THINK BEFORE BUYING.

stop! Look! Think! before
buying great quantities OF food"
is the watchword Of the econom-
lists. Money, food and necessary
articles will be needed to win the
war. Every waste jeopardizes the
result.
food must he conserved with
the utmost care. Money must be
hush nded. All useful things must
be- preserved from waste the
creed continues.
ITO save is to- fight to be patri
otto. ~, Iii.
ITO waste is to help the enemy,
to be unpatriotic.
Are YOU one or the other? If 20,
are patriotic, if you wish TO help thu
country in the war, you can best shoV
your purpose by reducing your owl
consumption of food to the minimum
by conserving every article that yo'
use and by avoiding every unneccssar
purchase. ...t
