Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II 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 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 moiston your hair with
water and rub II in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. Tho lath.
er rinses out easily and removes
every particle OF dust, dirt. dandruff,
and excessive oil. Tho hair dries
quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t
fine and silky, bright, fluffy. and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is. very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last every one in the family for
months.-Advt.
