Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash il with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkah. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie. and is very harmful Just plain
mulsified cocOanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely 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 wa
ter and rub it in. one or two tea
spOonfUls will make an abundance
of rich. creamy latner, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinSes out easily and removes
every particle Of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and IL leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months. Adv.

Lewis was credited with winning
seven rounds. Britton had a shade in
five rounds and the others were even.
Referee Bauman's decision was not

that the champions strong finish and
