Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much allsali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sihed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonfu1 is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy 1ather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle Besides, it loosens and

Dispatches from Santiago today de-

hostile to Chile. The newspaper de-
