Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use: Most soaps and prepar- ed shampoos contain too much aikali, which is worry injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to. use is just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil for this is pure and entirely grea seless. It's very cheap, and beats the most eXpen siVe soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and q. few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. about teaspoonful is all that is required, It makes an abundance of rich, creamy latfer cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy- and easy to han dle. Besides. 1t Sloosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dand- ruff.
