Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alllali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocOanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every paSticle OF dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky. bright. lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsfied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
"A few ounces will supply every MEM
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

Helena. June Capitalization of an

upon by the state livestock commits

once and it is hoped to issue the
volume in a 5000 copy edition some
time in the fall.
Strange as it may seem. no official

the state.
More than 10000 brands are on rec
ord in the office of the livestock COM

being received concerning estrays.
Publication of this book will enable
persons readily to establish the own
ership Of such animals and will also
