ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, II you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified coooanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless) ,
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t In. It
makes an abundance OF rIoh.
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily. removing every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and IL leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and q few ounces will sup
ply every member Of the family
for months. adv,

Her hand is long, her fingers
tapering, and yet SO nicely padded
that there are observable depres-
sions resembling a soft shadow
or the ghost of a dimple over the
articulations Of the fingers.
Her nails are always we'll kept
and show at their rosy base the
white half moon.
Many hand beauty mistakes are
made in washing the hands too
often, using hard soap, cold water
and inadequate drying. Once a
day your hands should be washed
with a flesh brush, plenty of pure
CASTLE soap and hot water, rinsed
carefully and rubbed dry.
At this time manicure your
nails. If your hands crack or
wrinkle easily, give them a hot
olive oil bath once a week and
sleep that night with gloves on.
When your hands become soiled
during the day. wash them lightly
and afterward rub them with
plenty of cold cream. The reason
hands age before the face is be-
cause all the natural oil Is washed
out by frequent additions and no
other kind is supplied.
Don't let your hands get sun
burned If you can help it. The
texture of the skin will never be
as fine after severe case of sun
burn.
