Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which is very Injurious, as
It dries the scalp and makes The hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsinod cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless It8
very cheap. and beats the most cx-
pensivo soaps or anything else all 70
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store and a few ounces Will
last the whole family for months
Simply molsten the hair with water
and rub II in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. II makes an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather

Why Society Women
Wash Their Own Hair

They do. not because il is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable TO use a preparation made
for shampoOing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
OF about three cents a shampoo by
getting SOME canthrox from your
druggist, and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup OF hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply 10
all the hair instead of just the tor
OF the head. as with most prepare
lions. Dandruif, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair viii
be so fluffy that il will look mucf
heavier than IL is. Its lustre an,
softness will also delight you.

ANTI-CIGARETTE SUNDAY

First Big Land Battle of the year next Sunday. Why have the Sunday schools taken up this work? Because science has proven that nicotine has been found guilty of contamnating our American life.
 The people of these United States spend billion and a half dollars a year for tobacco-twice as much as for bread; three times as much as for education; five times as much as for christianity. This money would buy all our boots and shoes and dry goods, and pay all the expenses of the army and navy in times of peace. We spend $50.00 a second for to- bacco.
 "Why spend ye your money for that which is not read, and for that which satisfieth not "
 No wonder many physicians declare that the nervous system of the people is crumbling because saturated with alcohol and nicotine.
 Let the Sunday schools of Prescott do their duty along this line.
