Use Cocoanut Oh;
For Washing Hair
II you want to keep your hair in good

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and liz
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which Is pure and entirely
greaseless). Is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich. creamy
lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
fly, and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandrun and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You con get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Cincinnati. o., April 24.-Mike Reg
an and Roy Sanders, pitching recruits
with tho Cincinnati Reds this season,
may earn the chance to work as hard
and frequently in the National league
as they did last summer in the Ameri-
car association. Manager Mathewson
believes hat they have enough class
to make them worthy of q big league
berth. Both Regan and Sanders pitch
ed for Kansas City last summer.
If Regan and Sanders make the
grade with the Reds they will not be
the only association twirlers to land
in the big show this spring. Jimmy
Middleton. who starred for the Louis
vile Colonies last season. is sure Of q
job with the New York Giants. Mid
dleton won twenty-one games for

Regain won twenty-five for Kansas
City and Roy Sanders won twenty.
Middleton's record is better than eth
err Regan's or Sanders, however, as
he lost only nine Of his games. while
Regan lost seventeen and Sanders
eighteen. Both Regain and Sanders
were worked harder than Middleton
