Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want TO keep your hair In
good condition. be careful what
you wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), Ia
much better than the most ex-
pensive 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 II In. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich. creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves It fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and few ounces Is
enough to last every one In the
family for months.-Advertise-
