Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Glrls-if you want plenty Of thick.
beautiful. glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid Of dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff Is to dissolve
it. then you destroy it entirely. To do
this get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon: apply it at night when re-
firing: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning most. IL not all. of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop, and your
! air will look and feel hundred times
better. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. no matter
how much dandruff you l.a''e. This
simple remedy never fails.

Use COcOanut Oil
For Washing Hair

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 is
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 it In. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
iather. and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle OF dust
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and j.
leaves it fine and silky, bright, D:ify
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsil.ed cocoanut oil At
most any drug store. It is very cheap.
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
