Hair Often Ruined by
Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully.
II you want to keep your hair looking
It's 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 mulsif1ed cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfrls r!il cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten ...4e nair with water and rub It
Al. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive Oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it 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 a
few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.

Just as soon as the crop has matured
and no chances should be taken. The
seed and the crop are too valuable to
take chances"
