Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle and is very
harmful Just plain mulsihed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing. as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich. creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out east
", and removes every particle of dust
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsifed 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

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
GOING BACK TO NATURE.
(BY DIR. ". LUCAS)

People get sick because they go away
from Nature. and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows
out Of the ground in the form of vegeta-
ton to cure almost every i'll Some Of
these vegetable growths are understood
by man. and some are not. Animals. il
would seem. know what to do when they
are sick better than men and women.
Observers have noted that sick horse.
dog or cat will stop eating food and
seek out some vegetable growth in the
field or yard. which. when found and
eaten. often restores appetite and health,
Haven't you seen these animals do this
very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce of Buffalo. n Y, long
since found the herbs and roots provid-
ed by Nature to overcome constipation,
and he had these vegetables collected
and made up of Mayapple. leaves of
Aloe, root of Jaiap. into little white
sugar-coated pills. that he called DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestines
are stopped UP. poisons and decayed
matter are imprisoned in your system.
and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, YOU get dizzy, you can't
sleep. your SKIN may break out, your
appetite declines. YOU get tired and de-
spondent. AS matter Of fact, you may
get sick all over. Don't you see how
useless all this suffering is2 All that is
often needed is a few of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. which he has placed
in all drug stores for your convenience
and health. Try them by all me0ns.
They are probably the very thing you
need right now.-Adv.
