Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair


Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsiied %cocoanut oil, for. it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few unc will last the whole
family for months.

all that is required. 1t makes an

DICK AND BILLY OTTER MAKE GOOD CLOWNS.

While everybody held their breath,
at the Otter Toboggan Slide, Father
Otter threw himself on his stomach.
folding his front legs out behind, and
then gave himself a mighty push with
his hind legs, and away he dashed
down the slide. head first, as straight
as an arrow.
When he reached the bottom, he
slid under water in an, elegant dive,
some distance out in the Pond.
Mother Otter, then "Looped the Loop"
and she also went down the famous
Toboggan Slide, head first, sliding like
chain lightning, and her fur bonnet
and fur cape looked 80 pretty as she
shot under water like a pickerel.
Next, Dick Otter made his grace
full plunge down the shining slip
perry chute and glided into the water
like a bullet. And then came the
turn of Billy Otter, and he too Gov
applause of all the excited spectators.
After this, all the Offers took turns
in sliding, inc Father Otter called
out to his big family;
Don't any of you youngsters dare
to walk on that Slide, when you go
up the hill to take your turn. Every
one must walk UP on either n side
or the OCner, SO tnaC we can keep
this Toboggan Slide as smooth and
polished as glass;" ~
And it was great fun to see the
Offers take their turns. all running
and putting to get to the top Of the
hill . o as to be ready to take their
turns. There was nc quarreling or
bad words; each gave the others
their turns. and all laughed and en-:
joyed the sport hugely, especially
Father and Mother Otter.
You see, Fathe.: and Mother Otter
never forgot to play with their
youngsters. and this keeps them al
ways young.
1t was certainly wonderful, and
! also funny to see the Otter family
shooting the Chute, hour after hour
all laughing and having lots Of fun
and they dropped into the deep poo
at the bottom of the Slide, like drop:
of rain from a water spout on the
roof of your house. Il.

Slide. They would e slide down OF
