Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keen your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared Shampoos
contain too much alkalt. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsitied
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much bctter than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for snaGlnooing, as
this can't pos sibly iniure !hc hair.
Simply moistcn your falr with
water and rub it in. Ona or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather. anu clFanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly The lather
rinses out easily and reu1cFes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsifieG oocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap, and q few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months,
