Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

If you want TO keep your hair in good
condition. be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsihed e%ocoanu
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less). is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else YOU can
use for shampooins. as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub IL in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich. creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The later rinses out easily
and removes every particle Of dust. dirt

dries quickly and evenly, and il leaves

You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
