Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash il with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy Iather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle OF dust, dirt, dandruf1 and exc
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and Il leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
| is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.-Advertisem

TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK

Youfcan enjoy a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
.trifiing cost, if you get from your
druggists a package of canthrox and
dissolve teaspoonful in cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid-enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead Of
Just the top of the head. Your sham
poo is now ready. Just pour little
at time on the scalp and hair until
both are entirely covered by the daint-
lily perfumed preparation that thor
oughly dissolves and removes every
bit of dandruff. excess oil and dirt.
After rinsing. the hair dries quickly
with a fluffiness that makes it seem
heavier than it is. and takes on a rich
mster and a softness that makes ar
-anging it pleasure.-Adv.

Tightens Her Skin
Loses Her Wrinkles

rid of my wrinkles" writes Luella Marsh.
"While in London friend, much envied
because Of her youthful looks, gave me
formula for a homemade preparation
ing the skin, thus smoothing out wrinkles
and burrows.
The principal ingredient is powdered
saxolite, which can be had at drug stores
here. An ounce of saxolite is dissolved in
n half pint witch hazel After bathing my
face in this but once the Transformation
was so marvellous 1 looked years younger
Even the deep crows feet were affected,
and the annoying creases about my neck.
1t seems difficult to believe anything
could produce such results. Several to
whom l recommended the recipe have
been similarly helped, one an elderly lady
whose cheeks had become quite baggy."-
