Most soapse 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. 1t Is 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

Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, eleanses

with democratic institutions he fixed six
months as the training period.

army of more than 10000 with a system
of universal training not embracing the

for training period was three months,
