Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. 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 Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rmses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
Of dust, dirt and dandruff. ADV.

The only case that l can re-

ted, under the state law, making

in 1906 when IS coal dealers were in

the supreme court reversed the de-

The difficulty in prosecuting I'M
der this law is that it is almost i'm
