Alkali In Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully fl you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo (which IS pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. SimpIv moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather, which rinses out cas- fly, removing every particle of dust. dirt dandruff and excessive oil. TEe hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few oEnces will supply every member of the family for months Be sure your druggist gives you Mul-
