Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alka!i. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and is
very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure, the hair.
Simply mosten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The later rinses out east
ly, and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil The
hair" dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves it fine and sulky bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and few ounces Is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months. adv

.QU|T MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER

Troubles You.
No man or woman who eats meat reg-

No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a WELL
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or II the
urine Is cloudy, offensive, full Of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scaldtng, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful In glass OF water before
breakfast and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lthia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. adv.
