DON'T SPOIL YOUR HAIR
BY WASHING 1T

X \ X X X X X X X X X X Il
When YOU wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious, as It dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle,
The best thing to use Is Mulsifled
.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 a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t In, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required, It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily, The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy. wavy and easy to han
die. Besides Il loosens and takes out

Defeat in First Game
Sumter High School Loses
Football Game to Camden

The Sumter High school football
team lost its first game of the season
to the Camden High school yesterday
afternoon in Camden. The score was
TO 0. The game was a poor exhi-
bitiOn OF playing, both sides lacking
the push and vim which constitutes
good ball. Burns inability to punt
at very critical turn of the game
probably lost the chances of the game
for the Gamecocks.
The S. H. S. boys announce a re-
turn game with Camden on next Fri
day and they promise tc give the
visitors just what is coming to them
