Chatterer's tongue was still now. He

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
! and prepared shampoo.5 contain
too much aIkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use
is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls of Null
sified will cleanse the hair and
scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten
| the hair with water and rub it in.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle OF
dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The 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 Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap. and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
| for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-Advertise
