injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified CO.

and entirely greaseiess. 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 teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abun-
dance of rich creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily The
hair dries quickly and evenly and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, Wa :
and easy to handle. Besides it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
