Don't Spoil Your Hair
BY Washing I

When you wash your hair, be care
full what o use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious. al it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsiaed
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get Mulsifed at any
drug store. and a 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
abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and riises out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking.
bright, fuzzy. wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, 1t loosens and takes
out every particle of dust. dirt and
dandruff Be sure Q u druggist gives
