Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. which
Is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The hest thing TO use is Mulsiiicd
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get Mulsified
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 tcaspoonful
is all that Is required. 1t makes an
abundance. of rich, creamy lather,
oleanses thoroughly. and nnses out
easily. Tho hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking
bright, fluffy, wayy and easy to
handle. Besides, Il loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff. BE sure your drug
glst gives YOU Mulsified. ADV.

some countries It has long been the

movement to spread it in this country.
In pamphlet urging all to light the
'Christ-candle" on Christmas eve he
says:
"The Irish will tell you that tho
Christ-candle was always lighted in
their homes in the Emerald Isle as it
has been for years and years in Nor
way and Sweden. Boston has had It
for decade. In Rochester 1916 was
our third celebration-the first year a
few houses shone-the second over a
thousand-the third nearly every one
and 1t has spread to town, village and
country over a 40-mile radius Many
far-away homes, Wisconsin, Maine,
California, Florida, kindled their can
dies from ours, and when you have
lighted yours you will appreciate
why" ...... .as... m.5
