Hair Often Ruined
BY Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins il.
The best thing for steady use is
AIuisified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and Ereaseless). and is better
than anything else YOU can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls OF Mulsi-
fled in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient TO cleanse the
HAIR and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in 1t makes an abundance Of rich
creamy lathcr. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle OF dust, dirt.
dandruff and excess 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 NIuIslfied 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 NIulsified.-Adv-
