Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want 10 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 it.
The best thing Cor steady use Is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and grea selsSs). and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of Mulsi-
fed 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 lather
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle OF dust, dirt, dan
druff and excess oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. ard 1t leaves the
scalp soft, and the hoir fine and silky,
bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy 10
manage.
You can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, It's very
cheap, and a few ounces viii supply
every member OF the family for
months. BE sure your druggist gives
