PHokoeRAPH AIDS HER GOLF

Take your phonograph along when
you play golf and it may be that you
can play better golf.
If you have been making the
course, perchance. in 100 strokes, you
may be able to reduce your game to,
say eighty strokes, or thereabouts.
Such a demonstration was eminent
ly successful on one of the leading
golf courses in Cleveland recently. 1t
was conducted under the guidance of
Miss Edna Tenlopen, golf expert,
musician, society pet and personal
friend of President Harding.
Miss Tenlopen told about II not
long ago while in Los Angeles. She
was entertaining number of friends
in her home. Also, she had Just pur-
chased a dozen or more new phono-
graph records. Some Of the friends
wanted to go out to the country club
and play golf, and others wanted to
remain and hear the records.
Miss Tenlopen solved the problem
by taking small phonograph to the
golf course and continued to play the
new records while her guests rambled
gayly over the green. And she de-
clares that every one OF them played
the best golf of their lives
Also, if one hasn't a phonograph
handy, one can easily employ a vio-
linist or saxophone operator, Miss
Tenlopen added,-Los Angeles Ex-
press.

Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t

When you wash your child'S hair
be careful what you use. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil shampoo. for this
is pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything
else all to pieces.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of
Mulsified in a cup or glass with
little warm water is all that is re-
quired. Simply moisten the hair
with water. and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich. creamy lath-
er, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing, bright. fluffy. wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust.
dirt and dandruff. You can get
Mulsified at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last everyone in
the family for months. Be sure
your druggist gives you Mulsified.
