Alkali in Shampoos
 Bad For Washing Hair

Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free slksli. which is very injurious as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing 10 use is Mulsihed cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and entirely gresseiess. It is inexpen- sive and beats anything else all to pieces. You csn get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Two or three tesspoonfuis is all that is required. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy father, which cieanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft. fresh looking. fuf- fy. vavy and easy to manage. Besides, 1t Ioosens and takes out every particle of dust dirt and dandruf.
