Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair

Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free aIkali,
| which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
| tie.
| The best thing to use is Mulsi-
! fed cocoanut oil shampoo, for this
is pure and entirely greaseless.
1t is inexpensive and beats any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
! family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is all
that is required. Simply moisten
your hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of
i! rich creamy lather. which cleases

The hair dries quickly and evenly,
