Careless Washing
Spoils Children's Hair

Any child can have beautiful hair
healthy and luxuriant. 1t is sim
ply a matter of shampooing.
Proper shampooing makes the
hair soft and silky. It brings out
all the real life and lustre, all the
natural wave and color, and leaves
it fresh looking, glossy and bright.
While children's hair must have
frequent and regular washing to
keep it beautiful, fine young hair
and tender scalps cannot stand the
harsh effect of ordinary soaps. The
free alkali in ordinary soaps soon
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie and ruins it.
That is why thoughtful mothers
everywhere, now use Mulsifed Co.

pure and entirely greaseless product
brings out all the real beauty Of the
hair and cannot possibly injure.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
