Soap Is Bad
for tha Hair
Soap should be used very sparingly,
If at all. If you want to keep your hair
looking Its best Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, make tha hair brit
tle, and ruins It
The best thing for steady uee Is Just
ordinary mulslfled cocoanut oil (which
la pure and greaseless), and Is better
than soap or anything else you ean use.
One or two tesapoonfula will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub It
In. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, whloh rlnaea out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. Tha hair
dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
msnsge.
Tou can gat mulslfled cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, It's very chsap and a few
ounces will supply every member of tha
family for months Advertisement.

To Discard Frecklts,
Tan, PimpUs, Wrinkles
The use of creams containing animal
substance sometimes causes hair to grow.
You run no risk of acquiring superfluous
hair when you use ordinary mereollaed
wax. There Is nothing better for a dis
colored skin, as ths wsx actually absorbs
the offensive cuticle. Ths latter la natur
ally replaced by a dear, smooth, healthy
complexion, full of life and expression.
It's the sensible way to discard a freckled,
tanned, over-red. blotchy or pimpled skin.
Get an ounce of mereollaed wax at any
druggist's and apply nightly like cold
cream, erasing In ths morning with soap
snd water. It takea a week or so to com
plets the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle remover Is made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered aaxollte
In a half Dint witch nasal. Bathing the
face in tha solution brings almost In
stantaneous results.-Advertlssment.
