Cocoanut Oil Makes a Splendid Shampoo If you -want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit tle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much bet ter than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham i poolng, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves It line and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. Jt is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the family for months. !| Special To-morrow jj Caramels ;! Chocolate Covered ! || 25c lb. || Chocolate |: Marshmallow Roll 30c lb.
