ACHES AND PAINS
Don't neglect a pain anywhere, but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. A pain in the kidney re
gions may put you on your back to
morrow. Don't blame the weather for
swollen feet, it may be an advanced
warning to Bright's Disease. A pain
In the stomach may be the tirst symp
tom of appendicitis. A creak in a Joint
may be the forerunner of rheumatism.
Chronic headaches more than likely
warn you of serious stomach trouble.
The best way is to keep in good con
dition day In and day out by regularly
taking GOLD MEDAL HAARLEM OIL
Capsules. Sold by reliable druggists.
In boxes, three sizes. Money refunded
If they do not help you. Beware of
substitutes. The only pure imported
Haarelm Oil Capsules are the GOLD

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing Its beat. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
Just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber ot the family for months.
