Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very care fully, if you want to keep your hah looking its best. 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 mulsitied cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you tan 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 ev ery 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 member of the family for months.— Adv, Mary Jane Wright's Party on Her Third Birthday All the guests at little Mary Jane Wright's birthday party yesterday agreed that It was the nicest party they ever attended.
