Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
It you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful whati
you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham-|
poos contain too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes thej
' hair brittle and is very harmful.
1 Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo j
(which is pure and entirely'
greaseic-ss) is much better than
anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this cannot pos
sibly injure the hair.
; Simply moisten your hair with
1 water and rub it in. Two or i
three teaspoonfuls will make an'
abundance of rich, creamy lather i
and cleanse the hair and scalp \
| thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily and removes every k i~*.iole
of dust. dirt, dandruff and neess
oil. The hair dries quickly and
• evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, (lulTy. wavy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsilied cocoanut
. oil shampoo at any drug store. It j
is inexpensive, and a few ounces
■will last every one in the family
for months.—Adv, nisenieiit.

CHICAGO, April 1. —Unwilling-

For several years the trade has
been growing to proportions that
have annoyed and embarrassed rail
road officials. Many of the sharps
are known to the train crews. In
such cases, drawing rooms, and some
times even passage, are denied to
them. But when there is merely

BEAUTIFUL teeth are your priceless gift

—that’s the old stone age way.
Colgate’s Ribbon Dental Cream is a safe,
modem dentrifrice that keeps teeth beautiful.
It contains no grit or other harsh ingredients.
N>v ■ The non-gritty chalk in Colgate’s loosens
1 clinging food particles that might ferment
and cause decay. Its mild vegetable-oil soap
gently washes these particles away, leaving
the mouth clean, refreshed and in its normal

Colgate’s is not medicated, for a dentifrice
should be a cleanser not a “cure all.” Your
Dentist, not your dentifrice, should treat un

Use Colgate’s regularly. It is a health

"The railroad game is far better
