getting any balder by your wise words.
am annoyed by gray hairs. Do you
know any way to restore the hair?

good oil-will keep it from getting any
grayer. Use just few drops and mas
sage thoroughly into the scalp. Tell
your father not to wet his head too
often. This is why so many men grow
bald early in life. They shampoo too
much.

Old bits of soap dried and pulverized
are best. Put into a bottle. Cover
with hot water. enough to make a pint.
Add a tablespoon of borax powder and
about four drops of weak ammonia,

soap is dissolved.
