Cause of Badness.

Darjruff is the direct cause Of near
ly every case of badness, and is also
the principal cause of many other all
ments of the hair and scalp. The one
thing needed above all other things to
overcome dandruff and give the hair
the gloss of health is cleanliness. You
have got tc clean the scalp of scales
and dandrufi, and you have got to
keep the pores Of your scalp open be-
fore You can hope to have beautiful
HAIR. From the seba ceous glands on
YOUR head there constantly comes an
oily secretion to moistcn the scalp and
give gloss to the hair. Floating in
the air are millions of fine particles of
lust, dirt and disease germs. These
settle upon the head, mix with the oily
secretion, and in a very short time
dandruff and scales are formed. These
scales stop up the pores, so that the
hair roots are not nourished as they
should be. And then the nair becomes
sick. dies and falls out. Some people
allow all this dirt and disease and filth
to accumulate on their heads for weeks
without washing the scalp and hair.
Everybody's head and hair ought to
which is above suspicion and above
be washed at least once a week, no
matter what anybody else tells you.
But don't make the mistake of using
common soaps and shampoos. Com
mon soaps contain too much alkali.
They leave the hair dry and harsh.
Improper soaps and shampoos actually
do more harm than good. You should
use the one thing in all this world
which is above suspicion and above
criticism, and that is Birt's Head
Wash, the new scientific preparation.
It is ,rmade of Refined Soap, Cochin
CocoanutI Oil. White of Eggs Glycer-
inc and tSalicylic. Acid. Ask your dot
tor about it. Price, so cents. 7iar ':is
