When Your Hair
Is Dull and Dusty
{ From the Montreal TribUne)

Washing the head requires time,
exposes one TO catching cold, and
when all is done it is a question if
you have helped the appearance Of
your hair. Too much moisture in
lures the hair.
"On the other hand. dry sham
poo requires only p few minutes
The powder is sprinkled on the head
then brushed thoroughly through
hair That is all there is to it. 1t
takes out all the dust, oil and dan
druff and leaves the scalp rested
cool and refreshed.
The best dry shampoo powder is
{ mixture of four ounces Of or-is
roo; with four ounces of ther1x.
Therox is natural hair grower and
makes the hair glossy. brilliant and
fluffy. Use this dry shampoo once
a week, and if your hair is inclined
to be harsh. dry or faded it soon will
become soft, lustrous and silky"
