Why Most Shalnpoos
Ruin the Hair

We quote as follows from the Oak
land Tribune, on Care Of the Hair" by
Mae Martyn: THE reason for the
scant. unattractive tresses Of most
women lies in the persistent use OF
Injurious shampoos. Few realize that
soap shampoos do more harm than
good. The deadly alkali In soap ia
too strong for the hair. causing II ia
poos can only result fatally to the
hair. Dry powders also are bad. az
they clog up the scalp pores and cause
dandruff. ,..-..
"A perfectly safe shampoo is made
by dissolving q teaspoonful of can
throx In a cup OF hot water. This
cleanses perfectly. dries quickly with.
out streaking. and leaves the hair
bright. fluffy, and easy to do up. 1t ID
