Easy Way to Cleanse
The Hair and Scalp

Mature intended every woman should
have wealth Of beautiful hair-hair that
can be arranged into all attractive Golf
fure which accentuatcs her physical
charms" writes Mrs. Mae Martyr, in
the Denver Advocate.
Much depends upon the cleansing bath.
If it be OF an alkali nature, the scalp and
hair follicles suffer injury and the hair
grows dull, brittle and falls out. A sham
poo mixture, made by dissolving one tea
spoonful canthrox in cup hot water,
gently. yet thoroughly, removes every
trace Of dust and dandrff, and so ener-
gizcs the hair roots and delicate tissues that
they become strong and healthy. After
rinsing, the scalp is clean and plant and
the hair is soft, glossy and easy to do up.
Canthrox shampoos not only promote a
healthy condition, but encourage an abun-
dant and silky growth Of hair"
