Beautiful Hair Comes
With Dry Shampooing
(From Woman's National Journal.)

Dry shampooing always has been and
always will be popular with the woman
who takes pride in long. abundant and
glossy hair. The dry shampoo docs away
with so much Of the inconvenience and
bother accompanying washing the hair
eliminates the long drying hours and
abolishes the danger Of catching cold
indeed, is 90 all-ar0und satisfactory. that
one wonders why soap and water. eggs.
etc.. can find any followers whatever.
Dry shsmpoos certainly stimulate the
growth Of hair. There can be no doubt
as TO that. Just mix four ounces Of
powdered orris root with four ounces Of
therox. sprinkle q tablespoonful Of this
mixture upon the head. brush the powder
well through the hair; do this two or
three times a week for q while and see
the results for yourself. This will keep
your hair light and fluffy. and beautifully
lustrous. 1t corrects the conditions Of the
scalp that cause hair to become strcsked,
dull. colorless, coarse and brittle.
