Little Tommie, four years old,

Beautiful Hair Comes
With Dry Shampooing

(F'rom Woman's National Journal)
Dry. shampooing always has been ans
always will be popular with the woman
who takes pride in long, abundant and
glossy hair. The dry shampoo does
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 so a1-around satisfac-
tory, that one wonders why soap and
water, eggs. etc, can find any follow
ers whatever
Dry shampoos 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 a tablespoonful of this
mixture upon the head, brush the pow
der well through the hair; do this two
or three times q week for a while and
see the results for yourself This viii
keep your hair light and fluffy, and
beautifully 1ustrous. 1t corrects the
conditions of the scalp that cause hair
to become streaked, dull, colerless,
