Valuable Beauty Aids
for the Heated Term

Tan and freckles can be banished and
the skin kept clear. smooth and radiantly
beautiful right through the summer by
daily applications of a spurmax lotion.
which is prepared at home for small
sum by stirring 9 teaspoonfuls glycerine
into " pint witch hazel (or hot water),
then adding ounces spurmax. This To-
tion is invisible when on and will not
spot nor streak from perspiration. 1t is
especially nice to rub out lines and dispeI
the oily, shiny condition.
Canthrox shampoos are wonderful aids
to keep the hair lovely during summer.
Just dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox in
cup hot water and your shampoo is
ready. This creates a wealth of rich,
white lather that dissolves every atom
of dust. dandruff and excess oil. Rinsing
leaves the scalp and hair Immediately
clean. After canthrox shampoo the
hair dries evenly and quickly, and takes
on a charming luster and sickness.
