or mixtures are discontinued there can
be no relief. A very fine shampoo mix
ture can be made by diSsolving a tea
spoonful canthrox in a cup of hot
water. This should be poured on the
head slowly and rubbed up well and it
will create an abundance of white,
creamy lather.
After a canthrox shampoo the hair
dries evenly and quickly. while the
scalp is left clean, plant and healthy.
It is not necessary to shampoo every
week when canthrox is employed. be-
cause its effects are quick and lasting
Continued using canthrox insures a
clean, healthy scalp and an abundance
of rich, glossy, attractive hair easy to
do up and Of an evenness in color"

A Skin Tightener
to Reduce Wrinkles
lFrom PopuIar MedIelne.l

In beauty culture. as in the treat

DAYS is to seek the removal of causes.
rather than to treat symptoms or eff
fects. In the matter of wrinkles. for
instance, We know that the lines or
burrows are caused by the skin be-
coming loose in places, so it does not
perfectly fit the flesh beneath The
skin then wrinkles" or says. Natur-
ally the proper thing to do is to tight
en- the slxin-make it fit then there's
no room for lines. wrinkles and folds,
and no surplus skin to sag or bag
The best known formula for the
purpose is Saxolite. 1 o., in = pint
Witchhaze1. Use as a wash lotion The
effect is truly remarkable. especially
as results are immediate. Ask the
druggist for the powdered sazolite,
which dissolves more quickly than any
ether form.

How to Get Rid
Of Hair Not Wanted
CBeauty Culture.)

It is a simple matter to rid the
skins surface of hair not wanted if
delatone is used. Enough paste to
cover the surface is made with della
tone and water, and this is left on the
skin two or three minutes. then rub
bed off and the skin washed carefully
The pleasing part of this is that the
use of delatone is quite harmless as
we'll as painless and once delatone is
used it rarely happens that the hairy
growth returns. Even though della
tone costs dollar an ounce the price
is more than justified by the results
following. Delatone should be pur
chased only in the original package to
insure its full strength and purity.

SPECIAL LABRATORY INSTRUC-
TTON FOR WESTON
BREAD RAKER

We were not satisfied with making
better bread than any other bakery in
the city and accordingly, some months
ago we sent one of our expert bakers
to New York city to take special in
struction in the science of leavening,
mixing and baking bread. This was
considerable expense, and might seem
the result shows plainly when com
pared with other breads. We became
confident that we could make the very
best bread possible, though it had al
ways been much the best procurable.
The idea came to US: "Why not guar
antee this bread" We have always
guaranteed it to be the best made in
Topeka; now we guarantee it to be
the best possible to make. You'll find
the guarantee printed on the wrapper
of each loaf and you'll find that the
bread makes good.
