To Restore Lustre
to Dull, Stringy Hair

1T requires no great effort to have
long, soft. glossy hair says Mrs. Mae
Martyr in the Spokane Tribune. THE
only requirement Is that 1t be washed
occasionally with a harmless mixture.
This will give the hair a chance to
help itself, and when this Is done,
bright, fluffy hair follows.
Nothing can equal plain canthrox. a
teaspoonful of which dissolved in a
cup Of hot water is enough for a good
shampoo. This should be poured slowly
on the head and rubbed briskly. The
rich, creamy lather created cleanses
and invigorates the scalp and hair roots
and rinsing leaves the hair sweet, clean
and fluffy After a canthrox shampoo
the hair dries quickly and evenly. and
IL these shampoos are employed when
required, the hair will come in long and
