HAIR HINTS

WORTHY THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE
Who WISH TO PRESERVE THE HAIR.
Never use brush or comb found in
public places, they are usually covered
with dandruff germs,
Shampoo the hair every two weeks
with pure soap and water, or good
ready prepared shampoo.
Use Partisan Sage every day, rubbing
thoroughly into the scalp. This delight
full and invigorating hair tonic, which
divers Red Gross Drug Store sells in a
large so cent bottle, is guaranteed to
quickly abolish dandruff--to stop hair
from falling and scalp from itching or
money refunded.
To put life and beauty into dull, dry
or faded hair and make it soft and
fluffy surely use Partisan Sage - it is
one OF the quickest acting hair tonics
known. advt
