Of Gov. Ammons to the fact that a
report is on file ~condemning as unfit

A returned traveller says when I was
in Europe this year l found both cities

thing but care OF the hair. Personally
was interested in finding a really good
shampoo and was happily surprised when
several inquiries each brought the sug

throx shampoo is best l tried II and
have decided that It is not advisable 70
use a makeshift but always use prep

can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by getting
a package Of canthrox from your drug

hot water and your shampoo is ready
After its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that II will
look much heavier than II Is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you, while
