GOOD TREATMENT
FOR OILY SCALPS

Men and women whose hair and
scalp are excessively oily suffer more
in the warmer months than at any
other time. The summers dust and
dit mingle with dandruif, cling to
the oily hair and scalp clog the
scalp pores, stifle the hair roots and
make proper cleansing almost i'm
possible.
Partisan Sage Is an ideal treatment
for this trouble. Wash the hair not
oftener than once week, but use
Partisan Sage twice daily, pouring a
little into the parted hair and rubbing
briskly right into the scalp with the
finger tips. 1t drives out dandruff
dissolves the excess oil and stimulates
the scalp into healthy normal action
