How to N axe Your
Hair Beautiful
Ten Minutes Home Treatment
Works Wonders, Stops Falling
Hair, Itching Scalp and
Dandruff and Makes the
Hair Soft, Brilliant,
LustrOus and Fluffy,

LtistrOus and Fluffy.
Better than all the so-called
hair tonics" in the world is a
simple old-fashioned home recipe
consisting of plain Bay Rum, La
yona (de Composee), and a little
Menthol Crystals. These three
mixed at home in a few minutes,
work wonders with any scalp. Try
It just one night and see. Get
from your druggist 2 OF. Lavona,
8 OF. Bay Rum and " drachm
Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the
Crystals in the Bay Rum and pour
in an 8 OF. bottle. Then add the
Lavona, shake well and let 1t
stand for an hour before using.
Apply 1t by putting little of the
mixture on soft cloth. Draw this
cloth slowly through the hair,
taking one small strand at a
time. This cleanses the hair and
scalp of dirt, dust and excessive
oil and makes the hair delightful
ly soft, lustrous and fluffy. To
stop the hair from falling and to
make 1t grow again rub the lotion
briskly into the scalp with the
finger tips or a medium stiff
brush. Apply night and morning.
A few days use and you will not
find single loose or struggling
hair. They will be locked on your
scalp as tight as wise. Dand-
ruff will disappear and itching
cease. You will find fine downy
new hairs sprouting up all over
your scalp and this new hair will
grow with wonderful rapidity.
Any druggist can sell you the
above. The prescription is very
inexpensive and we know Of moth
ing so effective and certain in its
results.

can grow long heavy eye
lashes? q. H.
Alt requires considerable
patience, but very good results
have been achieved by amounting
the eyelashes every evening be-
fore retiring with white vaseline,
applied with y small camelshair

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS

To whiten and beautify the COM
plexion permanently we have found
no better preparation than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in one-half pint hot water,
then adding two teaspoonfuls gly-
cerin. This removes any pimples,
shiny, muddy or sallow appearance,
and will make anyone's skin cleaI
smooth and velvety. II does not
show or rub off like powder; In fact,
1t seems. part of the skin; and for
removing tan and freckles Is un-
equaled.
1t is necessary to shampoo more
frequently in the warmer weather
because of excessive dust and the
fact that the head perspires more
and is usually more exposed to the
weather. The easiest-to-use and
quickest-drying shampoo that We
can recommend to our readers can
be prepared very cheaply by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox,
obtained from your druggist, in a cup
Of hot water. This rubbed into the
scalp creates a thick lather, soothing
and cooling in its action, and very
beneficial to scalp and hair. After
rinsing the scalp is fresh and clean
and the hair dries quickly and even
ly and takes on bright luster and
soft fluffiness that makes IL seem
very heavy.-Advertisement.
