nAIR AND the
MARRIAGE MARKET

Too many mon have been unpleas-
antly surprised to find that their wife's
hair which they had so greatly admired
was only a switch or transformation
We now know that poor hair Is a con-
fession OF either laziness or lack OF
knowledge and that fair care with
sensible means will insure scalp health
and hair beauty. In washing the hair
1t is not advisable to use a makeshift,
but always use a preparation made for
shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting a package
of Canthrox from your druggist; lis
solve teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water and your shampoo is ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Danoruff. excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
1t will look much heavier than it Is.
Its lustre and softness will also delight
you. while the stimulated scalp gains

man had ''cancerous growth of the
