TOBAY's BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers mp an
nnattractive complexion aud leaves
no lasting benefits. Those who
have tried q simple spnrmax face
lotion find Il much better. as Il re-
moves skin discoIorations, such as
freckles and tan. and makes the
skin smooth, white and velvety.
This lotion Is made by dissolying
four ounces Of spurmax In one-haif
pint hot water. then adding two
teaspoonfuls glycerin. This COM
pIexion beautifier does not rub off
or show like powder. and gives a
more refined appearance. Il re-
moves both shininess and sallowness,
rapidly giving the skin a permanent
healthy. youthful appearance.
An especially fine shampoo for
f1ia weather can be had al trifling
expense by dlssolving a teaspoonfnl
Of canthrox IN a cup OF hot water.
Pour slowly on scalp and massage
bFiskly. This creates a soothing,
cooling iather that dissolyes and re-
moves al dandrnff, excess oil and
