states that badness usually comes
from carelessness, and that anyone
who gives the hair just a little atten-

of good, healthy hair. Dandruft and
dirt cause badness by clogging the
pores In the scalp and giving the dand.
ruff germs fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment Is very simple; re.
move the dirt by shampooing at least
once In ten days and destroy the dand-
run germs by frequent applying
