Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society
women now wash their own hair,
not because 1t Is a fad, but be-
cause they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using any
thing harmful. The thousands
who have found that in washing
the hair It is never wise to use a
makeshift. but is always advisable
to use a preparation made for
shampooing only, say they get the
best results from a simple home
made canthrox mixture. You can
enjoy this, the best that is
known, for about three cents a
shampoo by getting some can
throx from your druggist, and dis
solving a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water. Your shampoo is now
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. DAN
druff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that II
will look much heavier than il is.
Its lustre and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.
