T0DAY'S BEAUTY HELP

You can keep your hair at its very
best by washing it with teaspoonful
of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot
water, afterward rinsing thoroughly
with clear water. One finds that the
hair dries quickly and evenly, is un-
streaked, bright, soft and very fluffy,
so fluffy in fact, that it looks more
abundant than it is, and so soft that
arranging it becomes pleasure. This
simple, inexpensive shampoo cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of all
dandruff and dirt, and leaves a clean,
wholesome feeling All scalp irrita-
ton will disappear, and the hair will
be brighter and glossier than ever be-
