Train Your Hair as
an Actress Does

No class Of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses. and
naturally no class must be more care
full to retain and develop their charms.
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find it
dangerous to shampoo with any make
shift hair cleanser. Instead they have
studied TO find the finest preparation
made for shampooing and bringing out
the beauty Of the hair. The majority
OF them say that to enjoy the best hair
wash and scalp stimulator that is
known. get package Of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a teaspOonfuI IN
a cup OF hot water and your shampoo
is ready. It costs less than three cents
for this amount. After its use the
hair dries rapidly. with uniform color.
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its Iustre and
softness will also delight you. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Ady,
