Movie Actresses
and Their Mair

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, (this is a
secret), many are leading ladies
just because Of their attractive
locks. Inquiry among them dis
closes the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampooing, not with
any soap or makeshift, but with q
simple mixture which they make
up for themselves by putting a tea
spoonful of canthrox (which they
get from the druggist), in a cup
of hot water and applying this in
stead of soap. After its use their
hair dries rapidly, with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear. The hair is so fluffy that
it looks much heavier than it is.
It's lustre and softness is delightful,
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
