why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because It is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad.
yisabIe to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a
cost Of about three cents q sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, and dissolving q tea
spoonful In a cup OF hot water. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to ap-
pIy to all the hair instead OF just the
top Of the head, as with most prep
arations. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear in the rinsing water. Your hair
will be so fluffy that II will look
much heavier than II Is. It's lustre and
softness will also delight you--Adyt.
