TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very care
full in hair washing. we Will have vir-
tually no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather. one
that brings out all the natural beauty
Of the hair, that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff. excess oil
and dirt, can easily be used at trifing
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox (Which you can
get at any druggists) in a cup OF hot
water. This makes a full cup OF sham
poo liquid, enough so it is easy to ap-
ply it TO all the hair instead of lust
the top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on
the glossy richness Of natural color.
also fluffiness which makes il seem
much heavier than It is. After a can
throx shampoo, arranging the hair is
a pleasure.
