TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do
actresses, and no class must be
more careful to retain and develop
their charms. Inquiry develops the
information that in hair care they
find it dangerous to shampoo with
any makeshift hair cleanser. The
majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at
a cost of about three cents, one
need only get a package OF can
throx from your druggist; dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot wa
ter and your shampoo is ready.
This makes enough shampoo liquid
to apply 1t to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. After
its use the hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are quickly dissolved
and entirely disappear when you
rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than 1t is. Its
lustre and softness Will also de-
light you while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.
