TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is
entirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
ioyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This makes full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to ap-
ply it to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. This when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in its action,
as we'll as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fluffiness
that makes i seem very seavy.-
