Practically every resource Of the
Navy Department and the ship

tracts with the government are
being exerted in turning out de-

building facilities used in navy
work is employed on the torpedo

why HAVE
GRAY HAIR
Sunshine and Air and Q-Ban Will
Quickly Restore Its Natural
Color.
DON'T USE DYES
You Can Have Soft, Lustrous,
Handsome Hair in Abundance
Without Sticky or Dangerous
Chemicals-"Back to Nature" )"

OF course, the use OF dyes to darken
gray hair is unpleasant and not in good
taste-even dangerous, in fact. But
since the natural color can now be re-
stored to gray or faded hair in a per-
fectly simply, healthful natural way,
why should any one have gray hair?
Why should you:
Sunshine and air. the good gifts OF
Nature, combined with the use OF Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer, the good gift of
science, will bring back the natural
color OF your hair, evenly and pleas
antly, and just as surely as. it is true
that sunshine and air are free. Thou
sands of the foremost people in this
country have restored their hairs nat
ural color and renewed their youthful
look in just this way. 1t is nothing to
be ashamed OF, like the use of dyes.
Nor does it arouse suspicion, as dyes
do by the unnatural appearance they
give the hair.
All you need to do to gain rich and
coveted beauty of hair without a trace
of gray. is TO wet your hair with Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer, and when il is dry
enough expose it to the free and pure
sunshine and air, repeating this daily
while your hair gradually and evenly
returns to its original, uniform shade.
Q-Ban does not pretend to work mir
acles overnight, remember. Such claims
belong to dangerous dyes, sticky paints
and fakes. Q-Ban's work is safe, per-
manent and natural. and keeps the
change from making you conspicuous.
Your hair will become more glossy, lus-
trous, soft. abundant and captivating.
