WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because 1t il a fad, but
because they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful.
They have found that in washing tbs
hair It is never wise to use a makeshfft
but is always advisable TO use a prepa-
ration 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 a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist, and dissolving a teaspoon
full in a cup OF hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply TO all
the hair instead OF just the top OF the
head, as with most preparations. Dan
drUff, excess oil and DIRT are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be 80
fluffy that 1t viii look much heavier
than il is. Its Iustre and softness will
also delight you.-AdY.
