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 sham
poo 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 package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it 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 dis
solved and entirely disappear when
you rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. It's lustre and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.
