TODAy'S BEAUTY HELP

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with Can
throx. 1t makes a very simple, in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of
all the dandruff, dirt and excess
oil, leaving a wonderfully clean,
wholesome feeling. After its use,
you will find that the hair dries
quickly and evenly, is never
streaked in appearance and is al
ways bright, soft and fluffy; so
fluffy, in fact, that it looks more
abundant than it is, and so soft that
arranging it becomes pleasure.
Just use a teaspoonful of Canthrox,
which you can get from any good
druggist. dissolve it in cup of hot
water; this makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head.-Adv.
