Actress Tells Secret
4 Well Known Actress Tells How to
Darkcn Gray Hair With Simple
Homo Made Mixture

Joicey Williams, the we'll known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theater in
st. Louis, Mo-, made the following
statement about gray hair and how
to darken 1t:
Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray streaked or
faded hair, and make 1t soft and
glossy. To a half pint of water
add / ounce of bay rum, u small
box of Barbo Compound, and II
ounce of glycerine. These ingredi-
ents can be bought at any drugstore
at very little cost, or any druggist
can put IL up for you. Apply to the
hair twice a week until the desired
shade is obtained. This will make
a gray haired person look 20 years
younger. This is not dye. 1t does
not color the most delicate scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and does not
rub off.
