A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently II It Is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all the
natural beauty Of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense, by
dissolving a teaspoonful Of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist's, In a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup Of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead Of Just to the top Of
the head. This, when rubbed into
the scalp and onto every strand OF
hair, chemically dissolves all impuri-
ties. 1t is very soothing and cooling
in its action, as we'll as beneficial to
both scalp and hair. After rinsing out
the lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
danaruff, while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing bright luster
and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem
very heavy.
