wealth is just within his grasp, death

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, mex
pensive shampoo, which cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly of all the
dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a
wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling.
After it's use, you will find that the
hair dries quickly and evenly, is new
er streaked in appearance and is all
ways bright, soft and fluffy; SO fluffy,
in fact, that it looks more abundant
than it is. and so soft that arranging
it becomes a pleasure. Just use a tea
spoonful of canthroX, which you can
get from any good druggist, dissolve
it in a cup of hot water; this makes
a cup full of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head
