adduced by the representative OF a
leading firm as follows:

The difficulty which silk hat makers
experience is not SO much the scarcity
OF plush and shellac as the scarcity of
labor. Silk hating is trade entirely

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair. while the most pop
ular count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies just because of their attrac-
tive looks. Inquiry among them
discloses the fact that they bring
out all tho natural beauty of their
hair by careful shampoolnG. not
with any soap or makeshift, but
with "a simple mixture by putting a
,caspoonful Of canthrox (Which
they get from the drugsist) in cup
OF hot water and applying this in
stead of soap. This full cup of sham
pool liquid is enough so it is easy
to apply it TO all the hair instead OF
just the top of the head. After It's
use tho hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruf. excess oil
and dirt arc dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
