TELLS SECRET
A Beauty Specialist Gives Simple
Home Made Recipe TO
Darken Gray Hair

Mrs. NJ. D. Gillespie, a welLlknown
beauty specialist of Kansas CIty, re-
Gently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
ANY one can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and make
it soft and glossy. To a half pint of
water add l ounce of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and
Il ounce of glycerine. These irAgre-
dients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost, or the drug
gist will put it up for you. Apply
to the hair twice a week until the
desired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. This is not
a dye, it does not color the most
delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub Off"
