RELIABLE METHOD Of nan CARE

Hair is by far the most con-
spicuous thing about us and is
probably the most easily damaged
by bad or careless treatment, If
we are very careful in hair wash
ing, we will have virtually no hair
troubles, An especially fine sham
poo for this weather. one. that
brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair, that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt. can easily be used at
trihing expense by simply dis
solving .teaspoonful of canthrox
(which you can get at any drug
gist's), in a cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup of sham
poo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply Il to all the hair instead
of lust the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also a
Auffiness which makes il seem
much heavier than it is. After
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is pleasure.-Adv.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO any SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old
Time Recipe That Anybody
Can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
/ ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a. bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied.t You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this thru your hair, taking one strand
at a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears, and AFTER another appiica-
ton or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
