every movie actress you have
seen has lovely hair, while the
most popular count their curls as
their chief beauty7 In fact, many
are leading ladies just because Of
their attractive looks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact that
they bring out all the natural
beauty OF their hair by careful
shampooing, not with any soap or
makeshift, but with a simple mix
ture by putting a tesspoonful OF
canthroN (Which they get from the
druggist) in a cup OF hot water and
applying this instead Of soap. This
full cup OF shampoo 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. the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dsnd-
run, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The
hair is so fluffy that il looks much
