SUMMER BEAUTY HINT

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about us, and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing, we Will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
wca thcr. one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandrun. excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at triflinS expense by
simply dissolving Il teaspoonful of
canthroS (Which you can get at any
drugsist's). in. n cup OF hot wafer.
This makes Il full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead OF just tho
top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates
n soothing. cooling lather. Rinsins
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and plant, while tho hair takes
on the glossy richness OF natural
color, also n flulincss which makes
it seem much heavier than it is.
After canthrox shampoo. arranging
the hair is n plcasure.-Adv.
