TopAY's BEAUTY HELPS

I'VE find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very
best advantage by washing 1t
with canthrox. 1t makes a very
simple, inexpensive shampoo,
which cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly of all the dandruff,
dirt and excess oil, leaving a
wonderfully clean, wholesome
feeling. After its use, you will
find that the hair dries quickly
and evenly, is never streaked in
appearance and 1t always bright,
soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact.
that 1t looks more abundant than
1T is. and so soft that arranging
il becomes a pleasure. Just use
teaspoonful of canthrox, which
you can get from any good drug
gist, dissolve it in a cup of hot
water; this makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough SO il is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
