T0DAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and Is proba-
bly, the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. III we
are very careful in hair washing,
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
trifling expense by simply dissolv-
ing teaspoonful Of canthrox
(which you can get at any drug
gist's) in a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup of shampoo
so 1t is easy to-
apply Il to all the hair instead Of
lust the top of the head. This
dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling lath-
sr. Rinsing leaves the scalp spot, J
lessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on the glossy rich
ness of natural color; also fluff
ness which makes IL seem much
heavier than II In. After a can
throx shampoo, arranging the hair
is pleasure.

Bruce Craven IL not an officer of

I have to declare the Knights of Co
