Stir and let stand an hour or so. It Is Inexpensive Inex-pensive and you will find Its regular use will Improve your skin wonderfully. It keeps the skin soft and satiny, smooth and moist.

It causes light streaks In the hair, brlttlonoss, and lenves the scalp harsh and dry. If you wish to have your hair look bright and healthy, let soap and inferior in-ferior ready-prepared shampoos alone. A good shampoo costs no more than a poor one. The most reliable shampoo I have ever used Is made by dissolving a tea-spoonful tea-spoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot water. This euiampoo cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly, and leaves the scalp fresh, elastic and free from any Irritation. Ir-ritation. It makes the hair soft and lustrous. lus-trous. Canthrox makes a particularly fine shampoo during the winter months, as lt dries quickly. You can buy canthrox from your druggist or get a canthrox shampoo at almost any llrst-class llrst-class hairdresser's. |
