TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK | You can make a delightful shampoo with very little effort and for a very trifling cos) if you get from your drug gist a package of canthrox and dis solve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and rub briskly. This creates an abundance of thick, white lather that thoroughly dissolves and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with a flufflness that makes it seem heavier than it is. and lakes on a rich luster and a softness that make arranging it a pleasure. w \ BHADdUARTIHU VOK SHIRTS .SlUbj fc SLUtS V ; jf e \ PATTERNS, model* bMdratU ■talrs. and all klnda of wood jobbing.
