BECKLEY'S BUSINESS COLLEGE . 121 MARKET ST. i Bell 125 (Opp. Senate) Dial 401* Today's Beauty Talk You can enjoy a delightful sham poo with very little effort and for a trifling cost, if you get from your druggist a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a f"l< cup of shampoo liquid—enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair in stead of just the top of the head. Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely cov ered by the daintily perfumed prep aration that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries qnickly with a flufTi ness that makes it seem heavier than it is, and takes on a rich luster and a softness that makes arranging it a pleasure.
