A WOMAN'S HAIR AND THE STORY IT TELLS Somebody has said that a woman's teeth are milestones indicating her age, but a far more important feat ure indicative of years is the heir. Many a woman has kept her youth ful appearance long past middle life because of proper care of the hair, and in this care the first considera tions are absolute cleanliness and a choice of the right shampoo. It is not advisable to use a cleanser made for all purposes, hut rather always use a preparation made for sham pooing only. You can enjoy the best that is known for about three cents a shampoo by getting a pack age of Canthrox from your druggist. Dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff, ex cess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains "the health which insures hair growth.—Adv.
