very trifling cost, if you get fromyour druggist a package of can-throx and dissolve a teaspoonfal ina cup of hot water. This makes a

full cup of shampoo liquid, enoughso it is easy to apply It to all thehair instead of Just the top of thehead. Your shampoo is now ready.Just pour a littlo at a time on thescalp and hair until both are en¬tirely covered by the daintily per¬fumed preparation that thoroughlydissolves and removes every bit ofdandruff, excess oil and dirt. Afterrinsing, the hair dries quickly, witha flufliness that makes it seemheavier than it is, and takes on arich luster and a softness thatmakes arranging it a pleasure.Adv.
