TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS
Face powder simply covert up an
unattractive complexion and leares
no lasting benefit. Those who have
tried a simple spurmax face lotion
find It much better, as It remoYea
skin decolorations, such as freckles
and tan, and makes the skin smooth,
white and YeWety. This lotion Is
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax In one-half pint hot water,
then adding two teaapoonfuls gly
cerin. This complexion, beautlrler
does not rub off or show like powder,
and gives a more refined appearance.
It removes both shlnlness and sallow
nena. rapidly giving the skin a per
manent healthy, youthful appear
ance. An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be had at trifling ex
pense by dissolving a teaapoonful of
canthrox In a cup of hot water. Pour
lowlv on scaln and massage briskly.
This creates a soothing, cooling lath
er that dissolves and removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. Rins
ing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and pliant, while the hair takes
on a glossy richness of natural color,
slso a flufflness which makes It seem
much heavier than It Is. After a
canthrox shampoo arranging the hair
is a pleasure. Advertisement.
