Dissolve it in one ounce of water and
comb it throtieh the hair. Full direc
tions for use come in each box.- -
"You need not hesitate to use Orlex
as a $100.00 gold bond comes in each
box guaranteeing the user that Orlex
dofes not contain silver, lead, zinc,
mercury, aniline, coal-tar products or
their derivatives.
"It does not rub ; off, is not sticky
fcr gummy and leaves the hair fluffy.
It will make a gray haired person

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT
It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en
tirely and properly cleansed i eaoh
tme by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty; of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea
snoonful of.Canthrox, which can be
obtained from any druggist, in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it" is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just to the top of the head. This,
when rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically dis
solves all impurities. It is very sooth
ing, and cooling in Us action, as well
as beneficial to both scalp and hair.
After rinsing out .the Iathr so
created, you will find the scalp Is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff,
while the hair dries quickly and even
ly," developing a bright luster and a
soft fluffiness that makes it seem
very heavy. Advertisement. .
