To Have Wavy Hair Like Nature's Own Here's a brand new recipe of unques tioned merit, that joa should make note of, unless you are one of the few possessors of naturally wavy hair. It's very simple. for all you need do is to apply a little liquid silmerinc before doing up the hair with a clean tooth brush and in three hours you will find this has dried in the sweetest eurls and waves imaginable. They will be iust like "Nature's own," having; no resemblance to the effect produced by a hot iron, which is so obviously artificial. The application is really beneficial to the hair and gives it that lively lustre so much desired. As it is so easy to ob tain a few ounces of the liquid silmerinc from your druggist sufficient to keep the hair curly for many weeks there's no reason now for putting up with either that straight, contrary bair or with the curling iron nuisanee.

No Man Can Pull Himself Up By His Own Boot Straps The theory of reducing prices effectively by irrational and unreasonable reductions at retail is all bunk.
