SUGBESTIONS Face powder simply covers up an unattractive complexion and leaves no lasting benefits. Those who have tried a simple spurmax face lotion find it much better, as it removes skin discolorations, such as freckles and tan, and makes the skin smooth, white and velvety. This lotion is made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax in one-half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glyc- erin. This complexion beautifier does not rub off or show like powder, and | gives a more refined appearance, It removes both shininess and sal-| lowness, rapidly giving the skin a' permanent, healthy, youthful appear- | ance. | An especially fine shampoo for this weather can be had at trifliny ex 14 pense by dissolving a teaspoonfu! of canthrox in a cup of hot water. Pour slowly on scalp and massage briskly. | & This creates a soothing, cooling lather that dissolves and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. Rins- ing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, | soft and pliant, while the hair take: on a glossy richness of natural color, also & fluffiness which makes it seem very much heavier that it is.
