"We i don't want old women!” She feels < it all around her. j Don’t let your hair turn gray. But ; be careful. Very few' hair .‘■•tains are absolutely pure and harmless.

It if. a natural restorative that puts hack life and color into the hair. No one need hesitate to use it. Non-stlcky, and does not stain skin or scalp No woman need have gray hair undesired. But don't pull out the white hairs. Two will grow in im mediately for every one you pull out. Use Robinnaire’s Hair Dye at once, and don't let people call you old.
