Active and abreast of the times she may be, with a wide experience, but—she' has grown old and gray headed. Fortunate indeed, is the woman whose hair retains Its color through her^forties. But what of the woman whose hair begins to fade, maybe as early as 25 or 30, the woman in the midst of the active business world? “We don’t want old women!” She feels it all around her. Don’t let your hair t urn gray. But be careful. Very few hair stains are absolutely pure and harmless. There are some reliable prepara tions: oui Robinnaire Hair Dye is one. Made here in Atlanta, in our own laboratory, and we guaran tee it to be pure and positively non-injurious to either hair or scalp. It makes the hair soft and keeps it in fin** condition, and no one can detect that a hair stain has been used, ft is not. a vulgar bleach or artificial coloring. It i«« a natural restorative that puts back life and color into the hair. No one need hesitate to use it. Non-sticky, afcd does not stain skin or scalp No woman need have gray hair undesired. But don’t pull out the white hatirs. Two will grow in im mediately for every one you pull out. Use Rohinnaire’s Hair Dye at once, and don’t let people call you old. It is prepared for light, medium and dark brown and black hair. Trial size. 25c: postpaid, 31 < : regular size. 75c: postpaid, 83c. For saie by all Jacobs’ Pharmacy Stores and druggists generally.
