Jim Henrys Column How Long is Three Minutes? You always stretch and groan for twice three minutes before you obey the alarm clock.

Analyze an average day and you'll find that you waste three minutes at least 97 times I quote from a letter: “Next morning, when I opened the carton and re: our breezy little let- ter of instruction, I thought at first that you were kidding me. The idea of spending three whole valuable minutes on lathering! But I gave it a fair trial and decided that the result was worth all the trouble. Mennen forever!” If you are one of these snappy 10 second latherers, don’t waste 50 cents on Mennen’s, Use laundry soap. Don’t get the idea that Mennen lather is slow working. As a matter of fact it enervates your beard more quickly than most lathers. But three minutes of brisk beating with the brush is required to attain that astonishing suppliance which so startles you on your first trial. ok at the matter sensibly. ing is an essential daily opera- tion. You can make it a nerve jangling misdemeanor which clouds your naturally sunny disposition for hours, or you can perform it with blithe and happy content. 2 { It's just a question of cutting loose from a Hirward,- the hard soap you MM: have always hated and building up a three minute lather with comparable Mennen Shaving Cream.

The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The B. L Watkins Ca, Cleveland, Odio, comicbooks.com
