Sometime since, when it was an
nounced that the story that jute braids
and switches were infested with in
sects was merely an invention Of the
enemy, the wOmen took heart and built
higher and stronger. But now a dis
tinguished chemist who has been inves-
tigating the matter says that although
it is true there are no parasites in jute,
still 4 is sure to destroy the human scalp
if allowed to remain long in contact
with it. he says that in the preparation
Of lutte, corrosive sublimate, a most
deadly mercurial poison, and nicotine,
the essential principle of tobacco, are
used, and that the jute, becoming brit
tie like spue glass, breaks into small
particles, which enter the pores of the
scalp, and, introducing the poison, cause
first a slight irritation, and afterward
serious liberation. Similar, though less
marked efforts follow the wearing of
other substitutes for the natural cover
ing Of the head, so that evil results
follow in any case. The same objection
is urged against hair-dyes, hence the
cause Of 50 many liberated and scaley
faces. Those who would look young
and beautiful had better look sharp.
