po,ice with sincere regret that another
New York gentleman has lost his life as o
result of oyerindulgenoe in the hair dye
habit. This habit is now sapping the Life
blood of many and sowing the seeds of
death throughout our entire land.
TIE hair itself is not improved by dyeing
as an Indian is The Indian, prior to dying
is dissgreeable and annoying, but afterward
he at once becomes docile and harmless.
The hair when dyed becomes rough, and if

Hair in its natural state, when growing
on the head of the original owner, is good
thing but when used for its third or fourth
time it is distasteful. Then if we try to
color the hair and make it look pretty in
stead Of comOing it and allowing it to re-
main the same shade as nature designed II
TO be, we fool ourselves more than we do
other people.

Let us 90 still further and see how it is
about matrimonial matters. 1t is claimed
by gray haired widowers especially, and
bachelors who were born long time ago,
that gray hair or seldom hair is injurious to
matrimonial opportunities. This depends
of course upon who the victim is to be. II

dangerous and foolish habit Of wearing the
hair that has been rihed from foreign
moreue, is not excusable on the ground that
we cannot be properly loved if we are bald.
This ought to be equally true of the hair
that is groy. People who have nice gray
hair should remember those who part their

hair instead of site for it as now have,
