DR.. E. c. Mapother SAYS hair contains
per cent. of sulphur and its ASH. 20 per
cent. of silicon and 10 per cent. of iron
and manganese. Solutions of beef, starchy
mixtures and even milk, which constitutes
the diet of patients with influenza and other
fevers, cannot supply these elements, and
atrophy at the root and falling of the hair
results. A fact which bears on this view
of the case is that young mammals attain
neither strength nor color of hair so long
as milk is their sole food. The foods which
most abundantly contain the elements re-
quired for the strengthening of the hair
are the various albuminoids and the cat.

wife OF President Jackson, who died the I'd 0i
December, 1928. aged sixty-cne years. Her face
was fair. her person pleasing, her temper ami
able, her heart kind. She delighted in relieving
the wants of her fellow creatures, and cultivated
that divine pleasure by the most liberal and
unpretending methods. To the poor she was
benefactor; to the rich an example; to the
wretched a comforter; TO the prosperous or
nament. Her piety went hand in hand with
her benevolence, and she thanked her Creator
for being permitted to do good. A being so
gentle and so virtuous SANDER might wound,
but could not dishonor: even Death, when he
bore her from the arms of her husband, could
bat transport her to the bosom of her God.
And if at midnight you could walk
through the old mansion doubt not you
would see another lovely ghost fitting
through the great rooms-beautiful Emily
Donelson the niece of Rachel jackson and
mistress of the White House during her
uncle's administration Emily Donelson
strongly resembled Mary Queen or Scots
and possessed much of the fascination of
the White Rose of Scotland. The gown
she wore at the first inauguration ball is
one of the precious relics. 1t is of amber
satin, brocaded with violets and trimmed
with pearls and lace. 1t was a present
from the general, and even at that day
was NCSCiIDOd SiCeiO 1CASOA CNCl9

And it is this old mansion, so filled with
historic and gentle associations, that the
Nashville ladies are working vigorously to
save from the hand of the spoiler. They
are now making preparations on a grand
scale for Colonial ball or reception at the
Ponce de Leon, ST. Augustine, in March,
at which many unique and interesting
features will be introduced. General and
Mrs. jackson, the cabinet and foreign
ministers of his administration and their
wives will be personated by prominent so
ciety people Of Nashville. The lady who is
to personate Mrs. Jackson will wear arti-
Giles of dress which belonged to the gen.
erals wife and also the jewels presented to
her by the people of New Orleans.
The ball will be opened with a minuet
and closed with an old fashioned Virginia
reel Many of the most valuable relics will
be taken from the Hermitage to exhibit at
this ball, and one of the attractions viii be
the generals old body servant, an aged
negro who never wearies talking of the
glory of his master. Jackson's sword, pre-
scented by the citizens of New Orleans, will
be carried by the gentleman who person
ates him.
An effort is now being made by prominent
southerners to interest New York society
people in this affair, and specially to enlist

A Valuable Recipe.

The Couricr-Journai publishes The
following valuable recipe for making
whitewash which is the same kind plac-
ed upon the White House, otherwise
known as the Presidents mansion, in
Washington City. 1t ia worth preserv-
ing aud should be in every household
The following is the recipe in question
only modified slightly as the result of
actual experience:
"Take half a bushel say, of nice un-
Stacked lime, slack it with boiling wa
ter, covering it during the process to
keep in the steam. Strain the liquid
drought fine strainer; aud add to 1t a
peck Of clean salt, previously we'll dis
solved in warm water; three pounds Of
ground rice, boiled to thin paste, stirr-
cd in boiling hot bali a pound OF pow
dered Spanish whiting, and Il pound Of
clean glue, which has been previously
dissolved by first soaking it well, and
then hanging it over a slow fire, in a
small kettle within large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water to the whole mixture stir it well
and let it stand few days covered from
the dirt. 1t should be put on quite hot :;
for this purpose it can be kept IN ket-
tie on Il portable furnace. 1t is said
FtTst one pint Of this mixture will cover
sauafS. yard upon the outside of a
house, if properly applied. 1t answers
as we'll as oil paint for yeo5 Cdt brick or
stone, aud is much cheaper. 1t retains
it's brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare
with it for covering either inside or out
