BALD-HEADED YOUTHS.


Hair Patches That Are Expensive. But
That Cannot he Detected.
There are more bald-he=ded young
men in our leading social circles"
said the supplier of hirsute defcien les,
than people would think. But that
is because very little of it is revealed
TO the curious glance. You see, most
of the young men grow bald immedi-
ately above the forehead, which leaves
a triangular space. or on the center OF
the head. The first place IS very easily
concealed by patch. which looks as
NATURAL as the real thing. These
patches are readily adjusted and may
he brushed in any style. They are
rather expensive. though-that is, if a
man desires something which will
completely baffie the attempts
Of the suspicious at detec-
tion-and cost all the way
from $50 to $50. according to size and
finish. Concerning that particular
spot on top OF the head in which the
hair Is especially heet;ng. any number
of men whose ages range between -
and 40 are so decorated. They do not
come so high as the first named price,
but are just as easily adju ted and pre-
sent the same impeuetrab bic finish.
There are not many of the complete
wigs s,ld. like there were fifteen or
twenty years ago In fact. it is hard 70
get a wig which does not give itself
awav. and this is worse than thin hair
or badness. What IS the color mostly
in vogue concerning wigs? Why, 1
guess dark brown is the most popular.
Most men have that color of hair.
Black-haired and extremely light
haired men seldom become bald at any
early age: when they do it is generally
on the center of the head.

Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced at a cost of less
than four cents a pound, while in ap-
pearance they are hardly distinguish
able from a pure cream of tartar pow
der, costing from eight to ten times as
much to manufacture, there have been
many of them put upon the market,
and great efforts made to substitute
them for the more wholesome cream Of
tartar compounds.
OF course. such powders afford wide
margins of profits both to the manu-
facturers and dealers and it is not I'M
usual to find them for this reason
recommended and urged upon custom
crs who would not, knowing their true
character, use them under any consid-
Grafton.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream Of tartar powder only
(the Royal; one cream of tartar pow
der containing free tartaric acid; one
phosphate powder containing sulphate
of lime, and that all the other brands
are made from alum The samples
ranged in strength from ls.47 per cent
of leavening (carbonic acid gas found
III the Royal, to Cos per cent found in
re alum powder.
The general usefulness of a baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity of leavening gas it gives off.
A powder containing thirteen per cent.
of gas Will go more than twice as far
that is, one pound of such powder will
raise more than twice as much -four
rs one that evolves but six per cent.
The economy thus shown. however. is
rot the greatest consideration. The
low strength powders leave a large
residuum in the food, which, being Of
alum in its various forms. renders the
food positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describing
the character of the baking powder
found of highest strength, the City
Chemist says: "A high leavening
power IS requisite. Pure ingredients
in proper combination quicken and in
crease the production of carbonic acid
gas. In this the Royal excels all 9TH
crs. 1t is the highest in strength, in
fabrique a faultlcss arrangement of
agents. pure and wholesome. free from
adulteratiUn with lime, ammonia or
alum"
The result Of these tests will be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to housekeepers by enabling
them to distinguish the pure from the
numerous impure and unwholCsome
powders found in the market.
