Caro- of the Hair.

How often do we SEQ members OF the
fair sex who never dream Of taking down
the days coiffure when retiring, never use
a brush, just do 1t up I'm the morning
and cannot understand why it Is their
hair falls out so. Now for a little practical
and tried advice. Every night your hair
must be loosened and released. Part it in
every conceivable manner and thoroughly
brush the scalp, not roughly, but until
you produce warm glow. Give it at
least 80 strokes morning and evening and
repeatedly change the way you brush it,,
some nights oombing IL up on the head,
at another timo braiding your hair loose
ly, but above oil never forget to use the
brush freely. An article too often called
into action Is the 1no tooth comb. IL In
variably irritates the scalp, is the frequent
cause of dandruff and acts In very much
the same capacity as a rake would II ap-
piled to the head. Once a month or even
once in six weeks Is short enough period
to elapse between the hair wash" Often
er than that may cause that dry look y
