OF hang nail: but under no circumstances
should it be cut. and it should never be
so far pushed back as to clear il from

the result of this pushing back of the

Found in the Canoe.

For real, rollicking, exciting fun the
summer girl has decided that nothing COIN
pares with canoeing.
The canoe itself is a fascinating, be-
witching little craft, in its beauty and
gracefulness, and appeals to a woman's
can.
Then, one is so Independent in her little
open or decked canoe, although there is
plenty to do, both for head and hands:
she must act as crew, captain, pilot, and
ballast; must look for squalls, boats, drift
wood, and waves

makes a selection weighs only eighteen
pounds, is 10 1.2 feet in length, has a

As to paddles, where there ID small
channel n single blade Is used; o double
blade for heavy waters. The single hlade
should be quite stiff, with very little
spring to the blade and handle: the double
blade should he about or 8 feet long,
with a joint in the middle so 1t can be
taken apart and slowed below when not
in use. The blades sh ould be comparatively
long and not very wide to get the lest
effect with the least effort. Just here
word to the wise: Always take an extra
paddle with you, for fear you break one.
The water from the blades is apt to run
down the round of the paddle TO the hands:
to prevent this drip, little cups of rubber,
drip cups, have been invented; these are
put on the round of the paddle just above
the blade at each end.

measures be overcome, and it is doubtful
if the scalp is ever quite restored to its
original healthy condition In fact. the
only care or stimulant that normal scalp

frequent washing"
How often do you recommend washing
the hair, DOCTOR"
"A child's hair should he washed once
In two weeks and not oftener, except In
summer time. The small sweat glands
secrete Oil as well as sweat, and being
much more active 10 hot weather, the
hair becomes much greasier and the in
