WONiNS THIN H1iR.

That is distressing moment in Il
woman's life when she first discovers
that tiny spot over the temple or brow
where the hair is beginning to grow
thin.
"Ny hair is just coming ont by the
handfuls,' she says. Nv hat in the
world shall | do for it, Then each
best friend starts in to tell her Just
what she should do, and between a
multiplicity of advice she is so confus-
ed that she knows not which to choose.
The falling out Of the hair is usu-
allv the result of low condition of
body or of some trouble with the scalp
when it occurs in young people, acc( r
ding to the Philadelphia Press. In
fact, there is no reason for THU hrlr
even in old age, except that with old
age general debility generally goes.
Vigorous health is always a"compan-
led with vigorous growth of hair,
and when a woman finds her hair tal :
ing out for apparently no reason at all
she might be pretty sure that she nee DIS
little toning up of her system. The
wlsest thing she Can do is to go to IA
specialist, and give her head into Ter
care. But this takes money, as the
cure cannot be effected in Il few days,
and the continued attention of Il care
taker would incur the expenditure of
no small sum of money. IT'S true,
such "a sum would not be wasted, but
all of us have not money to spend III
that way. Home treatment, then.
must be res ,rt d to and here Is Il
hint.
Three sisters in this city are noted
for the luxuriance and beauty of then
hair. They are working-glrls and no
outside care is given to their hair.
They say that any woman can Guilt
vate beautiful head of hair by Civ
ing esular attention to the scalp and
the hair-roots. Once every wee these
sisters act as maids for each other.
Every inch of scalp is gone over with
the teeth of the comb, and from the
roots of the hair every piece of dand-
ruff is loosened away.
This frees the roots of the hair and
freshens up the oil glands which are
there, making the oil flow more freely
into the hair. After this loosening
process, the hair is brushed and brush
ed until not speck of dandruff re-
mains in its meshes, aud the scalp is
in a most delightful glow. These
girls declare that they owe the length
and glossiness of their hair to this
treatment which was started by their
mother, when they were little maids
in pinaf)les. Once month each
head is washed clear of oiliness. The
constant brushing makes the secretion
of oil profuse. A little boraX is drop
ped in basin of warm water, and.
with the aid of the slig H. est touch OF
pure CASTLE soap, the hair and scalp
are thoroughly lathered; then washed
1t is rinsed in basin of plain tepid
water. Two or three rinslngs are nee
tssary, after which the hair is dried
by brisk tanning. Raise it from
the scalp bit by bit with the left hand,
while with a fan welded briskly in
the right hand, currant Of wind is
made, which is strong enough to dry
moisture.
After washing and drying, it is a
very unusual scalp that does not need
some external help in the matter OF
oil. A shampoo is liable to leave the
scalp rather dry, and for this reason
after a through washing one should
take little vaseline-just a very little
Oh the edge of the tinger-and rub it
carefully into the scalp. Then brush
the hair until 1t lies smooth and glo sy
on the head.
Singing the hair has been much in
vogue-especially with "bangs" it is
thought to be more successful than
the usual haircut. The singeing Is
thought to strengthen the HAIR and
promote its growth.
Remember that simple, natural
treatment is always the best. Tonics
and washes should always be avoided,
except, of course, those used by special
lists, to whom the care Of the hair is
given. A clean scalp, unclotted on
glands, daily brus hing and constant
NOT spasmodic-care will accom-
plish wonders with very ordinary
read of hair.
