CARE OF THE HAIR
Five General Rules Which Every Woman
Should follow

Should follow.
The following general rules for the care
of the hair should be religiously followed
by all who value healthy scalp and lux
uriant tresses:
/. Brush the hair for from four to five
minutes, night and morning, with a mod
erately hard brush, taking care however.
not to irritate the scalp. The brush
should be washed ist least once a week.
This is one of the best means of keeping
the skin of the head perfectly clean.
:. Wash the head once month in
water softened with a few drops of am
monia, and use she yolk of an egg. we'll
beaten up, with little warm water in
stead of soap.
3. Never use hot irons for curling the
hair. The intense heat dries up the
moisture in the glands, and causes the
hair to become dry, brittle and sometimes
prematurely gray.
a. Never allow the hair to be confined
tightly during the night, by braiding,
pinning, etc. Before retiring for the
night the hair should be well brushed
allowed to hang uneonfined for a few
minutes, and then very loosely braided in
one plat.
D. Careful attention should be paid ia
the general health, as the hair frequently
snffers when the system is in n weak,
debilitated condition. A generous diet,
ana course OF tonic medicine or cod liver
oil Will often restore vigorous growth
to the hair when local meas fail.

sugar industry. He announces that he
will soon erect beet sugar factory in
California which will give employment to

sugar beets and the making of sugar is
just what is needed for California. and if
followed up properly will add greatly to
the resources and comforts of the people.
If the culture of the sugar beet is great

Some of the Republican managers still
affect to believe that the tariff is the all
important issue of the Presidential cam
paign, and in conformance with that an
tiquated idea are sending out copies of
Mr. Bryan's speech on the tariff delivered
in the House of Representatives in June,
1894, when the Wilson bill was before
Congress. They forget that the hard
times began with the operation of the
Mckinley tariff, and it was the manifest
failure Of this act to meet the needs of
the American people that led to the de-
feat of Harrison .and the return of the
Democrats to power. The American PEG.
pie, however, remember all this; they
know too that the seat of disease lies
deeper than any mere industrial problem,

Without going into all the dry de-

In primitive times and among unciyi-

broad facts which are known 10 and

be mans physical inier.o1 nd In times
past she has been actually II not lit

and sport OF man. with one, and only
one. chance OF asserting herself.
This has been the exercise Of per-
sonal charm. which has enabled her TO
move In man the passion called love-
and thereby 10 secure an aseendancy
over him. The love OF power, which Is
common to both sexes. has been hers.
