Caro- of Hair and Scalp.

The skin of the head requires daily
treatment, but not daily bath, accord

book on physical culture, that rotary
movement Of the fingers over the scalp
helps to keep the pores in working or.

full strokes, removes dust and keeps the
head in a healthy condition. The mas
sage increases the circulation and pre-
vents the hair from turning gray. The
hair should be left loose at night, and q
silk handkerchief worn over the head
improves the gloss. The hair should be
clipped two or three ;times3 atyear to ~
move split ends and promote growth. If
the hair is braided loosely IL two hraids
and the hand drawn up over each braid;
the loose ends will stand ont in . way
which makes them easy to clip. The
hair need be washed only once in two or
three months. Too frequent bathing ex-
hausts the nutrient elements Of the se-
baoeous glanda ,Careshould be taken in
taking the head bath, and in thoroughly
drying the hair, OF colds, headaches and
serious i'll health may be the result. An
oil made Of three parts vaseline to one
part lanoline is good toprevent the hair
from falling out. Vaseline is . valuable
stimulant tor eyelashes and eyebrows. ).
