pasted in the upper left-hand corner it

that he will tip generously, but insists

THE HAIR.

Rustics who live ON bread-and-
milk diet nearly always have heavy
hair to an advanced age, while people
who lunch and dine on meat rarely
have after 25.
The Italian parliament shows an un-
rivaled collection of billiard-ball heads,
while the Italian peasants always re-
joice in heavy growths of hair. Brittany
peasant men have hair almost as long
and heavy as their wives.
A very clever and well-known doc
tor claims that meat eating and bald
ness go together, and he has often
checked cases of falling hair by COM
bining with local treatment a diet of
milk, eggs and fruit.
The finest heads of hair belong to
the Kalmuck women, who are deaf to
music. The hair touches the ground
when they stand. and it's only fault is
that it is coarse in texture. These wo-
men live on a diet of milk, tea and rye
bread.
In society one may always tell the
girls whose parents have risen from the
humber classes to wealth by the super
ior quality of their hair.
Verdi has been given as an example
of the effect of instrumental music on
! the growth of hair; but Rochefort can
be pitted against him. Rochefort does
not know a note OF music, but if he did
not keep his snowy fleece cut to a mod
crate length it would swamp him.
After all, the most simple methods
of caring for the hair are the best
Daily brushing until the scalp is clean
and kept free from dandruff, with very
