Meat Eating and Badness.

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 %.
The Italian Parliament. for instance,
shows an lnrivaled collection of billiard
ball heads. while the Italian peasants al
ways rejoice in heavy growths of hair.
Brittany peasant men have hair almost
as long and heavy as their wives \
very clever and well-known doctor claims
that meat eating and badness go togeth-
or. and he has often checked cases of
falling hair by combining with local
treatment diet of milk. eggs and fruit.
After all. tho 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 little
washing with harsh soaps. etc. that will
irritate the scalp. And often hair that is
thin and poor in quality may be made
thick and glossy by this systematic care.

the rosy colors of the evening blend with
those of the morning. leaving no gap OF
