IN REGARD TO THE HAIR.
Diet and Habits of Life Effect Its
Growth and Beauty.

Any woman who can make two
strands of hair grow where only one
grew before is a benefactor of her sex,
and she who can and does do this
thing says that, barring only a few
untoward conditions, there is no rea-
son why every woman should not re-
tain the luxuriant glossy richness of
her hair until the day of her death.
Another cheerful assertion of this sci
entific hair doctor is that by proper
and persistent treatment hair that l.
losing gloss and color can be induced
to revive and the first demand she
makes is that her patients shall give
their heads plenty of sunshine, fresh
air and water.
When patient comes to her for ex-
animation and diagnosis of her scalp
and tresses she lets down the length
of locks, runs her hands all over the
head and, adjusting her spectacles and
powerful electric light, studies her
subject. If you have thrown yourself
on her mercy because silver threads
are appearing among the gold, she
will, If the trouble has not gone too
far, counsel one simple expedient
soon as they appear. In youth, with
good health and no hereditary tenden-
cy to gragness, this serves as a check
and often as q preventive, for as sure
as twice two are four one gray hair
brings another, and it is better 70
| pluck out a whole handful of long
strands and cast them from you.
Added to these instructions she
warns all patients who suffer from ina
cipient grayness to get their heads
| out of doors and into the sunshine as
much as possible. Americans turn
gray sooner than any other nation be-
cause of the indoor lives they lead.
Peasants, and especially the Latin and
southern races, keep the color of their
hair the longest. In France, Italy and
Spain, where the winters are short, and
the heat of summer drives people out
| of doors, gray hair Is a curiosity
| except among the very aged.
For this reason gofilng. bicycling
and walking out of doors without q
doctor, but she strenuously urges her
| patients never to let the hot summer
| sun beat directly on their locks. A
| fierce sun dries the hair too much
while in winter she advocates the
| habit of sitting in sunny window
| and shaking the tresses, combing them
out over the shoulders and permitting
