WHY THE HAIR FALLS OUT.
Scientific Explanation of the Reason
for Badness.

Scientific Explanation of the Reason
for Badness.
"The popular explanation Of the rea-
son why men are bald, why their hair
falls out more than women, is because
women do not wear closely fitting hats
as men, and consequently the air cir
culates more freely in the hair, cools
the scalp, thereby tending to keep the
hair in a healthy condition." said a
prominent Washington skin specialist.
This theory is deep-rooted one, but
is only partially true. l will tell you
the fundamental reason. 1t is not gen.
orally known that the skin of woman
fits differently over the Uranium than
that of man. Beneath the cuticle on
woman's Uranium is thin layer Of
adipose tissue, or fat" about a six
teenth Of an inch in thickness. This
layer Of fat is not present on the cram
Jun of a man. His cuticle fits and
draws tightly over the skull.
'The result is that the cuticle on a
mans Uranium atrophies, or dries and
withers quicker than that on wom-
ans, His hair does not receive the
nodgishment that is impaired to the
hair of Yoman by reason of the layer
of adipose TISSUE, and the result is that
his hair becomes more readily dry and
diseased, falls out, and badness ulti-
mately ensues. A bald wonanis rarity.
If the cuticle of a woman's head fitted
as tightly as that of man baldhead-
/ ed woman would be a common sight.
Wouldn't they be funny objects? Ough!
"There is not one woman in million
that knows that nature was kind to
her in the manner 1 have mentioned;
in fact, it is not known outside of the
medical profession, and in the profess
siofi not sufficient Importance is at
tached to it in treating diseases of the
scalp. 1t also furnishes an explana-
ton as to why women can go around
in the winter time with a postage
stamp for hat and not take cold 1t Is
not altogether because their hair is
thick and long, but because the extra
sayer of fat imparts TO the head of
woman a warmth that is not furnished
to the Uranium of man. This is sci
s9tife explanation which 1 do not re
cali, neading in the public prints."-

Scourge of the I,ocus,

Of the 100000 square miles which

100000 are more or less continuously
subject to the scourge of the hungry

pecuniary loss and misery than a ma

An Ear Test.

A novel and curious test for deafness
or approaching deafness has been de-
scribed by a Paris specialist. If the
handle of a vibrating tuning fork be
applied to the knee or other bony por-
ton of the human frame, the sound
cannot be heard by the person who
possesses an unimpaired ear. but if the
ear be attacked by disease then the
note can be heard distinctly.
