Civilization is especially mindful of
the need Of cleanliness for the hair.

Never wash the hair with an ordi-

capable OF cleansing the scalp thor

masses, giving it dingy appearance
and eventually rOtting it.

The Stomach.

Large portions of the stomach may

pies in our present opinion so impor,
tant place in digestion as it formerly
held. We know that it is rather pre-.
parcr for the exercise of the digestive
powers of the pancreas than an active
digestive agent itself and that one of
its functions is to render innocuous
many of the heterogeneous which
enter with the food. So we can
understand to some extent the small
amount of interference with digestion
produced by even considerable resec-
tions of the stomach.-Lancet.

Artistic Signs.

There is no need of having hidcous
things for signs. Signs may be bcauti-
full. In Belgium particularly Il munich
pal art society has taken hold of the
matter and initiated competition for
beautiful designs. They give liberal
prizes for the best signs. Sculptors and
skillful workers in iron compete be
cause of the value of prizes and be-
cause of their interest in the work and
the merchants because of the. adVcr-
tiSemcnt which it gives them. The re-
suit has been that all over Brussels you
find pretty signs, and the curious part
Is that the beautiful ones pay better
than the ugly, for while the latter only
receive Il passing notice and then Il
feeling of disgust the signs which are
beautiful attract permanent attention.
