SHERIFF DARE
NOTALTER WRITS
Must Publish Sales As Prop.
erly Is Described
WOULD CHANGE AT HIS RISK
Attorneys Agree That Ii Would be
Dangerous for Official to 1amper
With Legal Forms

Because of political difference with
Sheriff Mcdaniel. a local afternoon
paper charges the Sheriff with adver
tising sales in city papers at double
the price that should be charged. The
paper says that in describing n prop
erty the county official uses a long and
antiQuated form that entails a cost of
double what the new form would III
the Sheriff followed the advice of the
writer of the article his action would
cause more litigation and expense to
the county and TO himself than the cost
of printing the entire number of sheriff
sales in New Castle county amounts to.
Prothonotary Speakman said this
morning that the only safe way for the
Sheriff to advertise a property for sale
lis to follow the description set forth in
the writ, and unless that is done he
may lay the grounds for a petition TO
set aside the sale. The court has de-
cided that a general description of a
property is enough, but in that case the
mortgage contained but a general de-
lscription.
When suit is brought on a mortgage.
the property involved is condemned
and PrOthonotary Speakman makes out
81 his writ in strict accordance with the
description of the property as It APP
pears in the mortgage. There can be
no sale made unless the property re-
lferred to is fully described.
p John II. Rodney, when asked about
The matter this morning, said that the
herim would take great risk in chang

Sheriff Mcdaniel said he would not
dare alter a writ. as he understands
that it is necessary for him to follow
the description as given. After the writ
leaves the prOthonotary the plaintih

Notes From WOman'S Realm
Proper Care Of the Hair

The care of the hair is of the great
est Importance. It's condition affords
sure index OF the state of the general
health. its gloss and beauty depending
in very great measure upon the
bodily vigor of its possessor. The de-
bility following exhausting diseases
typhoid fever, for instance-almost
universally causes a falling out Of the
hair, a loss that is luckily repaired,
however. as cOnvalescence proceeds, for
the new growth is not infrequently
curly. One of Che greatest personal at
fractions of a woman is beautiful, or
more truly, beautifully kept, hair, says
Dr. Emma f. Walker
The periods between the washings
must be regulated by the necessities Of
the case and by eommOnsense. AS a
general rule the hair should not be
washed oftener than once in two or
three weeks. / know cases where once
a week seems mot TO do any harm but
rather to keep the hair in good cOndi-
ton. The effect of shampoOing mus
be carefully watched and the condiU.On
of the hair be taken into consideration
i'm order to decide this point The
cleanliness of the hair and scalp de-
Dends to a great degree upon the
amount of exposure. The quality OF
the. hair also has its influence, oily
hair needing more frequent attention
than dry hair. A good method in gem
eral is as follows: Tincture of green
soap is rubbed thoroughly into the
scalp with THE finger-tips, care being
taken TO avoid scratching with the
nails. A little hot water is added 10
make a good lather One soap is as
good as another provided THE quality 81
fine. l am partial TO tar soap, and rub
that on after using the green soap. A
few drops of ammonia may be used in
the water, especially if the hair be
oily. More than this is apt to dry and
crack the hair Or a teaspoonful OF
soda may be added to the first basin
of water. After thoroughly washing
hair and the scalp in the manner just
described, rinse it. Several waters
chOuld be used until the last one is
perfectly clear
WHEN DRYING THE HAIR.
Drying should be accomplished by
rubbing with warm towels. followed
! by a good dry massage with the finger
tips, till the whole head is in glow. BY
this procedure the requisites of beauty
and health-cleanliness and vigorous
circu.ation-have been fulfilled. A de-
vOtion to Hygeia is sure of its own re-
ward, but that devotion must not be
spasmOdic; it must be continuous and
persistent. Whenever possible the hair
should be dried in the sun. A sun
bath brings out its glinting lights as
nothing else can. The polish Of dhe
hair, If | may call it so, is more essen
ti9I 20 its beauty than even the tex
ture or color. When sunshine is not
available a substitute for drying is fam
ming. If the air is warm the process
will be just so much shorter. The
| locks should be shaken from time to
time during the drying It is wei in
the case of long hair to braid it very
loosely before washing it, as then it is
not so apt to tangle. Instead Of the
water bath a sun bath alone will make
the hair fresh and sweet, and, together
with brushing, does much to keep it
in good order
