is a periodical condition analogous to
the moulting of birds and furry ami
mails. 1t is usually in the fall that the
hair comes out the worst. At this sea-
son it may seem a little thin for a
time, but will grow in nearly as fast
as il has come out.
An excellent receipt for keeping the
hair in good condition is mixture of
castor oil and rum; about four parts
of rum to one of oil. Rub this into
the roots every few days. In a short
time you will notice that soft, new hair
is coming in.
The excessive brushing of the hair
in vogue a year or two ago has been
abandoned by many women, who have
found that it did the hair more harm
than good if the practice was long con-
tinued. 1t has been severely condemn
ed by some of the best hair dressers
as injurious.
Massaging the scalp gently tends to
keep it in healthy condition, stimulat-
ing the circulation and keeping the
head free from dandruff.

Some household supergtitions.

The gifts of a knife cuts friendship:
in handling a needle the eye and not
the point must be extended. The drop
ping of a dishcloth betokens a visitor,
and he or she will be an entire stranger
should a cock crow in the doorway 1t
is unlucky to cut the nails on Friday,
although the Arabians, on the con-
trary, religiously observe that day for
the purpose. If you sing before break
fast you will cry before supper, and if
you stumble upstairs you will not be
married during the year. Putting on
the left shoe first is regarded as an
omen of i'll. Augustus Caesar put his
left sandal on before his right one, and
nearly lost his life the same day in a
mutiny That had nothing to do with
it, of course, and Butler in his "Hudi-
bras" scores him for the silly notion.

POOR WOMAN.

Chicago Record Herald.)
Fate and man have used her i'll,
Poor woman,
Hers is a wretched role to fill,
Poor woman,
She may not sin as man may sin,
And after wandering astray
Be welcomed back and taken in
Her stains are never washed away.
Poor woman-ah, poor woman
She must forever be on guard
Poor womani
Her case is very, very hard,
Poor woman!
The license that she gives to men
Is not for ber-she wills it SO
She gladly pardons man. but when
Her sister pleads she answers no,
Poor woman-ah, poor woman!
She must forever hide her years,
Poor wOmani
Instead of strength she has her tears,
Poor woman
Man argues with his fists but she,
In case her sister is unfair,
May only weep, or angrily
Rush in and 90 to pulling hair
Poor woman-ah, poor woman!
The money that man earns she spends,
Poor woman
She has to strain to beat her friends,
Poor woman
And. If she's beautiful and gay
And keeps herself trimmed up in STYLE
What man must labor for she may
Obtain for Just a little smile
Poor woman-ah, poor woman!

Since we are grass and like a brief
day of years at best, what is the use of
so much anxious care, of so much fuss
ing and fretting? What is the good of
boarding money for other people to ruin
themselves with when you are dead?
What is the good of hating your neigh
Dor? What is the sense of trying to act
a part, of seeming to be other than we
are? What is the gain of guile or envy
or evil speaking? What? ] should like
to know. For, since you are grass, you
shall soon lie down in the grave. God
knows you and 1 do not want our
dreams in that sleep of death to be Of
hate or malice or evil speaking. Then
be swift to forgive.

AGAINST LONG SKIRTS.
They Gather Filth Which Contains
Disease Germs.

Disease Germs.
Aprcpos Of skirts, perhaps you may
remember a newspaper story stating
that the Bayonne IN. j. board Of
health is much against The wearing Of
cong skirts upon the street, holding the
theory that the skirts gather up much
filth containing disease germs. To
prove this theory correct they sent sew
eral women in trailing gowns out upon
the streets of the town 10 walk about
for an hour. At the END OF that time
the skirts We're taken and examined.
Upon the hens and hounces We're
found microbes Of tuberculosis, fevers,
children's diseases and others or even
more dangerous character.
ii would seem, therefore, that femi-
nine vanity, as expressed in the trail
Sng gown. is responsible for much Of
the spread Of disease, bringing it into
the household in the Sathered-up dust
of the streets.
To continue the pleasing subject of
microbes and bacteria, at the present
time, in Everett. a lady is suffering
from a severe skin trouble, which ap-
peared about her mouth and nose. The
doctor was unable to account for her
having contracted such a disease.
Careful inquiry revealed the fact that
a few days previous to the appearance
of the eruption she had come into Bos-
ton to the theatre, and being obliged
to stand in the car, she had protected
her white gloves from being soiled by
The strap by holding her handkerchief
in her hand. Later in the evening she
had touched her lips and nose with it.
THE handkerchief remained in the opera
bag just as she placed it on the night
in question. and when it was examined
by the physician it was found to con-
tain the germs OF the disease with
which the lady was suffering.
1t isn't agreeable to go about in con-
tinual fear of the ever present ard re-
ientless little microbe, but it is well to
he scared enough to he oareful.-Marie
Rideau in Boston Republic.

Whistling Is Beneficial.

The old adage about whistling girls
has received its best blow in the dis
covery made by German and Swedish
professors of physical training that
whistling is very beneficial to the
health. In fact, they claim that as a
strengthened and a prolonger of life
it is admirable, especially strengthen
ing the chest and neck muscles. The
practice of whistling should, however,
be constant and systematic to produce
these good results. Long, deep breath
ing is essential for a good whistler.
Drill exercises are given by these for
eign professors in breathing and eX-
pelling the air from the lungs while in
a recumbent position.

LETTER WRITING.
Old Folks at Home Crave For Good,
Long Letters.

-4@CIlCIo
The age of letter writing is past-at
least for some of us. School girls write
voluminous epistles and so dolovers; but
everybody else in these utilitarian days
is too busy-too much engrossed with
daily cares and daily occupations to
take time to write a letter of even or
binary length. And it's such pity.
Letters are the most delightful things
in the world, and the mailman who
brings a coveted epistle is almost
looked upon as an angel in disguise
This is especially true of those who are
away from home, or of those at home
expecting letter from an absent one.
So many adopt the practice of inditing
only the scrappiest and most abbrevi-
ated epistles, even to those they love,
epistles that don't contain a bit Of
their real selves, nor give any sort Of
an intelligent or Ineligible account of
what they are doing, enjoying or suf-
fering.
The old folks at home crave for good
long letters. 1t is as the breath of
life to them to feel they are in the very
presence of their children when they
open the weekly epistle that should let
them into the veriest details, but too
often merely skins the surface of
events.
They may not say much: possibly
they never complain; but they just
ache for sheets of news concerning lit
tie things as we'll as great, the color
of the autumn frock just ordered, the
name of the book last read, the i'm
preston created by the concert lately
attended.
Even those who write regularly
one a week or. oftener-to their par
ents, do so in such a perfunctory spirit
that, but for the satisfaction of know
ing they are alive and cleaning that
they are we'll. the letters give little sat
isfaction to their recipients. Yet how
those recipients yearn, for more than
is given them!

.showing Off, Their Children.

so Obvious of the sensitiveness of
child that they will speak of his faults
in his presence and ask advice about
the best way to control him, in the
same cool manner that they allude to
his attacks of Group and discuss rem

sit still under torment would be both
pitiful and indignant at the situation.
Of all things let us avoid exploiting
oRr children either in the way of ex-
hibiting their projections or their
weaknesses. certain loyalty is due

close confidant of all his moods it is a

caIly under one management is rapid
~ approaching, and the day when the
government will own and operate these
public necessities for the benefit of the
whole people instead of a syndicate of
multi-millionaires will not be much
farther away. That is as plain as day
to any sensible observer of public al
fairs. If the new democracy will en-
large its declaration upon this point
and make determined fight for this
principle it will not only strengthen
itself but will further the cause of lib
erty which it represents. Remember
Lincoln's words, "until all wealth
shall be concentrated in the hands of
few and all liberty shall be lost "
The smashing of private monopoly
must be accomplished. All are agreed
upon that. The only means is gov
eminent ownership of public utilities.
1t is idle to talk of breaking up the
power of concentrated wealth in any
other way. True political progress
points to government ownership.
Then why not be brave, and speak
out, and get into the fight where the
battle is on? 1t is idle to plead for
justice for ourselves or people of 9TH
er countries as long as our govern
ment is in the hands of the syndicates.
Syndicate ownership of the govern
ment must cease if free institutions
are to survive. The party that will
present this issue and honestly and
determinedly champion the same will
eventually accomplish it's object, re-
gardless of it's name.
