CAUSE OF Badness.
Health Commissioner of Chicago
Says It Is Caused by the Hat.

~ 10 NohoNA Wy k2AO A6eRIs
Badness. premature and permanent,
is caused by the hat.
1t is not due to the weight. texture.
stiffness or heat of the hat so much as
it is to the fact that the hat girdles
the head like band, interfering with
the circulation of the blood and starry
ing the roots of the hair.
Badness can be prevented. Doubtless
it will be prevented when it comes TO
be generally understood that the hat
commonly worn by men and boys is the
cause. practically, Of all the premature
and permanent badness of the male
sex Frequent reference to the hat rs
the cause of badness is made in the
literature of the subject, but not in a
way to reach the public.
The blood supply necessary for the
growth and nutrition of the hair is re-
ceived by the scalp between the skin
and the bony skull, principally in front
of the ears, but also at the sides of the
forehead and behind the ears.
The Illustration shows these blood
vessels and the dotted line shows the
usual position of the hat rim.
That some men are bald and others
are not, although all wear hats. is due
to the difference in the shape of the
head. Badness appears to be peculiar
TO some families while others are ex-
empt. This gives rise to the idea that
badness is hereditary. 1t is the shape
of the head that makes the difference,
and the shape of the head that is in
fuenced by hereditary.
Some heads are so cone-shaped that
a hat fits like one length of stovepipe
over another, making pressure not only
on the sides but all around the head.
and this class becomes bald more fire.

SO shaped that the pressure of the hat

The Word "Please y

An American just returned from two
years residence in England was re-
Gently speaking of the different treat
ment accorded the word please there
and here. "In~England please is u
servants word solely; here gentlefolk
use it as WE'LL said the American, and
when the other Americans said that
they, having travelled themselves, knew
that as well as she did. she added
Yes. but you don't realize it until
you've tried to bring up children
abroad. At home my youngsters had
always been taught to say please In
England l soon found out that they
must not say it; if they did it stamped
them as under bred. Now that we've
returned to America the old school con-
servatives look askance at my children
and observe sententiously: Those lit
tie girls don't say please But SOON
er or later all parents in this country
will follow suit and please will become

years ago ma am and sir became

Home missionary work

We are poor and we can't afford to
bring up a girl the way girls grow Zip

Such Christianity and civilization as
this is an indication, not to mention
other indications fully warranting the

Correspondents Good Advice.

One of my correspondents writes:
Il can give you a recipe for a good
complexion that viii throw the green
soaps ana complexion brushes of the
various Nine. Squee Gees into the
shade. 1t is this: Give up every kind
of sweet. This does not mean only
pastry, candy and ice cream soda. 1t
includes fruits Of all kinds, fresh or
stewed. The rule is positive. Soups
must be eschewed equally. Your physi-
clan must give you d tonic, including Il
mild laxative. Your diet outside Of
sweets and soups can be generous. This
is the prescription of a famous physi-
clan who has treated thousands of
compilations and always with success,
and the wherefore is simple 4 bad

pepsia, which is caused by the irritaL-
ing quality of sugar. Sugar is fermen-

THE investigation from when these
figures have been derived was made in
the year 1891. In the following year the
chief of the New York labor bureau
estimated that the cost of living had on
the whole become chea per since 1880
OevasSeur, the American Workman,
p. 409) During the period of industrial
depression that elapsed since 1891 the
price of the principal necessafies of life
was considerably less than at that date
bulletin No. % of the department of
labor, p. 263) In 1900, however, the cost
of living was 6 per cent higher than
in 1890: since that time there has been
an additional increase (Dun's Review.
Jan. 4, 1902. Therefore, ut the time
that the quota tons in our list were
obtained the price of the necessa-ie
and comforts of life was. to say the
least. not exceptionally high, being
lower than it had been ten years be-
fore lower than it was ten years later,
and notably lower than it is at present
(Feb., 1902.
"Againf the families whose eXpendi-
lures are contained in this list were
engaged in the cotton industry. They
lived consequently in the smaller cities
where most of the conditions Of living
could be had as caeaply as in the larg-
er cities, Willie the outlay for house
accommodations, CIR rides. recreation,
and all social position, would be small
er than in the great centers of popu-
lation.
I'VE may conclude. then, that a year
ly income of from $500 to $500 is, in the
case of any American laborer, an ire
ducible minimum. Making an allow
ance of 10 per cent for lost time, tie
average number of working days in the
year is 2S2 (Cf. Levasseur, op. cit. p.
399, and Spahr, Present Distribution of
Wealth in the United States. p. 1907.
The income just named would, there
fore. be equivalent to 81 per day. 1
call this an irreducible minimum be-
cause it seems to be that any smaller
is certainly insufficient
for decent living. Whether this wage
is itself a full living wage l do not un-
dertake to say In certain sections of
the country, where both the cost and
the standard of living are below the
average. the question might perhaps be
answered in the affirmative. Speaking
however, the estimate which
places a family living wage at $500 to
$500 per year, or 50 per day, must be
regarded as doubtful"
