HEALTH IN HATLESSNESS.
The Sun on the Hair Kills Microbes--
Ventilation Cures Catarrh.


Ventilation Cures Catarrh.
From an article which appeared in
| Cosmos and translated for the Liter
airy Digest we learn that the new fash
| ion of going without a hat is not linn
| tied to this country. According to
| the writer, it has everything hygien-
ically in its favor and the arguments
against it need only be stated to be
refused. He says:
THE mass Of hair that covers the
top of the head is feature of the
human race in both sexes and appears
to be one of it's most stable physical
characteristics. Nevertheless lOng
observation is unnecessary to prove
that this characteristic is weakening
and that the vigor of the hair is de-
creasing in man. Now q question
presents itself: Is this due to transfor-
nation Of the species or must we ut
tribute the fact to mans habits? This
second solution appears to be correct,
which is consoling, since it allows us
to hope that the evil may be checked.
This loss of hair that has become
more striking from one generation to
to some scientists, to the habit of
covering the head.

arteries of the scalp, which bring

they are convinced that if the habit
of leaving the head uncovered is ad

There are several things very com

practice of boxing children's ears.

thin membrane, especially adapted to

to support it internally What. then

any one designed to break or over
