WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

4 =
HAIR WHICH BREAks.-My hair breaks
so badly that 1t Is all ragged and UNI
even, aItho | shampoo It every week.
What can do to help It?--Mrs. F. q. J.
When the hair grows readily and yet
never attains any considerable length,
wears off and breaks on the slightest
it is due to the treatment of
the hair and not a disease of the scalp.
AS you are very restless sleeper, braid
ing the hair tightly and looping it under
in the nape of the neck before retiring
Is very detrimental and is largely respon-
sible for it's worn, uneven length. Braid
1t loosely after brushing and confine the
end only with a narrow ribbon Instead
Of shampooing every week-which is too
often for hair inclined to be very dry
keep the hair clean by thoro brushing,
and shampoo only once month"; Get
& bottle Of pure vaseline, part the hair
and with the finger tips go over the en-
tire scalp, rubbing in all that it will abb
sorb, but no more. When the work is An
ished there should be, no suspicion Of Of
fensive greasiness. 1t is best to have
another person do this work for you, to
avoid daubing the hair. For the hair
dressing-and 1t Is also excellent rubbed
into the scalp, to soften the hair pre-
vent it's falling out and promote it's
growth-have the following mixture pre-
pared by the druggist: One ounce castor
oil one ounce alcohol six ounces bay rum,
three drains tincture of cantharides, one
ounce oil Of rosemary and thirty drops oil
Of lemon. Shake well and apply once or
twice each day, slightly dampening the
| hat

NJ. H. Tultshivsky, the founder and
one of the editors Of the Odeskija Novo-
sit, died last month in Odessa. Many
public men followed his bier to the jew
ish cemetery, where eulogies were de-
livered by Jews and non-Jews.
The first step towards the establish
ment of permanent synagogue IN the
South East London district was taken
on Wednesday afternoon, when the foun-
dation stone of new place OF worship
on the New Cross Roads was laid by Mr..
Osmond E. d'Avigdor Goldsmid. The
synagogue will provide accommodations
on the ground floor for 200 gentlemen, in
the gallery for $50 ladies' The total cost
is estimated at $4,000.
The Jewish Colonization association
has completed arrangements to found
large colony in northern Brazil. The
colony will be known as the "Philipp-
son Colony According to the plans
eighty families will be brought over;
each will be furnished with home, agri-
cultural implements, cattle, seed and
about sixty-ive acres of arabic land.
The climate Of the colony resembles close
ly that of Portugal, and for this reason
it is hoped that it will be well suited for
the Jewish farmers The government.
as well as the railroads, has granted
many concessions and privileges to the
"Philippson Colony" and therefore
great things are expected from it by the
founders
There is possibly no country in the
world where Jews suffer more than in
Persia While there are but compara-
lively few Jews in Persia, still they are
SO hated and maltreated that their misery
and suffering is well nigh incredible. The
Jews in Persia are mostly small traders
or peddlers who go from village to village
and in this manner exc out their miser-
able existence. AS the laws Of that
country are lax it is no unusual occasion
that peddler is robbed of his goods
and beaten out Of the village without be-
ing able to seek protection or restitution
from the existing government. The
wretchedness Of the situation is increased
by the very early marriages, whereby
young people are forced to take care of
infants and children when they can hard
ly take care Of themselves. Of late a
school has been erected in Schiras, one of
the largest Jewish centers in Persia
which will try as much as possible to him
der those early marriages, besides teach
ing the young people how to read and
write. In addition to all this entire
families are occasionally forced to en-
brace Islam in order to save their lives.
Such is the condition Of our co-religiOn-
