weeks before improvement may be

In the way OF tools, two hair brushes,
with firm, but not harsh bristles, are
absolutely necessary. The only tonic
required may be bought for ten cents.
Don't take any scented emollients, but
buy OF an honest druggist the we'll
known lanolin. an unpatented article,
nearly as cheap as lard, and as old as
Cleopatra, who is said to have owed
the preservation Of her youth and beauty
to it's use. 1t is extracted from sleeps
wool by an art which, after having been
lost for centuries, was rediscovered
about II years ago by German profess
sor, who is probably going about with
shiny pate, while women are improv-
ing hair and complexion by the use Of
his discovery.
: Before applying the lanolin see that
the scalp and hair are clean. If not
convenient to have the head shampooed.
wiring wash cloth out of ammoniated
water and use briskly, rinsing several
times, and finishing with dry, coarse
owels.
Mix the lanolin with a soupcon of
yaseline or olive oil to make it less salve-
like. and apply with the tips Of the
fingers, using both hands for the pur-
pose. Divide the hair into four parts
and rub the ointment into the roots, be-
ginning at the forehead and working
from the middle to the side partings.
Then begin at the back, and work up.
Use little ointment, but plenty of brisk
massage. II the treatment is given
with sufficient care, there should be
little greesiness anywhere but on the
scalp, but If the lanolin is applied at

hair well. Take in each hand, divide

center and brush upward SO strokes. Civ

both sides in the same way. The back
may be done all at once, fastening the
long hair on top and brushing it sep

these instructions are literally followed.
Ten minutes brushing every morning is
sufficient, and the exercise is excellent.
When the need for the emoliient ceases
the brushing may be done at night. and
clean brushes are an important part of

Too fatiguing;' too much trouble
many will say. but if the directions are
strictly followed for the time mentioned
no persuasion will be needed to con-
hnue. Fifty strokes with a hair brush
takes less than one minute, and the hair
that is brushed out is dead stuff that
needs to come away to make room for
the new growth. which will be seen to
