The hair often needs to be toned up just
as your whole system does Falling of the
hair, dandruff and the abnormal oiliness
are all symptoms of an unwholesome con-
dition of the scalp. Before you begin any
treatment, give 1t a good cleansing. Brush
the scalp thoroughly, working out all the
dandruff. comb is as good as a brush
for this purpose, If you use 1t with a side
ward motion, lifting the dandruff instead Of
scraping the scalp. Next. brush the hair
Itself thoroughly. The hair should always
be cleaned in this way before the shampoo.
wash 1T with green soap once month, but
go through the brushing process evey week
Now as to the tonic. One of the quinine
tonics or pure alcohol ought to be benefi-
ciai to you, either will have a somewhat
drying effect. Use 1t every night until the
hair is better; but 1t is of far less i'm
portance than the massage which accom-
pantes 1t. 1t will stimulate and do more
for the health of the hair than any appli-
cation. Apply the tonic in very small GUAM
tity to the entire scalp, then begin the
work. Do you understand the massage
movement? Place the tips of the fingers
on the scalp, then move the scalp and not
the fingers with circular movement
Do not wash a tonic out OF the scalp di-
rectly Rub 1t in well. Remember that the
massage is more important than even the
tonic. You should keep up the circular
movement all over the scalp until you feel
pleasant glow. Do not wash the hair
more than once a week. Make the brush do
the work of the shampoo during the week.
Keep your brush clean.
If the skin is dry. give the face a warm
bath every night. That has a tendency to
increase its moisture. A good cream with
out glycerine is made by putting into jar
2 ounces of white wax. n ounce spermaceti
and 1 pint Of sweet oil. Place near the fire
and let melt slowly. If you have favorfte
perfume, add that. Oil of neroli is popular
just now for use in cosmetics. 1t is a re-
freshing, pungent odor Don't use a heavy
perfume for cold cream and tooth powder,
for 1t is always with you and you are sure
to tire of 1t.
