Men who Scalp Themselves.

eve still find mcn who have unlimit-
ed faith in tie old fashioned idea OF
giving their hair 100 strokes with the
brush night and morning" said the
old barber. Some Of them are not
content with the old fashioned hog S
brstle brush. They use wire brush
electric or otherwise It's all fake.
\ brush drags out the hair by the roots
much more quickly than n comb. y
man who wants To save his hair should
use the brush as little rs possible. with
women II is different. They have thick.
long hair. and II II is not brushed
daily IT Is likely To fall out. BESIDES. u
brush gives gloss 10 the hair. ana that's
what women like. But with man q
healthy head Of hair looks as well
without the gloss rs with II. All that
Is necessary for him is 10 keep the
scalp clean and use the comb. He has
very little use for the brush."-NeW

Whore White Ants Are Useful

A white ants nest IS about the last
thing I'm the world one would expect 10
be OF practical service TO mankind, yet
I'm Western Australia white ants and
their nests are put to variety Of eco
nomiC uses.
In the first place, the aborigines
sometimes eat the ants. and there are
eyen few white residents who have
tasted them for the sake Of experience
and say they are not bad. But 1t is
not a habit with the aborigines TO eat
the insects. They prefer to devour the
mold out OF which the ants build their
nest.
Capital ovens are frequently impro-
vlsed by the Australian prospector out
of these white ant mounds. They make
solid floor, almost like cement for
the settlers huts and In the township
Of Derby, in Western Australia, they
have been turned to profitable use 10y
being rolled In as top layer on the
public roads
