SUN ON THE HAIR.

There Is. no better tonic for the
hair than sunshine. Sit outdoors In
the sunshine an hour every day.
Loosen the hair and let the sun shine
on II end the air blow through II. In
the summer days go without hat
as much as possible. The anir needs
to be ventilated to keep IL healthy.
Airing and summing the hair every day
not only keeps II sweet and clean,
but is good for the scalp also. The sun
will soon cure any disease OF the scalp
and make It healthy and active, and a
healthy scalp makes strong, beautiful
hair. Brushing the hair every day, "a
hundred strokes" as our grandmothers
used TO say. will make IL soft and
glossy as silk.
