REGARD for the Aned

I love old people: in each time-worn
face
l see the tender wisdom of the years;
The gold thice purified. the perfect
grace
Of mellow love and tears.
They are as one with us; the ills we
bear
They know the burden of. for they
have borne
The worlds unyielding load of heavy
care,
The thistles with the corn.
They roam the fields of childhood with
the child
For, they We're children once, and
know their ways;
They know just where the yellow
king-cups smiled
In springs dear distant days.
They place cool hands upon our burn
ing hearts.
Knowing so we'll Just where the fever
lies:
Knowing that sweet relief the touch
imparts
When thus they sympathize.
When Death claims some one near 70
us, and dear.
They having suffered loss can under
stand
How welcome silence is-the voiceless
tear,
The tender clasp of hand.

Dont's for the Hair.

Don't use comb to spread the pom
padour by pulling the hair forward
over the forehead.
Don't comb the hair from the fore
head over backward when arranging
to brush it. II the hair be long an6
heavy the strain comes on the front
hairs with each stroke of the brush
If they do not fracture and fall out
at once, they become loosened in he
follicle and drop out later.
Avoid vigorous brushing; bear ir
mind that one hair on the head is
worth two in the brush
Don't use curriers' or kids during
sleeping hours.
Don't grasp the front hair by the
points or ends and comb upward from
points to roots, 'roughing it" in order
to make full, round pompadour. This
needless abuse destroys life and luster
Fractures the hair shaft renders il
knotty and produces a frumpy, aged
appearance.
Don't scrub the hair line with a facial
brush; pin a small towel over the hair
before you commence operations with
a facial brush
Don't scrub facial cream into the
hair line when using it on the face, as
it fills the follicles with fatty sub
stance and prevents proper growth.
Don't shampoo too frequently to keep
the hair fluffy.
Don't take everybody's advice and
do all sorts of things to your hair and
scalp.
