How to Comb the Hair

"Few people really know how to
comb their hair remarked woman
who has a glorious crown of her own,
probably because early in life she set
herself to learn how to take the right
care of it. "The average woman, dres-
sing in hurry will dig the comb in
to her hair, and if snarl happens
she tugs at it until a whole bunch of
loose hair comes out by the roots.
Naturally any self-respecting hair
would come out under such treat
ment.
''The hair can't be combed too much
but it should be done lightly, smooth
ly, and, when it comes to brushing,
don't choose the hardest brush you
can find and go at your head as if
you had spite against it. The
scalp ought to be warmed up, but
not punished.
Personally, think a gentle mas
sage, done with the tips of the fing
and consequently the hair. People
talk about hair tonics-and no doubt
occasion tonic is needed when the
hair has tendency to dryness-but
the best thing about the tonic is the
massage the scalp gets when it is
applied. Most scalps have enough
natural oil, lying more or less dor
mani, and rubbing brings it out.

coaxed out fine head of hair on her

minutes every morning and night. -

pockets hang book of flannel leaves

pockets for bindings, stay casing, but

HOME LIFE

The water in milk holds the nutrients
in solution or in suspension which
makes them easily digested. The car
bohydrates are represented in the
form of milk sugar which Is heat
producer but it also has value as a
building agent When milk sours it
separates into two parts, whey and
curd. This curd or casein is known
as the protein constituent of the milk.
1t serves as a building material and
for replacing broken down tissues.
The fat in milk is easily recognized,
but instead of being found in solution
globules. Those globules rise to the
top ina mass called cream. We usual
ly think of the fat content of milk as
a measure of its nutritiveness. AS a
matter of fact the amount of fat is
very small measure of the milk as a
food. The amount of casein and al
bumenoids is what is taken into con-
sideration when the value of milk as
a food Is estimated.
The food value of different milks
vary to great extent. This is due
largely to the difference in breeds.
There are breeds which are best
known as the butter breeds, such as
the Jerseys, and those known as milk
breeds, such as the Holsteins. Food
and surroundings have much to do
with the character of the milk as to
| taste, purity and cleanliness. Cows
should not be fed on strong food such
as turnips, carrots, ETC., because the
milk will be tainted and ruined for
| table purposes. The cream will also
| be tainted and the flavor of the but.
| ter will be materially changed. The
water that stock drink must be be-
yond suspicion for it is certain that
many of our most fatal diseases, such
as typhoid fever, are largely gotten
from water which is contaminated
with sewerage or ground water. Ty
phoid fever has often been brought
to city homes through milk purch
ased on the market. Whether typhoid
germs may be in the milk when
drawn or whether they get into the
utensils used for keeping it is ques
ton which has not as yet been def
niteiy settled. But in either case the
water used must be absolutely pure
and free from disease producing
germs.

Milk a Valuable Food

There is, perhaps, no one food which
Is so common to all people as milk.
The people of the north and south
alike find it a delicious food. Wher-
ever man and animals live milk is
the common means of subsistence.
According to DR.. Smith it is found
that the English workman uses about
80 ounces weekly while the Irishman
uses 1875 ounces in the same time
A large number of experiments have
been carried on within the last few
years and it has been found that if
man were compelled to live on only
one food, probably that one food had
best be milk-though generally speak
ing milk is only a perfect food for
the young. Man would be compelled
to take very large quantities in order
to secure enough nutriment to pro-
duce both energy to work and build
ing material necessary to repair brok-
en- down tissues Then, too, the or
gans used for the digestion of the
heavier foods (the .lower part of the
stomach) would be inactive and would
in time become powerless, while all
the work of digestion would be forced
into the upper part of the stomach.
Animals thrive best on variety OF
foods, so also man. He must have a
large amount of food in the digestive
tract to keep all the different parts
working and in good order. Milk like
most other foods contains carbohyd
rates, fats, protein, mineral salts ant
water. OF this about 81 per cent is
water, so it can readily be seen thai
large amount must be taken in order
to secure a great deal of actual food
