An Itching Scalp.

Mary r. C.-For itching scalp there
Is nothing so good as massage. Have
your hair and scalp shampooed every
four or five weeks. To pint of warm
water add two raw eggs beaten until
they are light, then wash the hair
thoroughly and rinse well in several clear
waters. In the last rinsing water squeeze
the juice of lemon.
Brushing the hair and rubbing the scalp
with the finger tips will do much to keep
the growth healthy and fine. Twenty-four
hours before shampooins rub warm olive
oil into the scalp.
Tonic and grower for oily hair: Forty
grains resorcin, one-half ounce of alcohol,
one-half ounce of witch hazel. one ounce

Cleaning Grimy Hands.

Dear Mile. Merlyn.
Will you please tell me how can clean
my hands when they are very grimy
Soap and water do not always do the
work. n. Il.
When the hands are filled with Crime
il is a mistake 10 try TO remove 1t with
soap and water. Rub generously with
vaselne or olive oil let this remain 10
minutes; it lousens the dirt; then fill a
bowl with warm water never hot, and
use a good soap and 4 brush with rather
soft bristles. IL another washing is
needed, use it, and perhaps more OF the
grease. but do not leave the CRIME in the
skin.
