HAIR TIPS.

Before dressing the hair rub little
bTilliantine into the roots with the
tips of the finger. and brush with a
baby brush. This makes the hair
beautifully glossy and keeps IL ap-
proximately tidy.
Don't forget 10 have the hair thor
oughly cut and singed every three
months: it is not sufficient to have
long hair clipped Special attention
should be paid to the weak new hairs
that spring up all along the central
parting.
Don't forget TO brush the hair for
ten minutes with a flexible brush.
This may make the head little tender
at first, but tenderness soon wears
off
Don't wear pads or additional tails
of hair and curls unless absolutely nec-
essary. Anything that prevents lieht
and air getting at the roots of the hair
is extremely bad.
Don't attempt TO restore gray or
faded hair yourself; II is best 10 leave
ii entirely alone. IL dyeing is desir-
able have it done by skilled hands.
Don't use cheap hairplns or combs ;
they are SO liable 10 drag and hreak
the hair.

THE ARMY WORM AND
ITS METHOD OF WORK
In Exceedingly. Destructive to

called army worms. and il is therefore

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes. the New York Legislature de-
cided 20 make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. II was pointed
ont by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits 10 policyholders. and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. II is estimated that the
cost OF the mismanagement Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholdeT. while the benefits
10 present and future policyholders
viii amount 10 many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cessiye cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime tlsa cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society i'm its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving OF over $4,000, 600 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses TO its total
income was 1926 in 1904. 1885 in
1905. and only 1i.4Seo in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to s. .2s9. .734
which was an increase of more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as il stands.

THICKER FABRICS COMING IN.

this spring for a novelty material

fabric with a ribbed surface. The
Inarquisette has been la mode two
years and continues in popularity. But

quirements
The new fabric is In evidence in all
colors but IL is particularly seductive
in pale green and old pink. Green was
