oil Hair.

Will you kindly give me a formula for a hair tonic, which will prevent my hair from becoming oily? It seems that just after I wash my hair 1t Is dry and fluffy, but in a short time Ca week or greasy and feel moist. I wish my hair to look dry and fluffy all the time and suppose the oily condition Is due to some undue secretion. My hair Is very long and of about the average thick ness though not as thick as I would pre- fer. It seems to me that considering the amount of hair I have 1t should stand out from the head and appear attractive, but such is not the case. My hair is perfectly straight and in supposed healthy state. Tn regard to the scalp. there seems to be no great amount of dandruff, but unless my hair is washed very often the scalp will itch awfully Awaiting your reply. with the best of wishes. Sincerely. B.

Superfluous Hair.
 Mile. Merlyn, Buffalo, N. Y.
 I will be greatly pleased if you will send me recipe for lotion which kills the roots of. hairs. Truly yours
 MRS. M. K. The best method of removing super fiuous hair has often been described. When the hair is coarse and inclined to be obstinate 1t is very good idea to use the needle. When, on the other hand fl. Is very fine, depilatory must be emr we'd. Then, too, in many in- stances : is very necessary to use a depilatory because of the cost of the electric needle. The remedies come in many forms. though usually as a pow der or a liquid, and will be found eff fective when properly used.
 For Sleeplessness.
 R. c. D.-For sleeplessness caused by overwork or nervous exhaustion here are two simple effective remedies. One Is to have the feet very warm and put them against a rubber bag filled with very hot water. A rubber bag is better than an earthen bottle, as 1t will retain the heat for hours. The second method Is much simpied. It is simply to discard the pillow, turn over and lie on the stomach, with hands clasped under the forehead to lift the head a trif1e. This will often send one to sleep.

Tender Feet.

Bertha C.-1f your feet are inclined to be tender, powder the inside of your stocksings with boracic powder. Boracic lamentations are excellent for tender toe joints and bunions, and are made by dis solving an ounce of boracic powder in boiling water, and saturating a piece of lint with this when cold. The lint is laid on the joint, and a piece of oiled silk laid over to prevent evaporation and the whole bandaged to keep 1t in place.

Arm pevelopn ent.

Arm DcNSIOpHlCnt'
 Golden, N Y. Dear A4adam:
 My hnds and arms are so thin. Can you tell me what to do for them? AS short sleeves are so fashionable now, and on this account I cannot wear them very well. Will Melorose cream increase the growth of hair? I have good- shaped neck, but I ain thin and my collar bone shows so Can I fill out the hollows any way? Can one use the needle to kill superfiuous hair safely at home? Is there any lotion or cream that will destroy the roots forever and not scar the face? Hope to hear from you soon. ESTEbl1A. See answer to Mrs. M. K. in regard to superfiuous hair. Massage the arms nightly with Melorose cream: use 1t also to fill out the hollow in the neck Do not expect to accomplish this in one or two treatments-it will take quite some time and faithful painstal1ing work,
 Chapped Hands.
 Chapped hands are caused by insuf- ficient drying or too cold water. To keep the hands in good condition, they should be washed in tepid water, soft ened by a spoonful of borax. Use soap of good quality, and when drying the hands take the precaution of rub bing each hand separately. If the hands are rubbed owed once day wls a slice of lemon and a little cold cream, or if mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night there will be little danger of the skin becoming chapped or rough. Rub well with rose water, glycerine and

pink but the color is gradually fading away, and they seem to be cracked, the ridges running up and down. Please tell me also how to develop my hips.
 A. McD. White spots on the nails generally are caused by there being too much acid in the blood, and corrugated nails often arise from nervous debility. A small quantity of olive oil may be warmed and rubbed well into the hands. Cold cream rubbed into the hands helps to keep them soft and white.
 An orange stick should be we'll soaked in water before using it under the finger nails, and if they are very sensitive, cover the head of the orange stick with piece of an old thin kid glove.

 Mile. Merlyn:
 Do you believe there is anything that will take off fat and make person thin through the body? If so, will you please answer in the woman's page in The AgeHerald.
 READER or THE AGE-HERALD. Lie extended on the floor, supporting yourself by one hand, while the other is placed upon the hip. While holding this position raise the body gradually from the floor until the whole weight Is supported by tine hands and feet It is comparatively easy to get the body from the floor as far as the knees. but to bring 1t up to the full extent just described is not easy at first It should be tried first on one side and then on the other.
 To remove the tan use lemon juice. Cut the lemon in two, and have 1t In the soap dish on your washstand, and when you wash your hands, after they are ceansed, rub the hands with the half of the lemon. It Is excellent for the nails, too. Spirits of camphor is good for whitening the hands. If the skin is dry and the hands are inclined to be rough one should use some preparation of an oily nature. Camphor ice is one of the best for this purpose, as the cam phor in the ointment whitens the hands. If one is obliged to have the hands in water much of the time, grease should be used plentifully to keep the hands from becoming rough and dry
