Man Should Brush Their Hair More

Every few men brush their hair
enough" said q downtown barber.
"Fact. Most ills Of the scalp can be
traced to that fault. You see It's this
way: A man is generally In n hurry
when he dresses, and he never takes
time to brush his hair-simply smooths
1t down, generally only with a comb
and as a result dandruff is allowed to
accumulate and trouble begins. Now.
with q woman It's different. A woman
has to carefully brush her hair at least
once a day. If she didn't it would be
a pretty mess. It's very length saves
her, for in brushing it each day she
gets out all sorts of impurities, dan
druff and the like. all Of which Is FOR
her own good. Now. that Is the chief
reason why fewer women suffer from
dandruff than the unfortunate mem
bers of the opposite sex. and it Is also
the reason why the hair Is a woman's
crowning glory even If she is fair
fat and forty. SO brush your hair
every morning thoroughly If you want
to keep In the swim."-Philadelphia

Very Much Needed in This
Day, Says Bishop

Let US not try to make the church
interesting by lowering il. An evening
dance in the lecture room will prob
ably not corrupt the people for that
evening, but the church will have al
ready lost all power TO command the
respect of every person. We can make
the church interesting only by making
it earnest. And in this age Of di-
vorcees. Of inconsistent living and Of
an unfettered and irreverent press. the
church needs very much indeed to be
in earnest"

been holding services in Grace NJ. Z.

His subject was The Pastor and the
Juvenile Candidate for Church Mem

warning Of the predominating inhu-

Emphasis of the need of the church
itself was his plea.
