GOOD ToNIcs FOR THE HAIR.
Mixtures That Have Proved Success.
full in Many Cases.

An interesting story is told of a
girl of 10, who suddenly and unac-
countably lost all her hair. In de-
spair her mother sent for the doctor,
who told her to have the childs head
shaved and to wash 1t three times n
week with a mixture formed of one
half ounce of coloquintida and pint
of good Jamaica rum. The family
tried 1t, and to their surprise the rem
edy was successful, for not only did
the hair return, but 1t grew out a
beautiful golden shade.
The juice of lemon applied to the
scalp is said to be a remedy for the
falling of dark hair. and anotE',,
strange hair tonic is made of three
common onions STEPPED IN quart of
rum for "a hours.
A man whose eyes had been treated
by injections Of pilocarJne had new
growth OF hair at the age of 60. Rum
and castor oil, In equal parts. are
known to be one of the best hair
growers in existence.

Nal Boudets charges perform a manual OF
arms, which. II anything is more complicated than
mat which the soldier is compelled to learn. One
OF the prettiest sights imaginable is the series Of
evolutions which these policemen carry out
There are some tax-paying Chicagoans who SCOT
at pretty evolutions. but they, Mai Boudet claims
are not of the farseeing class. He points out
that the. drilling OF policemen in this manner
teaches them to handle themselves with grace and
ease and makes them ADLER In the duties they per-
form.
Only recently the beauty squad about 100 strong.

First Regiment armory. So perfect were the
lutions that even the soldiers were awed The po-
licemen formed revolving wedges. hollow squares

nations, the perfection OF which had taken them
months to accomplish.
The squad IL formed the order OF a military
company There is Mai Boudet at the head

Calming place on the Chicago police force To-
day Is perhaps az difficult feat the average
man of middle age would care to attempt and for
that reason the department is composed of the
best physques that the city can furnish. The same
is true OF the fire department the efficiency OF

bridge as form of entertainment,
hostesses are interested in inexpen-

What to serve depends largely on
the customs of the city and the time

the morning has been the favorite
hour. Play lasts from ten O'Clock I'M
til 1890, when cold lunch is served
on the card tables or in the shaded

This might consist of halves of
canteloupe, with few blackberries in
each piece; jellied gumbo in cups;
boned chicken or Virginia ham, car
rots and peas in aspic, tiny French
rolls, iced coffee, whole tomatoes
stuffed with chopped green peppers,
and olives covered with mayonnaise'

Such a menu can easily be prepared

dollars.
