The general health has much to do
with the condition of the scalp and
hair.
Loss of vitality, internal derange-
ment. especially of the stomach, mani
tests itself in various ways. While ex-
ternal remedies aid matters, one must
go to the root of the trouble before
any lasting good is accomplished.
For example, dyspepsia will cause
the hair to become brittle and fall out,
and. until this condition is corrected,
the best professional treatment cannot
reach the inner causes, but when COM
bined with specific remedies, revitaliz-
ing the arrangements, success is very
sure to follow
Therefore, do not expect miracles
from hair tonics, without building up
from W thin.
When the scalp is dry and tight II
proves conclusively that the body
lacks essential oils. Hair tonic with
fragrant oils will, in a measure, sup
ply the lacking oil, but olive oil
should be eaten freely on lettuce and
taken so with a nut or two to remove
the oily flavor, if this is unpleasant to
the taste.
The diet should be carefully regulat-
ed as the food we eat and it's proper
assimilation determines the quality of
the blood.

dividends and interest on July 1, and
this, of course. is an element of support
in investment circles. There is an
abundance, however, of enterprises
seeking new capital, and consequently
no lack of opportunities to investors.
This is proved by the fact taat Moor
porations in June amounted to nearly
$500 0OO, 600, and were the highest in
any month since January, 1907. The
high level at which well established
securities are held, especially railroad
shares, is naturally forcing capital to
amounts of new issues during the last
few months have been very heavy, and
will be forthcoming, since various pro-
moters' schemes are known to be un-

however, a marked conservatism on
the part of bankers handling these is
the policy which prevailed before the
panic and which had much, to do in
bringing on that disaster. Our general
situation is eminently sound. 1t is true
we are on a pretty high level, and the
situation would be strengthened if a
partial revision of prices to a less in
f1aaed basis could be established. New
ertheless, there is no occasion for dis
couragement, and while the stock mar

however, look for any immediate pro-
nounced reaction. Pessimism does not
thrive on American soil, especially

form the simple duty of ventilating the
hair and scalp. Frequent baths of sun
and air go far in keeping it in good
condition Brushing the hair removes
light dandruff and stimulates the oil
glands. Spread your hair about the
shoulders several times week and let
the air and sunshine play upon it.
Shake it out we'll so that any close
doors will escape.
Brush the hair carefully every night
for five or ten minutes, using a firm,
gentle stroke this brings out the
ustre and high lights in the hair,
when it is light enough to reflect them.
Shampooing is necessary every
four weeks or five, according to the
condition of the hair. Oily hair re-
quires more frequent baths than a
dry scalp, but over ShampOOing is
most injurious, as it robs the scalp
of its natural oils and therefore causes
it to fall.
Let me say that this is a frequent
cause of shedding locks, and with the
approach of summer, women should
be careful not to indulge in this cool
ing process oftener than is good for
them.
A dry shampoo absorbs the dirt and
