Three Hair Specialists.

Three of the leading authorities on
the scalp and hair are Woods Hutchn-
son. M. D.. and DR.. ]. c. Bayles of New
York, and DR.. LaSsar of Germany.
Anything these celebrated writer's may
say is the result of long experience ana
thorough investigation, and largely in
fluenceS the whole medical prOfesSiCE.
1t is remarkable that all three of these
authorities agree absolutely that the
first and foremost thing to do in
treating hair and scalp troubles is to
keep the head clean by frequent wash
ing DR. Lassar says that the first step
in treating dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair is to keep the scalp clean
by washing This should be done daily
in the beginning. and as the scalp as
sumes more normal condition one"
week will be sufficient to keep the
hair and scalp healthy. Woods Hutton
inson, NJ. D.. says: The main hope of
stopping the advance of badness lies
in the direction of improving the gen.
era health and vigor. while at the
same time keeping the scalp and hair
in a clean, antiseptic. well-ventilate1
condition. Avoid using too strong
soaps. strong alkalis, such as ammonia
and soda, and too hot water. as all If
these take out too much OF the nat
ural lubricant. or oil, of the hair. and
leave it dry and harsh" Dr. j. G.
Bayles says: The only thing the lay
man can do to avert badness is to
keep the head clean and cool" Modern
thought is all in the direction Of
cleanliness, as the opinions of these
three eminent men go to show. TIE
day Of fake tonics. reviewers. growers
and invigorators is close at hand. The
public has been defranded so long that
nothing but worthy things will find a
sale. Falling hair, itching scalp and
dandruff cannot be cured by fakes ard
frauds. The only sure way to benefit
the hair and scalp is to keep them
clean and free from dust and disease
germs For this purpose Brits Head
Wash. the new scientific preparation is
most highly recommended because 1t
is made Of Refined Soap. White -

of any leading vaudeville house in this

AMUSEM ENTS,
The Old Homestead Tuesday, Nov. IS.

Just as twenty three years ago a
preceding generation of playgoers re
joced in the rustic simplicity and uE-
affected goodness of the characters of
Denman Thompson's THE Old Home
stead" and laughed at their homely
ways and rough humOr, so this the
twenty third season of the play, finds
a new generation of theatregoers who
mingle laughter with tears as they lis
ten to the humor and pathos of dear
old Uncle Josh. Although not to be
taken as a model of dramatic con-
struction, and of little moment from
the viewpoint of literature to which it
should be said in justice that it does
not pretend. yet it has that atmosphere
of human kindness, that sane and
healthy outlook upon life and morals
that render it doubly welcome as
breath of fresh air in the midst of a
plethora of products OF the dramatic
dollhouse No effort of intellect, TO
strain upon the Imagination, no sound
ing of the deeper emotions is required
of an audience, and it is probably just
these facts that explain in large
measure it's long lease upon life. No
doubt thousands of present day play
goers date back their earliest recollec-
tons of the theatre to a performance
of THE Old Homestead" and surely
for the youth Of the country no better
introduction could be asked than this
homely picture of the simple virtues
and diversions of farm life in New
England.
