 First make some thin toast for the mince, buttering the slices and putting them on the erving-dish under the stove. If you are keeping house you will probably have cold roast beef, beef steak or mutton on hand. which can be passed through the meat-chopper and used; otherwise. purchase a pound of Hamburg steak; do not have it chopped very fine and be sure it is made from tender meat free from gristle. Fry with onions and serve on toast.

When Hc are threatened with the loss of the wdist-line. the time for serious conSid- eration has come.
 As matter of fact, the spring styles are cause for Reorganization, partly because less material is required in the making, and the combinations of mate ri1is afford the most satisfactory coadi- tions for remodeling The vogue of the separate coat is another feature that will appeal for many reasons. IEe costume with skirt and waist corresponding or cut in princess. or united by the girdle that makes the princess effect, appeals especially strongly to the woman Of ma tl,re years. to whcn the separate waist always seemed lacking in dignity.

The lower plating may deepen into a point at the front and is at least four inches deep at the sides and back. Deep lace frills at the wrist are revived for both dress and coat sleeves, a fashion that should be welcomed for its good effect on the hand.
 Naturally, their use in the latter case will be confined to fancy coats; they would be rather out of place in sleeves of a severely plain tailored coat. These severely plain

 It is said that the life of hair is from two to six years, and that one can lose on an average fifty to sixty hairs a day. That 1 think is a large number Anxiety in regard to the hair IS aroused when it commences to fall out. The average man lives in terror of becoming bald, fate that usually overtakes him. A great German authority writing re- gently on the subject of badness, says that 1t can be combatted successfully If treatment IS begun as soon as the hair is seen to begin to fall.

 Harmony the Secret of Effectiveness
 In gathering together the materials for gown, harmony, not contrast, is the idea to bear in mind While differ ent tones of one color may be employed to advantage, no second color enters the composition this season, except in tiniest touches in the trimmings. In the matter of favorite colors, darker shades have the preference, and black, either alone or in combination with white-"Magpie combination" 1t is

 Buttons Feature of the Coming Styles
 Buttons grow rather than decrease in favor, and are used alike on waists, skirts or coats. The wooden mold is the usual foundation, though if a diff ferent shape Ca square, for instance) is wanted, tle foundation may be cut from stiff cardboard.

 There is prejudiced idea that black is unbecoming to woman of advanc ing years, but there IS really no founda ton for this notion; quite the contrary, in fact. No matter what the color of the gown, its treatment, at the neck de- termines its effect upon the face. That is why the chemisette and small yokes of lace or soft white chiffon have estab- lished themselves so firmly, and the newest neck pieces show an increased

hair seem dead, and the hair is falling out in quantities, one of the best things to stimulate the scalp and provoke a growth of hair IS the tincture of can tharides.
 Value of Cantharidss
 Used in full strength, it would prob ably blister most scalps To avoid this, it should be diluted with water to half or third of its strength. It is not pos sible to give definite directions, as the tenderness of the scalp varies so greatly with different people, but 1t should be used as strong as one can without blis- tering
 It should be applied to the roots of the hair every day or every other day according to the effect of the application. If the scalp is very red and irritated one should wait before making another application. It IS better to use 1t in this way by itself than to add it, as is so often done, to the hair tonics, for then the strength can be regulated as we'll as the length of time of its use. Castor oil
 Castor oil is often recommended for hair-tonics or incorporated in them. It is no better than tie oily substances al ready mentioned, and its odor makes it unpleasant.
 In those cases where the hair is fall ing alarmingly, shaving the scalp is re- sorted to. and undoubtedly with much benefit. The hair is shaved several times, or until marked improvement is shown. before it IS allowed to grow again.
 The annoyance of a wig or wearing cap IS very great; the head becomes heated, and 1t is q fact that the hair should be exposed freely to the air.

Brushing the hair is of little benefit. and sometimes is quite the contrary, as 1t drags the hair out It is much better to use the finger tips in the manner de- scribed. It IS supposed that badness is due to microbes, which can be carried from one head to another by means of combs, brushes and by the fingers of those who make profession of giving scalp massage. All combs and brushes should be kept scrupulously clean. One should always take her own when going to hair-dresser.
 Using Hair Tonics
 What is good hair tonic? The selec- tion of anything to be applied to the scalp for the benefit of the hair requires judgment. If the haM IS oily and sticky 1t does not need more grease, but rather something of drying nature, such as has good deal of alcohol in it. The quinine hair tonics are good for such cases. If the hair is, dry and feels dead, the crying need is grease.
 Crude yellow vaSeline is much used for this purpose. A little IS taken on the finger and rubbed into the roots. This prevents the mass of hair from getting sticky. A good way to apply grease is to use the oil cans used for sewing ma chimes. The vaseline has to be made thin by beating oil into it. Almond oil or olive oil can be used for this purpose Lanolin IS also. used for the' roots of the hair mixed with vaseline and oil It is too sticky to be used by itself.
 The long nozzle of the oil can makes the application of the oily mixture to the roots of the hair easier. as 1t can be in troduced to the scalp and the oil reaches the roots without oiling the hair itself If the scalp is white and the roots of the

Massage

Massage
 l am asked about massage of the scalp and how one can apply it. While the shampooing can be done by oneself, it IS much pleasanter to have it performed by someone else. The same IS true of scalp massage; but then it will not be done sufficiently often to be of much practical benefit. If you do it every time you comb your hair, you will obtain some results from it. If you live in a large city where such things are done, it is well to take treatment or two in order to better understand the process.
 You should use the tips of the fingers, the pubs, so to speak, of each hand, applying them first as close as possible to the scalp, then with circular motion, while still pressing firmly on the scalp, go over the entire scalp, so that the blood will be brought to the roots of the hair. Superficial rubbing does no good, and is apt to rub the hair ou; by the roots.

 After having gone thus thoroughly over the scalp, wash the ends of the hair with the shampoo mixture and then rinse the soap out of the hair thoroughly with hot water, afterwards using colder water, until at last it IS quite cold The action of first the very hot water and then the very cold is good to stimulate the blood-vessels.
 Dry the hair as quickly and thoroughly as possible, so as not to take cold. Dry 1t near the register, heater or fire, and hasten the process with hot towels, or the use of palm-leaf fans

Bank Advertising.

The alert business discernmeut Of
bankers is recognized and looked up
to in all walks of commercial life,
and just now one of the most signifi-
cant signs of the times is the develop
ment of bank advertising. A few
years back bankers were extremely
conservative in the matter. and the
banker who went beyond standing
card" was looked upon as a reckless
infringer on financial ethics. Nova
days, however, you see the columns
of nearly every daily newspaper
more or less occupied with neat ad-
vertisements setting out in well-writ-
ten sentences why every man should
keep his money in bank, explaining
the more perfect safety and increased
convenience, and pointing out the
fact that fair amount of interest
will be paid on deposits
This modern advertising method
on the part of the banker is good,
because it makes people think more
seriously about the absolute safety
of their money and at the same time
it places money where it may be used
as basis of credit and multiplies it's
value.
The bank in these days that does
not advertise does not get its share
of the business.

Doctors of Football.

The agitation for a reform of foot
ball continues in newspapers and
periodicals. 1t is doubtful IL the col
lege game has ever had such an array
of formidable opponents as face it
this year. The record of the past
season is the severest sort of evil
dence in the case which is to be made
against the game. Football, like all
subjects of controversy, has some
thing to be said in its favor as well
as in its condemnation. To all, it's
friends as we'll as its enemies, the
appeal in the last issue of Harper's

the extreme of sentiment against the
game. The following is the Harper
