Treating tho Scalp

OF course YOU know that hair-dress-
ing includes the care and treatment OF
the scalp, and If you go INTO this work
after you have learned the first steps
you will make much more money than
by simply Shampooing and dressing the
hair. Age is no limit to taking UP the
work in any of its branches. A Chicago
friend, bcreft OF husband and son and
reaching her ffGcth birthday, used her
very small bank balance to go into a
hair-drcssing parlor, with the thought
of becoming an assistant. Alter she
learned, she set up her own little par
lor in her flat near suburban railway
station and near a big university. and
managed to take care of herself nicely.

White petticoats arc really a matter
of choice while the slips arc worn, but
seem to be needed under the dresses
that will be put on for dress-up occa-

months old. Several wooden sacks are
needed, and they should be sufficiently
large, particularly as 10 sleeye-room, TO

Baby, PottIcoats


a few years ago there was much con-
troversy over the question of baby 5
pctticoats-with a body, which was
practically a wide band, needing to be
pinned at the baok-or in princess shape,
one piece from shoulder to hem. Ply
scians and nurses argued on both sides,
and / dare say are still arguing, but |
believe, from the story the pattern sales
tell, that the varlously- reform or
princess garments are much used and
liked. The number and kind of petit
coats is another source of argument
baby's dressing is almost as prolific of
criticism as his later teaching and tram
ing.
Shall he wear flannel petticoat or a
flannel pinning- blanket, or both, and
shall he wear white petticoat at all ?
Now no one can expect the Florida mo-
thcr and the Dakota mother to agree on
this question, so why try to settle 1t for
them? Just stop and think hard for
about two minutes and let judgment
and common sense and the state of the
weather help you In your decision.
The pmning- blanket is length OF
flannel in its full width, attached to a
body of cambric that has ends that tic.

 The Black Warrior mine is one of the best ventilated mines in Globe district. A strong current of air passes continually through the long tunnel that gives access to the mine, and on the hottest day of summer the air in the tunnel is perfectly cool. On all the levels the ventilating facilities and the coolness of the niue are worthy of notice. The 200 level of the mine IS connected with the general offices by telephone wires which are carried in through the long tunnel
