CARING FOR INVALID'S HAIR
Some Things That Nurse or Friend
Of Patient Should Be Sure to
Keep In Mind.

Long hair should be divided into
two plaits the first day of an illness.
This makes combing easier on patient
and nurse.
In high fever an ice cap is equally
beneficial to the hair and to tempera-
ture.
When a patient likes to have her
head rubbed, If bit of vaseline is put
on tips of fingers it will keep the hair
from getting dry and brittle. This
must be carefully done If bed linen
is not to suffer.
Where hair has matted in illness,
do not attack it with a comb or pull
it apart. Thread with the fingers, be-
ginning at the ends of hair and work
ing up. Shake the hair often.
Do a little at a time, and stop at
Hair combing in a weakened state
has been known to cause collapse.
With convalescence begin a course
OF treatment for the hair. This should
be professional, but much can be done
at home with vaseline rubbed well
into the scalp or a good tonic, such
as bay rum and quinine, or crude pa
troleum.
Only permit hair to be cut as last
resort 1t is rarely done now even
after typhoid fever. Do not be alarmed
at increasing thinness. Keep up mas
sage, and new hair will quickly fol-
low.
Hair after illness splits badly. A
thorough singeing is one of the first
things to do.
AS hair is delicate and brittle after
illness, avoid overheating with false
hair. Wear it only when necessary
If you wish your scalp to quickly re
gain a normal, healthy condition.

But in all fairness ii should be said
that the primary basis of the Passion
play performances is reverential and
not mercenary. The men and women
who play the parts of the characters
of the old and New Testaments are the
descendants OF many generations of
villagers who have staged the Passion
play since 1894 as thank offering to
the Almighty for the deliverance of
their forefathers from the plague.
Since that time the play has been pre-
sented once in every decade There
have been very few Interruptions in
the long series Probably the most
notable of the breaks was that in 1870,
the year of the opening of the Franco
Prussian war, in which Bavarian
troops bore a prominent part.

gauans are only fulfilling a solemn vow

The Fosses are the only brothers in
the present house.

consolation thought, 1t is believed that
George f. F'oss finds his grief assuaged

is the Fourteenth.) Twice he tried for
the office and failed. Then last year,
after having changed his politics, he
ran for the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor Of Massachusetts, on the Demo-
cratic ticket He failed again, but
came very close to election.
1t was on the matter of the tariff
that Mr., Foss broke away from his
old party. lie was an insurgent on the
question before the word 'insurgent"
was ever used in this connection. He
went up and down the state preaching
the doctrine of reciprocity with Cana
an leaders in Massachusetts, began to
think that his Republicanism was a
little off color The final break be-
tween Foss and the G.. o. =. of the
state of Lodge and Crane came last
year after the passage OF the Payne
law. His election by big plurality is
matter of recent history.
The tariff is not the thing that stirs
the other Foss most or brings him Of
