No reason can be imagined by G..

More than three months have elapsed

One mistake is evident on the tnce

has nothing to do with Richmond's

A Widespread crusade is now being
carried on everywhere against the
wearing of rats" and "puffs" by
women. Department stores and other
institutions where girls are employed
are posting notices fatty forbidding
such head dresses. Doctors are de-
nouncing them as ''unhygenic dust and
germ catchers." Rats" and "puffs"
are not merely unhealthy, but they are
the direct cause of falling hair and
badness in women. The network of
Veins in the scalp are destroyed by the
heat and pressure of these artificial
masses of hair and fiber, and the nat
ural result is badness and disease. The
best thing to use in restoring the scalp
to healthy condition is Birt's Head
Wash, particularly in cases where
there is dandruff. itching scalp and
hair that falls out. This is the new sci
