How to Destroy
the Dandruff Germ
By a Specialist.

That the dandruff germ is respons-
ible for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp is heir, as well as for
badness and premature gray hair, is
a well known fact, but when we real
ize that it is also indirectly respons-
ible for many of the worst cases of
catarrh and consumption, we appre-
ciate the Importance of any agent that
viii destroy its power. We are, there
fore, particularly pleased to give here
with the prescription which an emf
nent scientist and specialist states he
has found. after repeated tests, to COM
pletely destroy the dandruf germ IN
from one to three applications. This
prescription can be made up at home,
or any chemist will put it up for you:

posse, y dr. Menthol Crystals. Mix
thoroughly. and after standing half an
hour it is ready for use. Apply night
and morning, rubbing into the scalp
with the finger tips. If you wish it
perfumed, add half teaspoonful Of To
Kalon Perfume, which unites perfectly
with the other ingredients. This prep
aration is not a dye, but is uneQualed
for promoting growth OF new hair,
and for restoring gray hair to its or

OLD STORIES OF CHRISTMAS
Some Have Interest. Freshness and
Beauty That Keep Them Al
ways New.

There are some so-cal1ed "old sto-
ries" that are really not old, for they
have an interest, a freshness and a
beauty that keep them always new.
OF such are the story of Christmas
and all the legends and tales that be-
long to the great festival.
There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves Of the tree Immediately shriv-
eled into needle points and it's bright
green turned dark. The nature Of
the tree changed and it became an
evergreen, in all seasons preaching
the story of mans fall through that
first act Of disobedience Only on
Christmas does it bloom brightly with
lights and become beautiful with love
gifts. The curse is turned into a
blessing by the coming IF the Christ
child, and thus we have our Christmas
tree.
The visits of ST. Nicholas to the
homes Of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out Of a
festival in honor of Hertha, a Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens and an
altar of stone was set UP at the end
of the hall, where the family assem-
bled. From Hertha's stone we get our
word "hearthstone." On the stones
so set up were heaped fir branches,
which were set afire, and through the
smoke and flame Hertha was supposed
to descend and influence the direction
Of the flames, from which were pre-
dicted the fortunes of those present.

A Merry Christmas

All over the country, all over the
world-a few years hence it will be
also all through the air-sounds the
| greeting Merry Christmas! On the
sea and land, in the palace and in the
howell, in the hospitals and in the pris-
ons, In the asylums amid the orphans
| and In the homes for the friendless
and for the aged, wherever even two
persons meet who know and love the
story OF Christmas, the greeting is ex-
changed. Where can there be a par
allel to the universal greeting? Is
there any other sentiment that has
| the sovereignty Of this cheerful ard
heartfelt word? It travels through
the mails like nothing so much as the
doves to the affairs of which the Scrip
! ture speaks, for surely the sentiment
fits from altar to altar of the hearts
of men and is as gentle as the dove.
| Grudges and animosity vanish before
the waiting of Christmas greeting. the
smile or hope illumines the counte-
nances of those under the pail of de-
preston, the dimpled cheeks of the
! babies seem like veritable hooks for
| fairy hiding as the lips COO in RESPONSE
to the Merry Christmas, with the little
emblem Of the day that comes to the
infant from its loving parent. In the
days of romance hostile forces passed
upon the field, sheathed their swords
and clasped hands across the battle
line, greeting one another with the
sentiment Of universal good will.
Merry Christmas has frightened more
hearts, has healed more grievances,
has brought more happiness to the
lives of men and women, has proved
to be the talismanic sentiment for
more home reunions than any other
that has ever been heard in this old
world.
Christmas stands for love and for
charity, for hope and for Joy at the
fru1tion of that long-made promise of
the prophet Of the coming of one who
should bring peace and good will to
earth; so the churches hold their serv-
ices and the people congregate to
join In singing or to listen to the rem
d1tton Of carols, some of which have
come down from the early ages Of the
church. The children have their
Christmas treats, and they are the
very merriest Of the merry in their
participation in these annual school
festivals.
