A GOOD LESSON
FOR YOUNG N EN-

A life insurance company, if op-
Grating under New York law, is re-
uuired to lend a policy-hOlder at
any time a certain portion of his in
terest in the policy. Being obliga-
tory, the loan is made promptly
and without question.
The experience Of the companies
is that loan made to a policy
holder is hardly ever repaid. In
about nine cases out of ten the in
sured that once borroWs on his pol
icy will keep on borrowing to the
limit and then drop the insurance,
or the loan will stand as a claim
against the policy, to be deducted
at his death.
1t is a melancholy fact that easy
credit is a temptation which many
men cannot withstand. The more
readily they can borrow to tide
over" the more tiding they need.
The debt habit, once fastened upon
a man is exceedingly hard to cure
In lessenine his chances of success,
impairing his self-respect and low
ering his character it is second to
drink and gambling. We wish ev-
cry young man could get these facts
immovably fixed in his mind. The

The Cherokee Headlight, publish

cents on the dollar. The newspaper
business in country towns does not
nav as large dividends as Standard
Oil stock, and every now and then
a plant turns its toes to the daisies.
A GOOD many others make a bare
existence. 1t takes a liberal mix
ture of grit and nerve to tackle the
newspaper business, and if you
haven't the mixture don't get your
feet wet.
The men folks over at Williford
tell us that the ladies of that town,
through an organization which they
Perfected some time ago, have done
more to clean up the town moral
"; done more toward improving
the public buildings Of the town, the
school and churches, and all in a
short time, than the men had ever
accomplished. II simply takes the
interest of women to do this sort of
work for the town. Men can't, or
won't. In most every town may be
found a faithful band of women
working for the betterment of So
ciety and for a better, cleaner town.
Their efforts are always rewarded
with success. And we have no
doubt it could be easily ascertained
that, everywhere, these women are
not concerned in the agitation for
votes for women, except no doubt
they are not in sympathy with the
movement,

all the people in Arkansas were

Hattie's Helpful Hints.

To prevent milk from burning when
boiled in sauce pan, first cover bot
tom of pan with hot water and let it
boil rapidly until there is only enough
to barely cover the bottom. Then
add the milk, it will not scorch.
If your fruit juice refuses to jell,
add the juice of one large lemon to
every quart
To prevent the jelly from granting,
add teaspoon of cream of tartar to
every gallon of juice.
To clean the lard pail, put in flower
and rub thoroughly. This can be
used for pies and saves time in wash
ing greasy pail.
After sunbonnets are ironed, pin
around gallon pail, let remain until
thoroughly dry. This makes them a
nice shape and makes them easy to
put together.
In case of severe pain, where a
hot plate or hot water is needed, try
putting a wire broiler or toaster over
the lamp and setting the plate or cup
of water to be heated upon it. The
air is not cut off and articles will
soon be hot
Use flaps for unsealed envelopes for
labels on fruit jars, cans, or paper
bags as they stick on we'll. They can
be used to stick on cracked lamp
chimneys il you are short on lamps.

It Paws to Take Care Of the Hair

There is a vast difference in hair
that receives proper attention and the
hair that "grows Wild" The former
is usually soft, silky and shiny, and
the latter stiff, wiry, without gloss
and coarse looking.
A professional hair dresser has
given me few pointers, which with
those from other sources will prove
a benefit to any one.
The hair should be kept clean.
Many times it's falling is caused by
dirt. It should be shampooed every
two weeks or at least once a month
it all depends on the occupation, the
condition and the care.
The egg shampoo is the very best.
Beat up one or two eggs, wet the hair,
then rub the egg into the scalp very
thoroughly by simply rubbing, or
with a massage movement, which is
made by placing the first and second
fingers on the scalp firmly and moving
scalp around by circular movement.
Tar soap is also good for a shampoo
Rinse we'll with hot water, not hot
enough to cook the egg; then again
with cold for final touch. Rub dry
with warm towels, massaging at the
same time. The cold water closes the
pores and that prevents one from TAX
ing cold. A good tonic should then
be applied.
Every night the hair should be
given hundred strokes with a good
bristle brush. The wire brushes
stimulates the scalp but do not clean.
If the hair is greasy put thin, old
stocking over the brush. You will be
surprised to see what an amount OF
dirt comes off. Rub the scalp with
the finger tips at least once a week.
Tt should be loose and movable. Work
week after week unit it becomes so.
If the hair is dry little vaseline
or castor oil cut with alcohol are the
best remedies, but many people object
to using greasy things. Only a tiny
bit should be used. however, and
should be applied directly to the scalp
and not to the hair. DandruF will
usually disap pear with care. Using a
fine comb only increases the trouble.
The combs and brushes should be
kept absolutely clean. Strong sage
tea used to rinse the hair is splendid
hair grower, and it will help to keep
the color after it begins to turn.
We are going to get some good
formulas, the best we can find, to
give the readers of this department.

then strain as before. To each pint
of juice allow one pound of granulated
sugar. Put this in a dish and set in
a large kettle of hot water. Let water
boil briskly for one hour. Skim juice
as needed and when done put in cold

A FAVORITE CAKE.

Break an egg into cup Of cream,
either sweet or sour, ii sour add a
pinch of soda to sweeten it. Beat
hard, then add cup of sugar and a
pinch of salt. Stir in two cups of
flour with which has been sifted two
teaspoons of baking powder. Flavor
to taste, half teaspoon of grated
nutmeg and half teaspoon lemon
extract or vanilla. This can be made
into loaf or layer cake but the most
appetizing way is to bake it in a
sheet so it will be about an inch and
half thick, and after it is cold
covered with thick layer of whipped
cream.
