FOR ITCHING SCALPs

a Speedy, Economical and
Agreeable Treatment.

To allay itching and irritation of the

treatment has been found most effective.
On retiring, comb the hair out straight
al around, then begin at the side and
make q parting, gently rubbing Cuticura
ointment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings about
half IN inch apart until the whole scalp
has been treated, the purpose being to
get the ointment on the scalp skin
rather than on the hairs
The next morning, shampoo with
Cuticura soap and hot water. Shampoos
alone may be used az often as agreeable,
but for women's hair once or twice .
month is generally sufficient for this
special treatment. Men may apply Cuti-
ellra ointment a. they would ponaade
q in any other convenient way, prefer
ably at night, as often as necessary to
keep the scalp clean and the hair from
falling, but may shampoo lightly with
Cutiou11 soap every morning, when
ualing the toilet.
Notwithstanding that Cuticura soap

The turtle doves are great feeders
on the seeds of weeds. and do much to
protect growing crops from harm
through the ravages Of those weeds
on the seeds Of which they feed. The
government biological survey. in con.
Quoting It's investigation to determine
the economic value Of these birds.
found in the stomachs OF three turtle
doves 23,100 hawkweed seeds, with
the seeds Of several other kinds OF
weeds which have caused the farmer
and expense during
larger portion of the crop growing
season. These birds are much more
effective as weed discriminating
force than an army Of men with hoes
and weeders. because the best that
man can do is to keep the weeds In
checks to a certain extent, while the
seed devoured by the bird Is de-
stroyed and prevented from taking
root 1t Is estimated that the natural
Increase Of these birds, if they were
allowed to multiply without Interrupt
ton, would save the American farmer
at least $500000.000 year.
