have given my World readers
several talks on the care Of the hair
and yet, there seems to be unan-
swered queries There is always the
call for a good. reliable tonic that will
stop falling hair and create new
growth.
Dandruff is the cause Of falling
hair, when sickness has not deadened
the hair follicles
While the dandruff is present there
Is not much use to try to stop the
falling hair and the new growth will
succumb to the dandruff just as soon
az 1t comes through. The logical way
then, is to kill the dandruff first.
| speak advsedly when | say kill
the dandruff because it is composed
| of wicked little microbes that feed
and flourish on the hair follicles. If
their onward march is not stopped
they will leave the most luxuriant
head of hair bare and shining
I crown.
Combing and brushing seem to be
stimulants to these little parasites
and they seem to delight in the exer-
else that a fine comb affords them.
Vegetable oils may hold them down
for awhile, but greasy hair is the
| penalty.
The procedure in ridding the scalp
| OF dandruff is first to give 1t good
shampoo. an egg beaten up in warm
, wafer. Use the white only Rinse
the hair thoroughly and dry it and
then apply this lotion. Five ounces
of witch hazel in which is dissolved
! eight grains Of corrosive subllmate.
Wet the tips of the fingers in the To-
/ ton and rub over the scalp The
lotion should be used every night, but
of course, the shampoo should not
.,.me oftener than once in two weeks.
| Perhaps some of you will say that
corrosive sublimate is deadly pois-
on and 1t is. but the proportion is so
small that II Is not dangerous In this
solution. The only way that we can
fight dandruff is with a poison that
kills il.
| have seen beautiful heads of hair
ruined in a few months by dandruff
1t is contagious and can be acquired
from comb or brush or even from
wearing Of a hat or head wrap be-
longing to one who has dandruff,
The moral Is obvious be as careful
of your comb and brush as you are
of your tooth brush. You wouldn't
dream Of cleansing your teeth with
brush that some one else had used.
BE as careful about using the comb
and brush that belongs to another or
OF using toilet articles that are not
your own. And wear your own hat!
1t is q fact that after the dandruff
is done away with. the hair will gen
orally come in fresh and luyuriant,
but this Is not the case IL the dand-
ruff Is of such long standing that it
has destroyed the roots OF the hair.
If the roots are destroyed, there is
no use to tempt the head with nos
trums, it is too late.
A simple and very fine tonic for
the hair is so cheap that it is within
the reach of all, and ! can vouch for
the fact that It Is excellent.
Take OF soft water-never hard wa

solved and let stand all night In
the morning skim Off the foreign
matter that rises to the top and put
on to boil. Boil ten minutes and
strain. Your tonic is then ready to
use.
The soft water keeps the salt from
making the hair stiff and sticky.
Hard water, I'm any form. is ruinous
to the hair.
This tonic Is rot a shampoo, you
must Just wet the scalp with it. Part
the hair and wet the scalp with
small sponge all over until the head
is completely wet then shake out
the hair so that It may quickly dry.
The scalp will tingle. perhaps bit
too much, but 1t will soon pass away
leaving a delightful feeling. a re-
freshed. tonic feeling that does the
whole body good
Don't forget your faithful brush,
get good stiff brush and use It. Be-
gin at the crown and brush down
ward with long. even strokes. Each
portion of the head should have at
least ten strokes
1t is said that the use OF castor oil
and camphor will make the hair
glossy and give tendency to fluff
ness and curliness
Pour the palm as full Of the cam
phor as II will hold and drop five
