Care of the Hair.

Women whose scalps are afflicted with
an excess of oil cannot make the hair
light and fluffy AT once. But if they have
patience to pursue regular treatment for
several months there Is no doubt but
that the condition may be improved.
First and foremost be it said that fire.
ouent shampooing is highly injurious to
an oily scalp. Washing stimulates the
pores of the head to greater eNcretion,
and it is precisely because the pores are
spread already that the scalp is oily.
When the former in normal condi-
ton the texture of the hair is light,
without being crisp.
Brushing, using long strokes and a
brush having rather soft and long bristies,
Is an impCrtant part of the daily treat
lnent for ii strengthens by stimulating
local circulation of the blood. 1t is also
beneficial because soft bristles absorb
some of the SupettiuouS oil. removing
ii without recourse TO washing.
In giving this part Of the treatment,
care should be taken that the brush bris
ties rest on the scalp itself at the begin
ming OF each stroke. The brush should
ne washed and carefully dried each time
after using. that oils taken from the
scalp may not be worked back again.
Some persons advise the use OF dry
powders for removing superfluous oils.
and if properly used they are beneficial,
merely because of their absorbent quail
ties But always when putting on an?
dry applications it must he remembered
that they should be kept from contact
with the scalp itself
Should any rest OH tie skin. to brush
il out becomes impossible. so tightly will
it adhere Ii left en- the scalp it will form
a crust which is highly injurious. and to
wash il out i. not always desirable for
the scalp.
Therefore when sprinkling il on, which
is the best method for applying. any dry
applica ton must be kept just below the
scalp. SO that only the hair itself is
busted
When the tressas are we'll sprinked, the
cleanser is removed by brushing, knock
ing the briseles after each stroke to re-
move the powder.
a good dry mixture is eight ounces of
fine corn meal to che ounce of ground,
not powdered. orris root. This quantity
will be sufficient for two applications to
an average amount of hair.
Twice week is sufficiently often to
use it.
ShampooinS should not he done oftener
than once in five weeks. and once in six
is enough if the daily brushing is given,
for the latter keeps the scalp quite clean.
Drying after washing should be accom-
plished by rubbing with towels. while
sitting in the sun.
Direct heat, such as that from a radia-
tor or register, is Very injurious to the
scalp. MARGARET MIXTER.

We can onward, upward climb,
