Rest for the scalp is imperative to over
come the strain Of wearing the large
quantities of false hair that are now fash
ionable. For in addition to the mass OF
curls, puffs, etc, many pins are required
to hold the coiffures in shape. These pins
naturally pull the hair roots and weaken
the hair so it falls. unless special meas
ures are taken to preserve the roots.
The greatest aid that can be given the
scalp for this purpose is to let the hair
hang loose at night. For in this way not
only is all strain taken away. but the
scalp gets more than the usual amount OF
ventilation. The latter in itself is excel
lent, as it strengthens the roots.
That short locks may not fall over the
face at night, section of the hair over
it may be gathered up and tied with a
ribbon, after the manner in which many
women wore their flowing locks when
they were little girls. II tying is done
loosely there will be no pull on the scalp
and unruly short locks will be held IN
place. -,
If a thorough brushing is given when all
pins are taken out, the hair will not tan

Household Hints.

When mail is delivered housekeepers
usually separate their letters from adj
vertisements, throwing the latter into
the waste basket without scrutiny or
thought. The housekeeper is too busy
to stop to read and remember who the
advertisers are where they live, what
lines they are in and what special ad-
vantages they have to offer to the neigh
borhood.
Then occasions arrive when one has
unable to recall any one by name or adj
DRESS to her great regret.
To such this suggestion that all useful
cards and circulars be kept in box for
future reference may be of advantage.
When housekeeping or moving time
comes how convenient to know just where
to find the addresses or phone number
of the cleaner the carpenter. the cleo
trician, shade mon. furniture repAirer.
etc, without the annoyance of referring
to the telephone directory to select names
haphazard.
When preparing for a trip. how con-
venient to be able at once to find the man
who repairs trunks. fits locks and keys
and provides straps and other little ne
cessities incidental TO travel.
Equally at hand are the addresses of
the auto livery to which you can phone
in q jiffy. When necessity arises for
laundering on short notice YOU have the
cards of those who will do 1t as desired.
Think of the time saved and worry
spared by this simple method of putting
only useful cards and circulars In q lit
tie box for reference when. needed.

any trouble whatever, take the required
amount Of starch. dissolve lin cold water.
adding enough boiling water to make

without starch streaking and rolling up

gle unduly. and such snarls as come may
be smoothed away in the morning by the
careful use of a brush.
Rubbing the scalp for a few minutes
after the pins are taken from the hair will
do it good by increasing circulation. for
the blood under the scalp is likely to be in
dormant condition at the end of the
day, and rubbing sends it through the
veins with new energy.
To rub the scalp the fingers are thrust
through the locks to the middle OF the
head and then rubbing is done vigorously,
though not SO extremely as to cause knots
in the hair. One minutes rubbing ut can
not be called massage) is good. but five
minutes work will be excellent.
A lazy but possible way of applying
hair tonic is to pour some of the lotion
over the scalp before rubbing. To apply
the tonic the bottle containing 1t is held
over the top of the head and teaspoon
full more of the liquid is turned out
A lotion which may be used in this way
is made from one ounce of alcoholic tine
ture of canthardes. one and One-half
ounces each of spirits of rosemary, gly-
cerin and aromatic vinegar and three
ounces of roseWater
The application should be made nightly.

A Lace Hint.

Turn lace over and sew far enough from

which when done will show only one row

sewed by hand. This is especially good
for underwear, as 1t never rips and does

Tea Table Tips.
What Blend Of Tea to Use in sa-


movar.
"For afternoon tea" said the young
married woman who had taken several
courses in cookery at well known in
stitute and was au fait in entertaining,
equal parts Of orange pekoe and English
breakfast are generally used. This blend
does not lose strength by standing, but
ripens and softens in flavor.
"Ceylon and Oolong teas are rated high
by experts, the Ceylon being similar to
the English breakfast, only more arc
matte.
There is a superfine Russian blend
called caravan tea that comes at 81 per
pound, but little of it goes long way
"Formosa teas are now under the con-
troll of Japan, but ordinary Japanese tea,
green or black, is not rated high by ex-
perts, as much, coloring matter is used
for all Japanese green teas.
1.-The varieties land grades of tea are
almost innumerabie, but for practical pur-
poses it suff1ces to explain that black
teas are graded as 'Flowery Pekoe,' Or
ange Pekoe,' 'Pekoe' 'Pekoe 'Souchong,
'Congou' English breakfastl and Bohea.
Green teas are graded as .Gunpo wider, !
Pekoe is from 'pakho.' meaning white
hairs-the fine, downy tips OF the young
buds. Souchong means also little plant
or sort-hence it's delicacy."
Accomplishments Of Flavors to Serve
With the Tea.
Milk should never be served with tea.
Just wee drappie'' of cream is quite
permissible, but the tea should be poured
on the cream-not the cream into the tea.
The use of lemon juice with tea is not a
mere fad with no reason for its adoption,
as those who know say that when lemon
juice is used in clear tea the cttric acid
Of the fruit Offsets the tannic acid of the
tea, rendering it more refreshing and
wholesome.
A slice of pineapple with bit of lemon
is deemed great Improvement by many.
while a whole Glove dropped into a cup
of tea just before serving, in addition to
the lemon is popular and tasty.
In some countries a bit of vanilla is put
into the tea, and in London there is a
clay made into teapots and cups, in which
vanilla is incorporated.
This. when heated gives forth deli
cate odor and flavor that some find deli.
cious.
Another addition to the cup is mara
schino cherry, and rock candy. instead OF
block sugar \ teaspOonful of rum added
to cup of tea finds also it's adherents,
or this may be varied by soaking the
pineapple in rum. The rum wrinkle
comes from Russia, one favorite recipe
running as follows:
Put a tablespoonful and a half of fine
Russian tea in a heated pot. Cover the
tea with two tablespoonfuls of boiling
water, let it infuse for a moment, then
pour off the water and throw away. Pour
in a quarter pony of the best rum and a
Pint and q half of freshly boiling water.
Let this infuse for three or four minutes.

DEFEAT is BLAMED
ON SPEAKER CLARK

Washington, D. c., September 21.-
The question which tonight is agi-
taung leaders of political parties and
factions throughout the United states
is how their fortunes in the approach
ing national campaign will be affected
by to-day's defeat of the Laurier gov
eminent and Canadian reciprocity. 1t
is evident that the replies will be as
varied in character as were the poi
teal views of the factions which
fought over the question during the
special session of Congress.
Oflcial Washington closely followed
the returns from Canada tonight. but
remained silent as the figures poured
In showing the Laurier party had
been defeated and reciprocity rejected.
The unofficial View was that as Cam
ada had rejected the agreement there
was nothing for, the administration
to do but make the best OF the mat
ter"
That the rejection OF the Canadian
upon the campaign of President Taft
for denomination and reelection is not
doubted. Some OF the Old Guard> Re
publicans who supported the agree
ment against their better Judgment"
are saying that It's defeat will
strengthen the Taft administration by
removing the only issue on which
they We're in disa greement with the
President
Most OF the Insurgcnt Republicans
opposed the agreement. and they be-
lieve their position has been made
much stronger by the result of the
election in Canada to-day.
There was no one hero tonight to
