THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional paintings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
one or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

Kongens to Nytorv for Copenhagen,
the promenade of the stylish part Of
the population. Here we find also
that bohemian element and a great
deal of that extravaganza of high
life for which Paris is famous. OF
course the shops followed their best
customers. In the beginning the old
houses of the city opened branches
for the west; then new elegant maya
zines Of the Regent street type were
founded; now there is already a pc
discernible. Superior taste and
artistic decorations are indispensable
requisites for these shops. One need
only peep into the numerous new cof-
fee houses along the street to get a
notion Of Kurfurstendamm style. In
order to compete with their rivals
each of these restaurants had to de-
velop a speciality that was likely to
attract patronage; everywhere good
music is an attraction given into the
bargain. Artists and literary men
meet at some ~favorite place, elegant
ladies of the fast set at another.
The 5 o'clock tea attracts in the
same rooms quite another class of
people than you would find later IN
the evening. You see here crowded
together what a generation ago was
apparently missing in Berlin, people
of vast means and with plenty of
time. 1t is therefore quite under
s%tandable hal the new term of Ber-
lin w. W, /. 9. the extreme west of
Berlin, means the upper ten thou

VALUE OF CONTRASTING COAT
Garment Makes for Real Economy in
That 1t VIII Serve for Many
Different Costumes.

An economy is found in the con-
trasting coat. The same skirt tailor
built and perfectly cut has been made
to serve with three Or four coats, says
the Indianapolis News.
Take the ~favorite black and white
stripe, for example. This may be
worn with a coat to match and by way
of change with a neat, short coat Of
black habit cloth lined with braid,
while a saucy little jacket Of scarlet
silk will quite transform the toilet.
The changes may be rung in the same
fashion with the ubiquitous navy
serge.
The survival of this idea is indi-
Gated In the coming evening styles,
and one can see how in this case it
may be a very real economy, since it
often happens that an evening bodice
is unpresentable, while the skirt is
still in good condition. The idea Of a
blouse for evening wear being nov
hopelessly old-fashioned 1t Is not easy
to do much with a skirt, and yet we do
not care to see it hanging in the
cramped space of the wardrobe. Into
this dilemma the taffeta coat intro
duces itself with complete success,
and the old evening frock becomes
fashionably transformed.

COLLAR MUCH IN EVIDENCE
More Numerous or Pretty Than
They Are at This Time.

Just around the corner from the Rue
de Rivoli, in Paris, on one of the side
streets, are a number of small shops
where neckwear and dainty acces-
series for the adornment of smart
femininty are sold. There Is a pic
turesque element about the new open
throated Robespierre collars. The
vogue is by no e confined to the
youthful, for there exists many phases
of the collar which permit an inner
guimpe of fine net and high collar to
be worn.
The unmodifed R~obespierre collar,
however, with its open neck and dou-
BILE cascade of frills outlining the v,
is ~unbecoming save when the throat is
white and well nodded.
There are adaptations of this mode
to suit all ages and fancies. These
collars are made to suit n gown.
For the suits of silk, whipcord and
serge are attractive designs fashioned
OF point d'esprit and shadow lace.

RAZOR CASE

A razor case is made of a piece Of

cotton for the flowers and a soft

Under the flap a piece of linen is

divided by six rows of machine stitch

TO TAKE OUT STAINS
NONE so STUBBORN THAT THEY
CAN'T BE REMOVED.
Grain Alcohol One Of the Best Rene
die to Employ, or In Some Gases
JaVeIIe Water Will Do the
Work Better.

Alcohol will usually remove the
stains made by grass and fruit Juice,
although it will not discourage in
the least the stains Of some kinds of
frult. Only grain alcohol should be
used. 1t acts better If used warm, and
can be heated by holding the bottle
containing it in hot water. II
patches Of the stain remain pour boil
Ing water on them. If they still per-
slst, dilute muriatic acid, in a n
per cent. solution, can be applied. Care
should be taken to rinse the fabric
thoroughly afterward in several wa
ters, with a very little ammonia in the
last one, to counteract the effect Of the
acid and prevent it from injuring the
clotn. Javelle water, which can be
made at home, is a Trustworthy means
for removing almost any fruit stain.
1t is especially good for peach and
pear stains, which are usually the
o obstinate of all spots. Soak the
spots In it for three or four minutes,
and then rinse in cold, clean water.
AIterWard launder the article as usual.
Alcohol is usually a perfect solvent
for the stain of green vegetable mat
ter, whether or not the material be
washable. Some housewives find or
binary kitchen molasses sufficient
remedy for such stains upon any sort
OF FABRIC. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
INTO the stain, allowed to stand ten
minutes, and then washed out with
warm water and soap. If the article
cannot be washed, the molasses Is left
on, with the stain thickly covered.

GOOD SIRE MOST ECONOMICAL
Pure-5red Bull Is Cheapest Invest.
ment Farmer Can Make In Build
ing Up Standard of Herd.

By RAY P. SPEER. Minnesota College
of Agriculture
1t has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who is
trying to build up the standard Of a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase of
a good pure-bred bull. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy several high-priced fe-
males as a basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical. The most eco
nomical results can be obtained by
buying a bull with masculinity enough
behind his good breeding to stamp his
likeness upon the calves secured.
A striking proof Ct this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit al
various state fairs this fall. One of
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair Judge had to
choose between two COWS with the
same dam, but sired by different
bulls, for the female championship of
the breed. So strikingly similar in
type was each of them to it's own sire,
though the dam was the same, that
there was no trouble in distinguish
Ing between the two. The one that
had been produced by the more out.
standing sire was so superior to the
one that had been produced by the
less superior bull that there was no
trouble about the selection.
The principle illustrated is prac-
tical value to the farmer who is
thinking of beginning a herd with
limited capital, or who has a very
common herd that he desires to grade
up. An average group of calves will
be far superior to their commonly
bred mothers if a good pure-bred bull
Is used. Such a bull can be pur-
chased very reasonably if proper care
. taken by the purchaser.

An idea Of the number Of ways in

to the triangular construction of the
