THERE are numbers OF women who
spend time. effort and money IN q
serious attempt to keep their hair clean
and their scalps free from dandruff.
They apply tones recommended by
beauty specialists In the most eonsci-
entious manner. squirting themselves on
TO the task when they are weary and
longing for restful hours Of sleep.
There is no amount OF pain or actual
labor they would shirk in order 20 at
tain beautiful heads OF hair. Having
followed the main directions that go
with scalp treatment. they believe they
have done their part and wonder that
their efforts are futile.
The fact is. these beauty seekers have
neglected what to them seemed nom
essential in the beauty quest They
have allowed their eagerness to smoth-
er reason and so have overlooked such
necessaries as strictly sanitary brushes.

cations

YOUR HANDS,

on. my hands are much too thin to
be prettyl" said a girl the other
day when some one rather admired
her slim fingers.
But that is quite a mistaken notion
of hers. 1t doesn't necessarily follow
that hand must be plump and dim
pied to be beautiful
The well cared for hand cannot fail
to be a pleasing one. however 1t is
shaped
To possess a well shaped hand is al
most as great an asset as to possess a
pretty face.
No matter II your hand is plump or
thin, tanned by the sun or soft and
white. II 1t is to lay any claim to beauty
the skin must be firm, smooth and well
cared for.
But haven't time to bother about
such thingsl" exclaims the busy wo-
man.
But IT really doesn't take long-only
few minutes daily. Here are some
points to remember:
Never half wash your hands. To do
this is merely TO send what dirt is left
in the pores farther in than 1t was be-
fore
Always remember after washing to
base OF the nails. And II hangnails
seem inclined to develop rub a little
cold cream or almond oil into the nails
every night II you like your nails to
look polished there Is no need to buy q
pad The palm Of ones hand makes
an excellent one.
Sprinkle a small quantity of powder
on 1t and rub the nails OF the other
hand vigorously backward and for
ward over II You will be delighted
with the result
To keep the hands soft and white try
the following. which should be rubbed
well into the hands after washing and
is very cheap and easy to make: Mix
together equal parts OF glycerin. olive
oil and either lemon Juice or eau de
cologne. The oil and giycerin soften
the skin and the lemon Juice or eau de
cologne acts as an astringent
If at any time your hands are very
dirty rub in a little oil or far before
washing. This ioosens the dirt. and
with warm water and a good soap It Ia
easily removed

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-02

THIS is how an enterprising young
woman mends her husbands
clothes. The hints she acknowledges
were gained from seeing an old boat
man putting a round patch on his
trousers. Her feminine curiosity being
aroused. she asked the man why he
selected a circular piece OF cloth.
Promptly came the blunt answer. Cos
a round patch don't bring no strain on
any particular part no pulling at cor
ners, as comes with a square un.''
A trial soon showed the young wo-
man that the round patch does just as
well for holes in vests and pajamas as
for trousers. The exact way in which
II should be applied is this: Lay the
patch on the affected spot and start
fairly neat running in a very tiny cir
Gle, taking the stitches through both
materials This first small circle will
be the center OF the patch. This done.
continue making circle after circle of
the running until the extreme edge of
the patch is reached. The impulse
would be to stop patching at this outer
edge, but this way results in baeginess.
The boatmans way was to keep all
| taut and in shape, To do this herring
bone the outer edge.

THE UNDERVALUED BANANA

THE idea that fruits should be eaten
IN their season" causes limitations
as regards variety in temperate zones
at certain periods of the year. There
Is. however. one fruit which is usually
available in American markets at near
ly all seasons. That is the banana. It
is unfortunate that an article of diet
which meets so many nutritive re-
quirements and is so easily obtainable
should be the subject OF much misun-
Outstanding among both physicians and
laymen- The banana Is shipped from
tropical or semitropical regions in a
green, unripe state. The color OF the
peel gives evidence of the degree of
ripeness. The green banana contains.

OF protein and 20 to rs per cent of car
bohydrate, almost entirely starch
In the ripe banana with yellow brown
peel the edible part contains somewhat
less 16 to 1s per cent? OF carbohy-
drate. but that which remains is now
almost entirely in the form OF soluble
sugars. Broadly speaking, then, the
ripe banana is about one-fifth sugar;
the green. one-fifth starch. Most OF
the remainder OF the edible pulp In wa

proportions. varying between the lin

Inasmuch as bananas are commonly
