That is often enough to clean out the

Care of the Hair.
The hair should come in for much
more attention now, too. II is often
said that cutting it and keeping it
short will improve the growth That
is not necessarily true Cutting the
hair frequently makes it somewhat
coarse but It does not produce a single
extra hair However, short hair is
more comfortable for the child and is
easier to keep clean, so that 1t is ad-
visable to keep if short up to the age
Of ten or twelve years old.

clean Washing at least every ten days

but good soap on the head and rinse

head very gently and wash the oil out
the next day.
Children often catch scalp diseases

out thoroughly and repeat the opera
ton several times before the final
rinsing.
How to Curl H.
A child's hair should never be
curled with the irons or done up in
curling papers. The first ruins the
texture of the hair, the other literally
pulls delicate hair out of the roots
If there is any inclination to curl
that tendency can be encouraged by

and curling over the finger with soapy

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; In short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"

polite in this city. You are the roots
and trunks Of our great municipal
tree, while we who represent you in
Office are merely the branches on that
magnificent tree"

in the back of the hall, "but did we

Walking for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want of pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.

are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
