Now. l can't say that had anything
to do in making it grow long My hair
always was healthy and strong, and
ii is only since I've been on the stage
that l realize that you have to care for
your hair II you want to keep it in good
condition.
The heat of the dressing rooms. the
paint and powder, and the quantity Of
cold cream one uses, all have their
effect on the scalp, and they are not
good for the hair any more than Is
dust or other substances which clog the
pores Of the scalp.
The hair Of the modern girl really does
not get enough ventilation, and | be-
lieve that is one reason why there are
so few fine heads Of hair. such as we
are told women used to have in genera
tons past.
In the first place, sunshine is an ab-
solute necessity for the hair, especially

glints in 1t. You can notice right away

Selected IN Primary.

In discussing the matter last niph,
Mr.. Goolc said that the election Of
ncers were picked by the Jefferson
Ward members of the committee for
the Jefferson Ward precincts. Mr.
Goodc added that Ii the voters Of
Jefferson Ward were not satisfied
til their representatives, on tho CITY
committee, they had only themselves
to blame, since the city committee
was selected in Democratic nr.n-
airy. and the people OF his ward in
recent weeks have loudly and er,-
phaticaily declared themselves to be
primary advocates.
Predictions differ as to the probable
vote TO be cast to-day. There arc
more than 10000 qualified voters. nc.
cording to figures issued by Deputv
CITY Treasurer Isaac Held, and De-
putty Treasurer j. w Bronnugb. Jr..
who receives poll taxes for South
Richmond. But the common belief
was that the total vote polIcd to-day
would not exceed 5000. The city was
redistricted into four wards with an
proximately $4,000 population each.
and doubt Is expressed whether any
ward will cast as many as 1880 votes.
The anticipated average vote in each
ward is placed at 1900.
