THE TENDENCY TO OvEREAT.
Students Advised to Live on So q
Week.

University students, as rule.
could live on 50 week and obtain
better results, physically and mental
ly, than they do at present. This
was the statement made yesterday by
Prof Simon n. Patten, head of the
economics department of the UNI
versity of Pennsylvania, in comment
ing upon the report that a student at
Cornell university was living on 50
cents a week.
Prof. Patten said he was not enough
of an expert on food costs to say
whether man could live on so cents
week without seriously undermining
his constitution. but he thought that
so small amount of money would not
furnish the energy used up by the
average man in the course of q week.
College students overcrowd their
,stomachs as does most everyone else.
according to DIR. Patten. This, he
said, was not only a waste of time
and money, but tends to reduce men
tai efficiency of the men who do it,
II think there is a definite tendency
everywhere for men and women to
spend less for food and more Clothes"
said Prof Patten. Il regard this as
favorable sign. because while it is
not especially desirable that persons
should waste money on clothes. it is
better they should do this than that
they should waste it on food which in
jures them physically and retards
them mentally.

distant when universities will require

WHY MEN ARE BALD.
Three Reasons for Lack of Hair,
Compared With Women.

DR.. Guelpa, of Paris, has made some
interesting studies pertaining to the
scalp and the hair. which have led
him to conclude. that men are more
frequently BALD than women for three
reasons. First of all, they wear hard,
heavy hats; secondly, they cut their
nair too short, both in summer and
winter, and in the third place, men
usually. are greater eaters than wo-
men.
DIR. Guelpa points out the fact that
the scalp can actually be~compared to
soil; the hair to the vegetation spring
ing from that soil. When the soil is
poor and improperly looked after, mi
crobaciIli attack it and kin off its veg
citation. Similarly, If the scalp is not
properly cared for the hair stops
sprouting.
Each hair consists of a canal, the
root or matrix, and the sebum, an oily
substance. which supplies the hair
with nourishment. Under normal con-
ditions the sebum is liquid oil. In
illness, or if irritated, or unduly SUBJ
jected to pressure, the sebum thickens
coaguiates and forms hard little glo-
bules, which choke up the matrix. The
hair is shut off from its source of sup
ply and withers.
1t will readily be seen that heavy
and hard hat, such as a derby, or a
heavy straw hat. is bound to exert a
deleterious pressure. Clipping the hair
or wearing it very short. leaves the
hair at the mercy of atmospheric con-
ditions, of cold, heat, and dust. The
TO Goa gjlate when the temperature is
low, and while the long hair of women
affords a protection that is ample
a gginst this condition, the short hair
of men positively invites destruction
of the hairsroots

dieting They should teach a stu
dent what to eat as one of their very
first duties. They should have him
experiment with different kinds OF
food so that he will know what his
individual system requires. And he
should learn to restrain himself from
eating the things which he does not
need and which merely burden his
system"
Prof. Patten said that a man could
teach himself to restrain his appetite
in the presence of a large Thanks
giving dinner just as easily as in the
presence of a cocktail or highball.
The professor admitted that in his
own case he could not hold back
when turkey was placed before him,
but he put that down to lack of dis
ciplinary training in his youth
