The massage Of the scalp Is at the
root Of all treatment Of the hair. BY
stimulating the flow Of blood to the
scalp new visor is given to the hair.
The hands should be half folded
and the ends Of the fingers made to
touch the scalp lightly. Then rub
them slowly over the scalp. It is con-
venient to begin at the back Of the
neck and rub the scalp slowly up the
center of the head to the forehead.
Then the rubbing should be done all
over the head from one side Of the
scalp to the other. It should be re-
peated several times. The fingers
should be pressed on the scalp with

Of Commerce interests are Of course,
very powerful in Minneapolis business
circles, and the work done by the big
Minneapolis papers, in connection with
the Chamber of Commences assault on
the Farmers Equity Exchange, gives
evidence of the power of such alliance.
The big Minneapolis papers have made
little of important evidence brought out
against the Chamber of Commerce, and
have played up prominently every tech
nicality in the Chambers assault on the
Equity people. One Of these newspaper
attacks was so raw that the paper max
ing it found it necessary to retract the
next day. Since then formal demand for
a full and complete retraction has been
made on that paper by the Equity Elk
change. 1t looks now as if big libel
