THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cia1 treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. AnOint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair

suffering women for the past 80 years.

Mass. are files containing huQdreds of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

Powder scented with Rose-

Did you ever scent your own powder
with fresh roses? If you have done it
once you will want to Go it again;
and If you never have done it try it
this year.
Make a powder from three parts Of
fine rice starch and one part of Orris
root. Put it in a tin box which has
a tight cover and bury fresh, strongly
scented rose leaves in it. Leave them
there for a day and then take them
out and put in fresh ones Keep this
up for a week and at the end of that
time the powder will be deliciously
scented.
Other highly scented flowers can be
used in the same way. but perhaps
no others. unless it be violets, are
quite so sure to give satisfactory re-
suits

Most of the statues in the public
