demanded. AS yet the banana seems to

arc all used. Much of the fruit now used

HE general health is usually i'm

cases the general health is

How to Do It.

To begin with, give the hair a sensible.
careful shampoo. Let it dry naturally
In the open, shaded air. II you have an
electric fan, you can quicken the drying
process with this. But on no account
allow your hair to be dried by one of
those misunderstanding hot air dryers that
are the pride of so many hairdressers
and the ruination of so much healthy
hair.
After ii has dried thoroughly rub a
little Oil into its roots. Naseline care
fully rubbed in. will do. and kerosene or
crude petroleum oil is better still But
whatever oil you use, rub ii well into the
scalp. The oil and the massage which
puts 1t into the roots of the hair are
both things your poor, abused head needs
Rub more oil into your hair in a week.
If the hair is much broken or very brit
tie. And continue this treatment each
week until you see results in thicker and
softer hair. In month give the hair
another thorough shampoo.
Velvet Hat Harmful.
Don't think that because too much sun
is bad for the hair little is not good
thing. Like pleasure or almonds or
money, little is as healthful as too
much is harmful. So occasionally give
the hair short sun bath. and every day
give IL as nlucn air as possible. III Is "A
pity from the point of view of hair
health that velvet hats are so fashion
able: for any sort of hat that causes the
head to perspire IS bad for the hair, and
velvet hats surely do this.
1t is a very good plan. when the hair is
In poor condition, to change your way of
arranging it. Often the strain caused by
one way of arranging the hair eventual
ly breaks off many of the hairs close 10
the head. These can lily be spared when
the hair is in a poor and sparse condition
any way. So try doing it in another WAY
and in this way rest II. Always let the
hair down at night either braiding IL
loosely or tying it conveniently out OF the
way with ribbon.
Massage with the finger tips--firm,
regular massage. given for about ten min
utes a day. will work wonders with tired
and abused hair. This intelligent sham
pooling and the application of oil enough
to restore elasticity to IL. with occasional
clipping of the split and broken ends,
should bring health TO hair that Is In the

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-07-17

Twenty-Five people in Brattleboro's in
corporated school district voted the other
evening to raise the tuition for out OF
town pupils, to have medical inspection
in the public schools and to establish a
public playground. If there is complaint
of an oligarchy in Brattleboro, it will
not be due to the twenty five but to the
many times that number who failed to
attend and vote on three of the most
important measures that are coming be-
fore the towns and cities OF Vermont,
as in Brattleboro. But the twenty-five
seem to have conducted the affairs of
the school district as satisfactorily as
the entire voting population might have
done, for which Brattleboro ought to feel
fortunate.

What Rural Vermont Needs.

President Thomas of Middlebury col
lege gets substantiation for his state
ment that what the rural communities
need is men of education and purpose
who viii devote themselves to the work
of uplift. in the words of John r, How
ard of Boston, who at meeting where
rural problems were being discussed, de-
clared: THE rural population is with
out leadership. The most energetic hay.
ing moved on to the cities. the residue
represents sort of dead level from
which enterprise cannot be expected .
In some communities this is undoubtedly
true. but there are also communities
right here in Vermont that are lifting
themselves from nat dead level almost
by their own boot straps. But progress
would be quicker with little of the
outside help of the kind President Thorn
as suggests.-St. Adams Messenger.

There is no reason to ask whether the
safe and some Fourth idea is successful
when one is told that the Pennsylvania
state health department has received
only four reports of lockjaw from the
use of toy pistols at the recent celebra-
ton of Independence day. As compared
with the record Of former years, this is
very small indeed-so small as to mean
practical elimination of this terrible fea-
ture of the celebration. In Vermont this
year not a single case of lockjaw re-
sulting from the Fourth celebration has
been reported, showing that this state is
making progress along with her sister

pattern for each house, delivered on the
site, consists of all necessary lumber,
bricks for chimney, metal roofing laths,
two glass paneled doors, four windows,
locks, hinges, nails. The location of
doors and windows is optional with the

seems to be disposition to stop the
speeding of automobiles. Judging by the
number of arrests, but there appears to
be marked difficulty in some places in
determining what constitutes a careless

to have been more explicit; or perhaps
another legislation ought to define more
clearly what shall be violation of the
law.

it be man who is in closer touch with
affairs Immediately connected with the
two companies business and with the
field in which they are operating. Hav-
ing an executive head located 200 miles
away and paying only occasional visits
to his properties is a good deal like alb
sentee landlordism; il prevents him from
presenting the companies case to the
best advantage to the higher railroad
circles of the parent railroad system.
