Use of Ailanthus

But the forest service. which has been

great quantities of ailanthus in the east,

valleys, where it has been naturaized
from specimens introduced from China,
unit ii is now more abundant than some
of the native species. Its wood has been
used in small quantities for boxes and
crates, but no other use has been re-
ported. The Indiana state board of for
estry and the forest service co-operated
III obtaining a small consignment for an
excelsior factory, where it was found that
alanthus does not work up into good ex-
celsior because the product was not
springy and the stran~S tended to break
and crumble under pressure, This may
have been due in some measure to the
fact that he wood had been kiln dried
and further experiments will be under
taken to Sc whether air dried material,

Haircutfing Causes Badness.

Several matters of interest to the
mere layman engaged the attention of
the British Medical Conference at
Brighton last week. DR.. Barendt, a
skin specialist, for example, suggested
too much hair cutting as a cause Of
badness.
Why is it there are so many bald
men and so few bald women?" he
asked Il believe 1t is because men
will not let their hair grow to a proper
length, The average man wears his
hair about an inch long, whereas it
should be at least 13 or IA inches
DIR. Rarendt afterward explained that
he considered nature was affronted by
frequent cutting of the hair. If 1t Is
not allowed to grow to the length l
have mentioned it becomes dry and
loses its strength much in the same
way that the muscles of the body be-
come habby and weak if they are not
| exercised"
| Dr. David Walsh, a Harley street
| skin specialist, told the meeting that
| he considered the abnormal loss OF
hair on the head, as we'll as many
skin diseases, was largely associated
with defective eircula ton of the blood.
Loss of hair might often be taken as
a sign of heart trouble. In support OF
| this he found that out of SO bald per-
sons he had examined "A were suffer-
ing from valvular disease of the heart.
DR. Eddowes, however, mentioned tho
case of an extremely bald man whd
was one of the most powerful gym
nasts he knew.-New York Sun.
