 The Hair.
 The two principal causes which bring about a premature thinning of the hair are deficient circulation of the blood in the scalp and the con stant presence of danuruff. Daily l brushing of the hair and frequent i shampooing will keep the scalp free from dandruff. Frequent brushing 1 and combing the hair increases the l growth of hair by stimulating the cir | culation in the scalp and by remov l ing dandruff. If your hair IS begln- ning to fall out prematurely it is well t0 begin shampooing once or twice week and gradually reduce to once in three or four weeks. Use any good toilet soap for the shampoo. Tincture ! of green soap thoroughly cleanses the scalp. If the scalp remains dry after the stimulus of shampooing yaseline or olive oil may be massaged into the l scalp Derby and like hats tend to ] produce badness. Savages and some not savages like Academy students ! who go bareheaded do not suffer from badness. Keep the children's hair cut often-frequent cutting of the 1 hairs. Singeing the hair is an ab- i surd idea-as are all hair restorers 1 and most hair tonics.
 Care of Nose and Throat
 To keep the nose and air passages below it in healthy condition, the nostrils must be open for the passage of air. The eommonest cause or l stopping up the nose in children is 1 enlargement by adenoid growth of the pharyngeal or third tonsil-this is 1 placed back or behind the rear open l ing of the nose, and when enlarged may obstruct breathing. Practically i all mouth breathing children have this i form of obstruction. If this form Of l nasal blocking be allowed to persist l it flinders development of the inner 1 nose from non use-it retards mental and physical growth. In adults, de- formities of the septum CT polyps are i the most frequent causes of nasal ob- ! struction. 1 think every one today I realizes how important-how very inn pcrtant it is to have nasal and throat ] defects removed. Children suffering; { from enlarged tonsilS often show marked gain in weight and health af- l ter their removal, and in adults con- | tinually recurring infection necessi- ! tates treatment and removal of the tonsils before proper hygeine of the throat can be affected. Bathing the throat with cold water daily is 1 tonic to the throat. Catarrh is en- demic to New England and one of it's treatments is Keeping the body in it's best physical condition.
 Ears.
 An undue amount of wax does not collect in healthy ear Often those ! who keep or try to keep the canal or
 the ear. clean with spoons. hair pins etc, ] have the largest and hardest masses 1 If wax or cerumen in their ears. Rarely or never drop oil or any other liGuid in the ear Never wear cotton ] in ears except in emergency If for ei2r bodies become lodged in the ear, try turning head to side of ear af- l fected and gently rubbing in front of i ear.--if this is unsuccessful, get an expert to remove as soon as possible
 Eyes.
 Sight is one of the most important senses we have. Some people have second sight-some see double es- pecially after liberal potatton. Some never see through anything-some l can look in four directions at once 1 especially school teachers but to one i and all the hygeine of the eye is ap | important subject. The eyelids are of 1 delicate construction and the physi- elan is often enabled to judge well of l the general circulation from their ap- pearance. Rings around the eyes mean sluggish circulation or changes i in the composition of the blood. Putf1- ness or swelling of the lids often is a sign of disease of the heart or kid i neyS-SometinmeS seen in young ladies in the early morning means a 1 quarrel the night before. Black eye | IS d Slnple 6AlFdNdSdllOn OI DlOOu lnlO the loose tissues of ids-ice applied ( continuously helps this condition or | try sopping on warm olive oil Black 1 eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes, all color ! of eyes possessed by some ladies is | etioIogical factor in the causation of heart trouble usually affecting some man.
 The human eye is subject to many defects-far sightedness-near sight edness and asugmatism, all of which should be corrected by an occulist and no other.
 Some of the local symptoms of eye strain are discomfort and pain in the eyes. letters running together after reading few moments, twitching of l the eyelids, difficulty in keeping eyes open in reading, smarting, itching, | burning, and watering, sensitiveness 1 to light and conJection-these or any of these symptoms persisting, an oc- culist should be consulted.
 l might mention some of the reflex symptoms of eyestrain, headache of ten accompanied by nausea, and made worse by reading, sewing, shopping etc. obstinate constipation, indiges- i tion, vertigo. general nervousness, ner- vous prostration etc.
 Schools: had better be principally lighted from the North and windows should be so placed that the light may come from the left or left and rear over pupils heads. Tn the country where people are dependent upon kerosene lighting, young should read very little or not at all by lamp light, and adults sparingly. Here are some things to avoid in order to save the eyes; anything which requires con- stant looking upward, reading in cars and carriages, reading in bed, close application to sewing and embroidery ] too much smoking and drinking. i have spoken at length upon the eyes ! the subject demands more; above all never take your eyes for treatment to | anyone but physician or ocuiist
 Mouth and Teeth.
 Never place in your mouth anything that has been in another's mouth without proper washing, teach chill i dren to never swap apples, lolly-pops l chewing gum etc, r0r many diseases may be thus innocently contracted ! PromiscuoHs kissing should befaVoided. i In selected cases the ausculatory art i Is hygeinic, as to the teeth, we can not take too much care of the teeth i How many present would be glad to i have the opportunity to have their | young teeth back again and what | beautiful care they would receive | Children and I might add adults | should have a dentist frequently ex- anime teeth and all cavities in teeth i filled and accumulations on teeth i about gums removed.
 Eating.
 It has been said that a mans heart | may be won through his stomach More men and some women are in- jured by overeating than undereating. | .s.... A14
