If you have dandruff, it comes from some other source than mere outward infection. Look behind it all. Don't be satisfied to buy some so-called dandruff cure and rub on your scalp. Ten to one, it will do harm rather than good. Personally, I do not be- HeVe in drugs of any kind for the hair. Plenty of good shampooing and massage and sunlight are the best cure-al1s one can employ.
 If your physician tells you that your bodily health Is good, and still your hair continues to fall and look un- kempt go to a scalp specialist (and by a scalp specialist I mean a doctor who specia1izes on diseases of the scalp), and find out what aiIs your scalp. Sometimes the remedy will be merely easy home treatments. Some times he will tell you to go to a

He had spent many comfortable win ters in that room. But now there was n frown on his face as he read the let ter in his hand It was from Simpson and stated among other things, that Cyrus Whitaker had been absent from Bayport for over two weeks and that no one seemed to know where he had gone.

beress people read nothing but these
headlines, being able to draw up the

enormous amount OF time saved, II may
be added, is not the only advantage TO be
gained by combining ones self 10 headlines.
one also happily misses the disappoint-
ment. not unusual In many papers, OF
finding the whole headline story contra
dicted i'm the course OF the article.
Along the same time conserving lines as

gathered up by certain weeklies present
ing all the worlds happenings from some
one persons point OF view. thus saving
the reader the necessity OF having to
the conglomerate mess.
These. as we'll as all other hurry devices
which save thinking. are, as will readily
be seen, the most advantageous. Because.
of course. thinking takes more time and
yields less concrete results than any other
occupation. 1t is certainly a luxury that
