Why, darling, I love to give you
money for anything you want, and

THE ChILDS
SCALP
BY MRS. McCUNE.


~ NE dreadful point is involved for
a. both decency and health of a
childs head-the routing of the
unpleasant inhabitants which some
times invade the scalps of growing
children, to the modification of their
parents and the indignation OF school
ma ans. Eternal vigilance is the price
that must be paid to free The head
of these pests, and the good work
begins by sovering all the hair and
scalp with tincture of larksplr. which
is a powerful destroyer of the vermin.
This must be put on for three or four
nights in succession, the head wrap
ped up in a towel for sleep, and the
day following each application of the
lotion thoroughly washed with tine
ture of green soap lathered freely
over the scalp and then rinsed out
with successive hot waters. When the
hair is dry it must be vigorously
brushed and combed to rid 1t of the
slain insects and after three or four
treatments hot vinegar may be ap-
piled TO loosen the eggs from the
hairs. Keeping the scalp anointed
with olive oil and combing the head
every day with fine comb will pre-
vent the possibility of a second large
invasion of the creeping enemy, as
these detestable little colonies object
In the event of the scalp having
been made sore by the scratching of
the child's nails, it is wise to consult
a doctor as to what must be DONE as
a weak child would need one treat
ment and a strong one another. But
if there is only the least Inflammation
and no broken skin, this urgent will
be found soothing and nourishing to
the scalp:
oil of rosemary, one ounce: oil of
almonds, three ounces; oil of mace
thirty-five drops.
Nothing is SO enhancing to hair as
a satiny gloss and this is achieved by
the cleansing shampoo, with massage
of the scalp, brushing and an occas-
ionaI tonic dressing, though it is best
to leave the beauty of a child hair as
much as possible to natural methods.
for. like the skin of the face, the
scalp soon gets accustomed TO artif-
ciaI aids and will in time lazily de-
pend upon them
