band. Below the hat band zone,
strangely enough, the hair is healthy
and persists to old age and 1t is but
reasonable to believe that If the fall
ing out had been due to germs, or
parasites the badness would have
been general over the entire scalp,
even down below this zone. instead of
selecting the frontal portion, or the
dome of the head. Then, too, If the
deformity is caused solely by hair
parasites why is 1t that women escape
badness? They are certainly not inn
mune to other scalp diseases, and If
badness is contagious they have every
opportunity to catch the disease, If 1t
is catching.
"It is perfectly natural for the hair
to fall out and at certain seasons the
hair sheds profusely. and BARRIERS tell
one. and 1t is a common belief, that
when the hair begins to fall out 1t
should be kept cut short. 1t used to
be great graft among the BARRIERS to

the hair, so that its oily substance

can be done to any head of hair. Then.

Badness Is a habit disease. The
majority of. men when putting on their
hats work them back and forth with
one hand to make them fit snugly.
Often one sees a man who takes tw }
hands to the hat, and pulls hard on
the brim to force 1t we'll down on the
head. 1t is not hard to understand
that a tight fitting hat band, whether
OF a stiff hat or a soft one, must be
constructing a zone around the scalp
which seriously interferes with the
function of the nerves and blood ves-
sells passing under this zone. The
tighter this band, the more certain OF
ultimate badness, but even with tight
bands and heavy hats, there is GER
tain percentage who escape altogeth-
er. With these it is to be noticed that
the shape of the head and mode of
wearing the hair, has much to do with
preventing the trouble. But If a mans
head is very wide, or very round, or
If he is very prominent for and aft,
that man will become bald in time
because such a person, to make his
hat fit snugly, invariably pulls 1t down
tight. The man with low brow, and
thick, heavy hair rarely is bald. If
one wears the hair long and thick, II
acts as cushion and prevents, in a
large measure, the construction
caused by the hatband. The stiff
rigid hats universally worn at the
present day are causing a greater per
centage of badness among young mer
than formerly existed, and of these
the straw hat Is the worst offender
because 1t Is harder to keep from

150O B. c. gives eleven prescriptions
for badness"
To judge therefore from DR.. Cobb's
historical data, badness is a peculiar
ity of the human race. At least 1t Is
unknown among animals. But DR..
Cobb goes on to say that badness was
rare among the Jews except those
who wore the head gear of rank or
the metal helmet in war. The afflic-
ton is nearly unknown among semi
civilized people, he says.
"It Is hard to make the average
person believe that badness Is not a
disease caused by germs, or by dan
druff or by some of the scarecrow
names quacks use in their advertise
ments. That 1t is condition brought
about almost solely by the tight hat
band and heavy hat few will believe.
1t is granted. for arguments sake
only, that dandruff and certain scalp
parasites we'll known to skin special
lists may be causative factors in the
progressive thinning out of the hair,
but they become harmful only after
the tight hatband has caused tropic
changes in the nerves and blood ves-
sells which supply the crown of the
head. After the fatty cushion at the
top of the head is partly destroyed, the
scalp becomes bound. and the skin
thinned out and shiny, and it Is then
that the hair loses its vigor and the

able, too, that gentlemen who ride
much in automobiles, have the habit

ABOUT BADNESS
UNITED STATES SURGEON

Men Wear Them Too Tight About
Their Heads-Dandruff Has Moth

Have Same Conditions to Meet as
Men, Yet Are Not Bald.

Surgeon J. o. Cobb of the United
States Public Health service, Chica-
go. Ill, has compiled an interesting
paper concerning badness in men
and attributes the cause generally to
wearing Of hats that fit tight over
the head. shutting off the circulation
in the scalp and thus depriving the
hair of its natural sustenance.
"A large percentage OF men of all
civilized nations suffer from bald
ness" he says. 1T is not a new dis
ease. 1t was known by the grandsires
OF medicine, for Hypocrates and Aes-
culapius were as bald as Father Time
himself The mummy of Pharaoh
