TO MAKE YOUR HAIR
MORE BEAUTIFUL

To give your hair that gloss and luster
and wavy silky softness, use Harmony
Hair Beautifier. 1t takes away the dull
dead look of the hair, and makes it
bright-turns the stringiness into fluff
ness-overcomes the oily odors and
leaves sweet, true-rose fragrance
makes the hair easier to put up neatly
and easier to keep in place. 1t is just
exactly what it is named-a hair beauti-
fer, and whether your hair is ugly now
or beautiful, it will improve its appear
ance. You'll be proud of and delighted
with the results, or your money back.
Very easy to apply-simply sprinkle a
little on your hair each time before
brushing it. Contains no oil; will not
change the color of hair, nor darken
gray hair.
To keep your hair and scalp dandruff-
free and clean, use Harmony shampoo.
This pure liquid shampoo is most eonye-
nient to use, because it gives an instanta-
neous rich foaming lather that immediate
" penetrates to every part of hair and
scalp, insuring a quick and thorough
cleansing. Washed off just as quickly,
the entire operation takes only a few
moments. Contains nothing that can
harm the hair; leaves no harshness or
stiekiness-just a understanding cleanli-
ness.
Both preparations come in odd-shaped,
very ornamental bottles, with sprinkler
tops. Harmony Hair Beautifer, $lO0.

teed to satisfy you in every way, or

The Advantages Country Children Have

Make Babies Better" by DIR. Roger III.
bennett, New York physician who is
authority ON the care and treatment of
children. Following is an extract from
DIR. Dement'S article comparing coun-
try children with city children:
when | think of the advantages
which country children have over the
city bred child, cannot help regretting
that all children are not born in equally
healthful surroundings. The country
child without the slightest effort can
breathe fresh air night and day At
night the city child may breathe fresh
air, such as it is, but in the daytime,
during the early years, he must play
upon the street alone, or the mother
must give up her household duties and
go with him to the park. If country
mothers knew how faithfully city moth
ers give their children this daily airing,
and knew what sacrifice it is to be
taken away from their household duties
so many hours each day, they would
realize how fortunate they are when
they can dress their children and set
them outside the back door to play by
themselves. The infant may sleep there
and the older child may
play alone, without fear of anything
harming him."

FOSSIL GEOGRAPHY.
How Petrifed Remains of Animals and
Plants Assist in Making Maps.


In these days of exploration few parts
of the globe remain unknown and UNI
chartered. and in our desire for new
lands to conquer we map the mountains
and deserts of the moon and the canals
of Mars Within the last few years, as
the work of the United States geological
survey has given biologists larger
knowledge OF the rocks OF the United
States. new sort of geography has
sprung up-fossil geography. In this
new geography the lands and seas of the
remote past are mapped in their true
form, and by means of these maps we
may follow the development of the
American continent and trace its many
changes of land and water from age to
age. Why should not the geography of
the American continent in remote geo.
logical time be of greater interests to
us here in the United States than the
present geography of the moon, or per-
haps even the present geography of the
interior of Africa. As the natural
wealth of the country is in large part
dependent on the rocks that make up the
crust of the earth, il is well to know
how and when the rocks We're formed. 1t
may seem scarcely possible to map these
ancient lands and seas by studying hand
fuls of fossils taken from the rocks on
their sites, but this is what is being done.
Fossils Determine the Age of Rocks.
The biologists can trace these geo
graphic changes by noting the extent of
successive formations and the changes IN
the character of the rocks, but the age
and the identity of a geological torfha-
ton must be determined principally by
means of the fossils it contains. The
more exact determination OF the ages of
sedimentary formations floors OF
ancient seas-makes possible, among
other things, the correlation from place
to, place of geographic changes and
shows the direction of invasion or re-
treat of oceanic waters

lists in their detailed work in strait

LAND FOR FILTRATION.
Clear White Quartz Sand is Common
Material.

In answer to any inquiry from Min
nesota, requesting information concern
ing sand suitable for filters, the United
States Geological Survey states that
clear white quartz sand of the proper
size is the common material used in
filter beds. The specifications for the
filtration plants at Springfield, Mass,
and Toronto, Canada, are practically
identical with those Of the Washington
plant and are as follows;
The filter sand shall be clean sand,
with either sharp or rounded grains 1t
shall be entirely free from clay dust,
or organic impurities and shall, if nee
essary, be washed to remove such ma
terials from it, The grains shall, all Of
them, be of hard material which will
shall not be less than OPS millimeter
nor more than OBS millmeter. The uni
formity eo-efiicient shall not be more
than 80. The sand shall be free from
dust and shall not contain more than
| per cent. finer than 0.l3 millimeter,
and shall be entirely free from par
ticles over 5 millimeters in diameter.
The sand shall not contain more than
2 per cent. by weight of lime and mag
nesia taken together as carbonates. In
all other respects the sand shall be of
quality satisfactory to the engineer"
Gravel for the floor of filters may be
broken trap rock or granite screened
to the proper sizes, or gravel screened
from sand and gravel banks af a sandy
nature. Gravel screened from hardpan
or clayey material can not be sufficient
clean. The gravel should not contain
more than a very small amount of
shale or limestone and should be washed
entirely free from material

Frozen and Dried Eggs to

PLAN SET FORTH
BY FEDERAL EXPERT
The New Form Will Soon
Be on the Mar
ket

Washington, Dec. l2.-Dr. Mary f.
Pennington, in charge of food research
work in the department OF agriculture,
told the House agriculture committee
yesterday that frozen and dried eggs
would solve the problem of high prices
and cold storage corners. Frozen and
dried eggs" said DR.. Pennington, "soon
will be marketed in small packages so
as to be available to every household
instead of for bakers and other manu-
facturers, as at present. Hard frozen
eggs will keep year and there is no
question but what dried and frozen eggs
win ultimately displace the cold stor-
age variety" Eggs cannot be kept in
cold storage and be fit for food longer
than 10 months, she asserted, and added
that dried and frozen eggs did not lose
any of their nutritiye value.

prevalence and progression is the most
necessary factor in public health admin
istration.
Sanitary science aims to do more
than to protect the general public against
the major pestilences. 1t not only con
templates the eradication of the com,
municable diseases, but aims at the
holding in check of all those agencies
which act TO undermine physical eff
cheney and to shorten life.
"The results of the past decade of
sanitary activity have been to prove
that the prolongstion OF life is entirely
practicable, and this prolongation has
been largely brought about by improve
ment in sanitary administration. The
value of public sanitation as q humani-
tartan measure has been recognized for
generations. Yet 1t is only comparative
ly recently that the economic aspect of
public health administration has re-
ceived serious consideration"
