The bondholdcrs' committee OF IN,

this obtains they are nearer an under
standing.
The question OF which interest In the
road shall raise the $40, 100000 needed
for reorganization Is still an open one
II Is understood that the stakeholder,

n EALLY beautiful hair will redeem

SO perfect that it is not i'm

uriant hair. There are some cases
of glorious hair that seem q direct
gift from nature, they are SO unusual.
90 out of the ordinary, but in the aver
age case we can trace the condition Of
the hair to two sources, the bodily
health and the condition of the scalp.
This being SO, there is no reason why
every woman should not have locks
that are attractive and an addition to
her personal charms.
Color, abundance. texture and gloss
determine the beauty of the hair. The
color is due to the proportion of the
different chemicals in the pigmenta-
tion- For instance, blond hair is rich
in oxygen and sulphur, while brown
hair has a large proportion of car
bon. This increases as the hair turns
darker. and we find that red hair de-
rives its color from the large amount
Of iron in the coloring pigment. As
the cOlOr1ng matter IN the ua1r 1Olll-
cles lessons the hair becomes faded
and finally gray. AS time goes on the
change to white hair is aided by a
deposit of phosphate of lime in the
hair roots.
Why Hair Fades and Turns Gray.
Fading hair is the usual preliminary
to hair turning gray. It indicates
some condition-perhaps i'll health
that is depicting the hair follicles OF
the particular chemical to which 1t
owes its brightness. II this condition

MADAME ISE'BELL
Beautiful Hair Is a Normal Condition

The time to arrest gray hair is In
looks faded and an occasional gray
hair shows. When the hair really
turns white it indicates a complete
change in the chemical formation, and
there is no possibility then Of restor-
ing the color except by dyeing.
Hair Is composed Of the same ele-
ments that enter into the structure
of the nails. . modification Of the
epidermis forming tiny tube-like de-
pressions lying among the capillaries
and sebaceous glands in the under
cutaneous tissue. These depressions
are termed the hair follicles and they
are fed and nourished by a fine net
work of blood vessels that provide all
elements OF hair growth. Hair 10 cell

stantly forming at the roots.
luxuriousness.
This simple explanation Of the hair
structure shows the dependence Of the
hair on the nourishment provided by
the blood. Any condition of Ill health
that interrupts or depletes this sup
ply means thinning, falling or break
ing hair. As rule. good health means
good, normal hair and Ill health the
reverse.
There are exceptions to this rule.
for there are local and peculiar con-
ditions that sometimes govern the
growth of the hair. The oil supplied
factor in hair health; and IL this
comes harsh, dull, and inclined to
break; IL it is over-abundant, the
scalp becomes oily, the pores closed.
and dandruff Of a peculiarly unpleaS-
ant form is apt to result.
Why Some Men Are Bald.
A thin. tight scalp means thin. i'm
poverished hair. Luxuriant, glossy
hair grows from a fat, loose scalp, for
the reason that this cushion of flesh
provides room for q plentiful amount
of blood vessels and oil glands. A
tight scalp, that is. one that adheres
to the skull, is an abnormal condition
| that should be remedied by massage
and friction as soon as it is perceiv.
ed, for it is symptom Of approach:
ing badness.
You will note this condition on most
bald-headed men. When the scalp. is

completely atrophied and that there ID
little chance that hair will ever again
grow from them.
AS a rule women have fatter scalps
than men. This is pointed out by some
writer's as a sex difference, and the
true explanation as to why women
have more luxuriant hair than men
and are less prone to badness. My
experience, however, leads me to be
lieve that this difference in the scalI
is of comparatively recent date, and
due to mans incurable habit of over
washing his head, drenching it with
agreeably smelling nostrums and
wearing a stiff hat that presses tight
