Another Hair Wall
Dear MargerN Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
AS my hair is oily, thin and life
less-looking, especially after
shampoo, am seeking your advice.
l brush my hair daily and have
taken treatments for 1t for more
than year without result. What
/ want is hair with some gloss and
life to 1t. I would like to use
Henna tea to give my hair (Which
is dark brown a sort of reddish
tinge. VIII henna do this? II not,
what will? I will anxiously await
your answer. T. II.
/ think your system needs build
ing up. The hair will not thrive II
the body is not in good condition
Eat plenty OF wholesome food and
let milk take the place OF tea and
coffee. Drink a great deal of cold
water and exercise in the open air
as much as possible. If necessary
procure a good tonic from a ply
siclan.
Knead the scalp with the tips of
the fingers night and morning to
make it loose" and pliable and
promote the circulation of the blood
and of the natural oils. 1t Is very
necessary to the health of the hair
that this should be done. Here Is
a good tonic, / am told
One pint bay rum, one-half pint
clear alcohol, one-half ounce castor
oil, one-quarter ounce carbonate
ammonia, one-half ounce tincture
Of cantharides. Mix thoroughly and
rub into the scalp at night.
] would not advise the use of
henna tea or anything else that
will change tire color of your hair,
which will be pretty enough when
you get it in condition. However,
you have asked for the formula.
and here it is: Henna Tea-Five
cents worth of henna and quar-
ter of a pound of black tea. Boil
in pint of liquid until reduced to
half pint of liquid. Strain and use
at night before retiring. You must
try the preparation until you get
the desired shade.

How the Sophomores Beat the

When all became quiet "Nosy" and
his followers carefully emptied their
pockets and baskets. The baskets
were big enough to hold three men
and were to be filled with bread and
rolled TO the kitchen. But to con-
tinue;
"Nosy" opened the bottles and
spilled the contents all over The dane
ing floor. After this was done they
opened a window and joined the rest
of the class to see the fun at 7:45 p IN.
Promptly at 7:45 the freshmen crowd
came and started to dance. only to
find their shoes sticking to the floor.
When they discovered the cause they
We're intensely mortified Then one
of them came running in from the
kitchen and said;
THE bread Is all gone and one of
the windows Is open"
Then they realized that the sopho-
! mores had been the cause OF 1t. Their
meditation was interrupted by the
sounds of a sophomore song being
sung on the campus. Then two sopho-
mores yelled:
ut takes a sophomore to beat
"tougey," This was a nickname for
"freshy," or freshman.
All that week every "tougey" was
chaffed by every shoph they met, but
later It died out.

More Aid for Needleworker
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
In your paper of today I notice.,
an inquiry about the putting Of lace
on a circular piece of linen. copy
directions which have been tried
and found to answer admirably
In measuring the lace allow for
necessary fullness by laying 1t
around the article so that the outer
edge is perfectly fiat with half an
inch for joining. The next step is
TO shrink the lace, to do away with
the necessity of gathering.
To do this roll up the lace as
closely as possible, then take a piece
Of cord and, beginning at the middle
Of the roll, wind it round and round,
working gradually toward the end
that is sewed on the linen, not the.
scalloped edge. This done. wet
thoroughly the wound portion of the
lace and let 1t dry. Take Off the
string and you will find the lace Is
shrunk so that the edge that is to
be sewed to the linen is curved.
1t is now a simple matter to sew
the curved edge to the linen I hope
CLARA H." will find this satisfac-
tory. MRS. W. j. T.
Thank YOU. very, very much. A
similar method was suggested yes
terday. but your directions are g
little more explicit, ] think.

shooting up like weeds. Before we

other day he wanted to know
whether God was Il tall man or a

And | heard Davie tell Dorothy
that he could lick any boy in his

smile, nothing very babyish about
that remark, was there? And l
think it was quite true, because
one day he came home with a red
mark on his cheek and the knee out
of his right stocking. [ couldn't

is a fighter, but that he cannot get
the best of him. Look at them
nownp Mrs. Brown pulled the cur

Mother Dear leaned forward, too,
and exclaimed. With fists doubled
up tightly and coats on the ground,
Davie and Billy were dancing about
each other, while Dorothy and Mary
Elizabeth sat on the porch railing
and cried: Go it, go it!'
Occasionally Billy would lunge at
Davie. whereupon that young man
would duck his head and come up
giggling happily. Then he would
try to hit Billy, and that young
fighter would back away with sur
prising quicllness, considering the
fairness of his legs. After which

The reason Mrs. C. T. SIS pies are
so hard is because she does not 1se
enough lard. The right proportion
is: One cup of lard to three cups Of
flour, and handle as little as posi-
BILE. If one used much more lard
than that 1t would be too tender
and break. Use enough cold water
