COLD CURE FOR BADNESS

Can badness be cured by cold at
mosphere treatment? The question
has attracted the attention OF scient-
lists.
Sir Ernest Shackleton. the explor-
er. laid stress upon the fact that many
of the men in his expedition before
their sojourn In the Antarctic regions
were remarkable for the thinness OF
their locks. They had barely been a
few weeks in the frozen south. how
ever. than their hair began to grow,
and when they returned from their
expedition all had hair remarkable for
its thickness and luxuriance.
II has been remarked also that near
ly all the men who work the greater
part OF the day In cold storage rooms
have good heads OF hair.
1t may be that some enterprising
person will soon start the cold cure
for badness.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis

found that fish frozen in antarctic ice
