When wood alcohol preparations
of witch hazel or bay rum are ap.
piled to the face and then followed
by a hot towel, the hair dresser or
barber has done his worst. The hot
towel opens the pores of the skin
and causes the blood to absorb the
poison. at the same time the nose
inhales quantities of the fumes.
Though the barber and hair dress
er pass numerous diseases from pa
tron to patron, there is one malady
il particular which they distribute
so uniformly that virtually nobody Is
without it. This is dandruff, caused
by the microbes of seborrhea.
Dandruff does not cause sores
and immediate badness as do ring
worm and alopecia areata, yet it Is
the largest cause of our hair troubles.
To understand how dandruff slowly
but surely causes falling hair, thin
ming hair and finally badness, 1t is
necessary to consider the hair mi
croscopically. The hair is tough,
hard, elastic shaft held in a little
tube in the scalp called a follicle

the hair is a tube containing nutri-

dampness are the natural enemies of
hair. To keep the hair damp or wet
for long periods is to ruin it utterly.
The barber uses lather on the
beard before shaving because the
soap removes the oil and allows the
water to attack the hair. making it
so soft that the razor mows it
down easily.

are not poisonous He also knows
that the cheapest grades are often
adulterated with refined wood
alcohol and other poisons The mid.
die grades are gamble. Some are
safe and some are poisonous.
There is always the temptation
for the honest barber to take
chance with the middle grades.
Whatever he does, he must meet
the competition of the wood alcohol
user on the next street.
In only four States of the Union
is there law against using wood
alcohol externally In the other
States the barber is free to use
wood alcohol in preparations, even
If he Is aware OF 1t. The manufac-
turer is liable to punishment if de.
tected.
Recently the Committee on Pre-
vention of Blindness of the New
York Association of the Blind has
pursued some OF these manufactur-
ers in the criminal courts. and had
them punished. 1t was done after
their attention had been called to
several cases of blindness which
seemed to be connected with bar
Der shops. Investigation proved that
these shops were using bay rum and
witch hazel containing wood alcohol
in the refined state called "Colum-
bian spirits"
Every one knows better than to
drink wood alcohol. Where death
and blindness have resulted from
drinking, 1t has been mistaken for
grain alcohol.
Few people understand that the
fumes of wood alcohol are poison
Gus enough to cause blindness. If
wood alcohol preparation is sopped
on the face after a shave and the
towel containing It held there a
moment it Is enough to cause
poisoning of the optic nerve.
Wood alcohol fumes do not take
effect at once. You will walk out Of
the barber shop feeling quite as
usual About eighteen hours later
dizziness may appear. followed by
total or partial blindness. There Is
no known treatment for wood
alcohol blindness The poison seems
to have an affinity for the optic
nerve and singles 1t out above all
other parts of the body for attack.
Breathing very small amounts of
wood alcohol fumes at frequent in
tervals will not cause blindness, but

vision. II your eyes have beer

The hair. now starved and withouE
any anchor, shrivels and is ready
to fall out the next time you pass
comb through your hair.
Nature is not easily discouraged,
and having lost the hair she seems
TO have way of getting rid of the
microbes long enough to start the
pulp at work giving birth to a new
hair. When this is full grown 1t Is
subject to new invasion of the
dandruff microbe and the loss of
the new hair.
1t is estimated that the normal life
OF a hair is from ten to twelve
years. Nature is ready to rethatch
your head every ten years or
oftener, and keep it up for one hun
dred years. But with dandruff she
has to give you new outfit every
year or so on an average. This ex-
hausts the fecundity of the follicles
and your badness is the result of
their having given birth to their last
hair long before Nature planned.
1t is important to remember that
the hair is very elastic. 1t is easily
stretched, but once stretched 1t
never springs back, as does rubber
and other elastic substances. When
hair has been stretched 1t has been
ruined, and though it may be alive
and healthy at the root, 1t will soon
break where it has been stretched.
Men rarely stretch their haif
enough to injure 1t, because 1t is so
short that it can't be pulled without
tugging at the roots and hurting.
Women seize their tresses near
the head, thus relieving the SCALP
from all pressure, and tug away
with their combs as hard as they
please.
When hair comes out you can
easily tell what caused its fall. II
both ends look alike you may be
sure it broke off on account OF
stretching or Of your curling Iroa.
If it shows tiny bulb at one enc
you may thank the dandruff germ

nourishment to the hair is as ridicu.

body advertises tooth powder as a

Bile as to suppose that medicine APP

AS the whistling begins, however,

In Chart No. 2, the mountain-like
irregularities in the respiration-line

The effect of sudden noises upon a

and simultaneously another appar.
atus is used to record the baby's
espiration-curve. This instrument
is called pneumograph and is ap-
piled to the baby's abdomen.
DR.. Canestrini made nearly 300
separate tests to show the effect OF
different noises or sounds upon
babies. In these experiments he
used over seventy babies of ages
from six hours to fourteen days.
Some of the babies were asleep and
others awake.

Or. Canestrini with his various ma

first case we have the common form
of dry dandruff. In the second case
the result is greasy scales.
On goes the microbe down the

proceeds, but doing little direct dam

bottom.

DIR. Canestrlni concluded that
wherever record of this kind
shows an increase of pulse or an in.
creased respiratory activity, it may
be attributed to some unpleasant
sensation which disturbed the in.
FAINT, while decrease in pulse or
respiration and an even curve-line
indicates a pleasant sensation.
1t ought not to be difficult there
fore with instruments of this kind
to compare the relative efficacy of
different lullabies upon a particular
child, and it might very we'll be pos
sible by a series of experiments to
