Dear Mrs. Thompson: ID What
can you do to keep your hair from
being oily and what is good to make
| your hair grow?
90 What can you do to make a
young boy stop smoking cigarets?
A FRIEND.
% Too much washing. especially
if hard water is used, is injurious to
the scalp and makes the hair brittle
and lifeless. The following prescrip-
ton is fine for cleaning the hair: Elk
tract of witch hazel, one pint; eau de
cologne, eight ounces, chloroform, one
dram. Brush the hair well every night,
being careful not to irritate the scalp.
Braid it very. loosely at night, for free
circulation OF air through 1t is neces-
sary to its health. a gentle massage
of the scalp, using the balls of the
fingers and a rotary motion, promotes
good circulation and hence gives more
vigor to the hair.
The following is as good a lotion
as is known to invigorate the hair:
Sweet almond oil, two ounces; eau
de cologne, one ounce; resorcin, one
dram.
Washing the scalp in a tea made
of wild sage (obtainable at any drug
store) is good.
co That is a hard question, my
dear. If one says too much the boy
continues, only he does it on the sly
and is apt to get with bad COM
panions. Try to make him see that
he is undermining his health; for
whatever may he said about SmOLS-
ing by an adult, all agree that it is
injurious for boy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: What shall

his arm around me? / 40 not like

HELEN.
Ny dear Helen, am glad you ask !
ed that question, for it gives me a |
chance to say something l have in /

has been called to the subject very
forcibly lately, because of some /
things I have seen. You can be very

bloom has not been rubbed.
Der Mrs. Thompson: What is
the right time to force bulbs? What
kinds are most successful?
EDITH.
The paper narcissus, hyacintns
and daffodils are all successful. Put
in pots in a warm, dark place for
two or three weeks; in fact until
they show a little point of green
through the earth. They must be
kept moist but not wet. Put in sun
and they will grow rapidly.
Get the bulbs now but do not plant
until November unless you want
earlier blooms. II is well to have
the pots taken out of the dark about
two weeks apart so the blooms will
be scattered through the winter.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How can
clean a lace collar and cuff set for
coat so that it will look like new?
A. T.
Basic the lace on a cotton cloth
very carefully; then stretch the cloth
over a big water bottle or vinegar
jug q use a mixing bowl for my
collar Take nail brush and scrub
the lace with soap until it is per-
fectly clean. Rinse with very hot
