crude or kerosene oil. He used it,,
and the hair all came in where it
had fallen out Che used kerosene),
and it is very thick now. The doctor
was surprised. and asked what he
had done. Kerosene oil is very good
for the hair and scalp. Rub in well.
MRS. j. NJ. 3.

Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth were
sitting on the front steps of the
Brown house, talking of the time
when they would be big enough to
go TO high school, and wear long
dresses, and have their hair braided
and turned under.
In the midst of the discussion
Helen Binks came along, her red
curls shining in the sun, arm in
arm with the oldest Wilson girl.
When they came to the Brown
house they paused a moment,
glanced at Dorothy and Mary Eliza

way Helen saying so that the girls

to face her friend. ''if you so up to

Caring for a Puppy
Dear Margery Doom

Lear hdFBeTy DOOus
am very much interested to
know about my young puppy. Could
l keep him down in my cellar? Our
neighbors told me that if left
him down a couple of months he
would become blind. How often
shall | give him a bath? What
shall | give him for food? Hoping
you will soon answer my questions,
l remain, w. III. JR.
Keeping your puppy in the cellar
will not hurt him If he has a COM
Portable bed and room TO run and
play. OF course you must take him
out in the street for a certain por-
ton of each day for exercise.
Give him bath as often as you
think he needs one. 1t is not good
to bathe young dog too often.
should think once every two weeks
would be enough, If the dog was
kept In a clean place.
Do not give a young dog meat.
Puppy cakes and milk make an ex-
cellent diet. When he gets older
give him bread moistened with
gravy, dry puppy cakes, and scraps
from the table Use your judgment
about the scraps. of course. 1t is
not good to overfeed a dog. Often
a dog will get reputation for surli-
ness when his real trouble is indi-
gestion.

A Stenographer' S Elbows

Dear Margery Doom:
/ have a good skin. and my hands
are soft, but my elbows are very
rough and red-looRing. They seem
to be covered with kind of goose
flesh. I am a stenogapher and
often rest my elbows on my desk.
Would this habit account for the
roughness? j will be very glad if
you can help me. ELLA X.
The habit probably has a great
deal to do with the roughness. Try
to overcome 1t.
Every night bathe the elbows
with hot water, and after drying
them rub a liberal amount of cold
cream into the skin. Bind them
with cloths so that the bedclothes
will not be soiled. Do not form the
habit of leaning your weight on
your elbows. This has a bad effect
on the texture of the skin.
