What Every Woman Should Know.
New York. Aug. s.-why is thin.
ness a defect you should try to over.
come? .H,p t's
*rere are two reasons, In the first
pace. extreme thinness Is a sign OF
bad health. or Of constitutional weak.
ness at the least. In the second place.
the extremely thin woman grows old
and ugly with abnormal quickness.
Vitality and all-round muscular de-
velopment and perfect health depend
upon well.nourished tissues. The thin
woman may not feel lila nervous.
historical energy is one OF her symp-
toms--but the fact remains that her
tissues have not received and are not
receiving proper replenishment from
tho blood. She is not assimilating
ne. sod; It's nourishing elements are
not being utilized properly in the
wonderful natural chemistry Of the
BODY.
In one sense. abnormal thinness Is
a more dangerous malady than e5-
normal fatness. because the former
Is more subtle. Nature gives a warn
ing to the stout woman by making
her uncomfortable. particularly dur.
Ing the hot months. The thin woman
Is less lucky. She meanders along.
feeling strong enough TO perform the
duties that fall TO her lot. She Is
tired most Of the time. her face IL
pale. she suffers from indigestion, ca
and intestinal complaints. But
she doesn't suspect that anything
really serious Ia the matter with her.
But food 10 not the only factor to
be considered In the problem OF de-
velopment. There Is sleep. The time
when replenished tissue Is most easi-
ly renewed and rebuilt is the period
during which the body is completely
relaxed In sleep. which has rightly
been described as renewal" There
fore the thin woman should spend as
huch time as she possibly can in

COCOANUT OIL MAKES

II you want to keep your hair in

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain

and entirely greaseless) Is much bet
ter than soap or anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this

Simply moisten YOU hair with
water and rub II in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
