AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Grown-ups may make a frock or a
coat answer very satisfactorily for two
seasons, but, unfortunately. children's
clothes have to be constantly replaced
as they are outgrown. This year. how
ever. fashion having eliminated super
fiuous frills and flounces, the making
over process is rendered less difficult.
Very often little frocks that have beer
outgrown have still enough good ma
terial in them to use in fashionlng
something new, and the design of the
sketch seems to offer good suggestion
for this.
ANY material may be introduced, al
though the original is in tete de negre
yelveteen with a guimpe of cream col
ored cuepe de chine.
The brief skirt is applied in box folds
to a broad, long wasted belt. which

Caring for Convalescent's Hair

Sickness of any sort. and particularly
if accompanied by fever, is extremely
hard on the hair. AS soon as the pa
it should be brought into play. If you
cannot afford the services of a profess
sional. with a little patience any deft-
fingered member of the family can ad-
minister the treatment.
Loosen the hair by giving the ends
of it two or three light shakes; place
the tips of the. fingers of both hands
at the juncture of the hair and the
forehead, and then work them with a
circular motion gently but firmly to-
ward an imaginary center at the top
of the head. AT each turn of the fin
gers let them work lightly on the sur
face and then deeply. The first mo-
tion is addressed to the hair follicles
themselves. the next to moving the
scalp on the head so as to make it
soft. yielding and fiexibla.
The second movement is made by
placing the tips of the fingers SO that
the forefinger of each hand will meet
at the spot where the massage left off.
This will bring the fingers of each
hand over an ear at the junctu1e of
manner as before, they should work
over the hair roots with light and deep
massage until the finger tips meet at
the same center at the top.
For the third movement of scalp mas
sage, the fingers of each hand are
placed so as to meet at the back of the
neck, where the hair begins, and. de-
scribing the same motions as before,
they work themselves upward to the
center This entire treatment should
not occupy over five minutes.
If the scalp is very dry and there is
dandruff of scaly nature. use a little
olive oil with the massage, and if the
scalp is very oily use a little alcohol in
connection with the massage.
A harmless tonic, which can be made
up at home, is this:

sure that between these two prices
there is a comfortable profit for the
man in the middle although all that
he does is to stand there between the
two extremes Of the transaction. But
that is his business and he is attend
ing to it. SO he gets off at Prosper
ity station.
Suppose that all the farmers in each
district were organized. Suppose that
they followed the plan of the Florida
or the California Fruit Growers.
Things would DO different. But it is
hard to make tho average farmer I'M
derstand this. He win listen to the
arguments of reformers and take
day Off to vote for this or that freak
law to prohibit something that does
not, affect him at all and that, there-
fore, is not his business. But he will
spend no time to come into town to
attend meeting that bears directly
on his business farming. He will
vote for constitutional amendment
to prohibit the use Of cigarettes, for
instance, when the chances are that
neither he nor any member of his
family uses cigarettes. So he is not
minding his own business. His bus
mess is to raise the best grain, vege-
tables, fruit, poultry or stock that he
can; to see that he is provided with a
cheap and sure means Of getting
these products TO market and to get
the best possible prices at the mar
ket place. He cannot do these things
by acting independently. He and his
neighbors must get together, act to-
gether and stick together. It may be
admitted that some farmers are
awakening to the fact that they are
business men and are conducting
their plants as if they were business
Institutions But the great majority
of these producers are just beginning
to realize that it is only by acting in
concert that the greatest good can
be accomplished. Mr. Farmer, you
who read this, are you minding your
business?
