NOBLESSE OBLINGE

War has brought sadness to many,
both of high and low degree, even in
this country, but, perhaps, none have
suffered more peremptory hardship
than the patients of the new Free Hos
pital for Animals in New York City.
Only last March the New York Won
ems League for Animals opened its
new, splendidly equipped, s125,OOO
building and proclaimed to all the city
that any sick animal would be cared
for free of charge. Alas for the in-
tentions of the members of the
league! Among all the other hard
ships, the war brought in its train, It
brought the closing of the hospital.
After few most successful months
the hospital has been forced to refuse
all new patients, dismiss those already
under its roof, and even curtail its dis
pensary hours. Its resident veterin-
airy is now there only from ten tc

CARE OF THE HAIR

ChhL UC HE HAHN
We never miss the water till the we'll
runs dry, is homely old adage APP
plicable to many things, not the least
of which is the hair, a feature of ex-
ceeding Importance to the preserva-
ton of a youthful and comedy appear
ance. Nevertheless, scant apprecia-
ton is accorded it until the hair runs
dry, when dandruff, falling hair, gray
ness, badness, and all kinds of trou-
bles ensue, and the entire confgura-
ton of the face and head is changed
Scant hair, or the absence thereof, is
never becoming, and artificial locks
can never take the place of natures
supply.
Prophylaxis is the watchword of
modern medicine; it means a guard
ing against unhealthy conditions. Now,
: the time to care for the hair is when
/ it least appears to need it. 1t is then
that an occasional shampoo of an
Indifferent nature ard a few minutes
brushing or arranging is all the care
it receives. The remaining time goes
up to the hair is devoted to its abuse
-scorching and drying with hot irons;
dressing it carelessly and tightly; fast
ening it close to the scalp and hair
roots with metal pins that press on
local nerves and blood vessels; over
heating the scalp with artificial pieces;
wearing the hair done up" during
sleep.
Women do all these things, while
men wear stiff hats many hours of the
day that leave deep ring of depress-
ion around the hair, thus attesting to
the extent to which nervous impulses
and the circulation of the blood are
interfered with. Stiff hats also over
heat the scalp, while the habit OF
wetting the hair daily has a further
tendency to injure the roots. These
things, apparently slight in themselves
torture the hair and scalp, and the
fresults are seen by the time middle

life is reached, or even earlier, in a
general breaking down of the hair.
To the direct neglect and ill-treat-
ment mentioned above, must be added
the general condition of the body, es-
pecially the nerves, because the hair is
an appendage of the nervous system.
Strange as this may appear to one who
is not familiar with the subject, 1t Is
nevertheless true that the hair and the
nerves have common origin, and that
is the skin or outer covering of the
body. So everything that affects the
nerves seriously must have a decided
action upon the hair. Perhaps the
best illustration of this is observed in
typhoid fever, known in German as
nerve fever" in which the hair us
usually lost. But any deterioration
of the general health affects the hair,
and this is notably the case in func-
tional disturbances of the system in
which the blood is not in good condi-
ton. or in which the nervous system is
RIM down.
Now, one may be perfectly healthy
and yet so abuse the hair that it deter
iorates early in life; whereas one may
be comparatively frail and still, by
ccaxing and feeding the scalp AMI
brushing and caring for the hair daily,
develop it into "a thing of beauty and
a joy forever

over this and cook in a hot oven until
set-that is all!
Fresh fish, delicately PANIED, is
sure of welcome; or salt fish, broil-
ed or creamed. Meat is growing less
popular, and for this one should be
glad. To simplify work, there are
combination dishes--eggs, cereal and
milk in one-of which the hominy
puffs and spoon bread are typical. To
vary the flavor and value of rolls or
hot breads, whole wheat, graham and
rye fiours may be kept in the pantry,
as we'll as white. If baked with mini
mum of shortening, hot breads served
occasionally need not be unwholesome.
The success of these breads depends
almost as much upon the baking as
the ingredients or proportions used.
Flours and making powders vary in
quality, and it may sometimes be neces
sary to increase or decrease given
quantities. Toasted, pulled or twice
baked (zwieback) bread is better for
young children, or anyone troubled
with weak digestion.
Coffee is matter of choice; cocoa
may be substituted; pure milk is al
ways the best beverage for children.

AND WHAT FOR
BREAKFAST?

In many homes this is easily an
swered, writes Mamel Dulon Purdy, in
a current magazine, by the simple
, trinity-fruit, rolls and coffee-and the
family goes on it's way content-and
we'll; in others, such a breakfast
would scarcely be nourishing enough
or satisfying. Perhaps an active day
begins at five-thirty or six; perhaps,
there is heavy piece of work to be
accomplished out of doors before noon;
perhaps there are number of hungry,
growing children, facing long tramp
| to school. In such cases something
sustaining as well as appetitzing is in
order. But whatever the established
breakfast may be, monotony should be
studiously avoided, for it is the morn
ing appetite that requires the most
coaxing, and if you can send your fam
lily Off to work or play, with the mem
ory of a well-served breakfast, "the
clouds of a fortune must roll up very
heavy, dark and threatening before
they can spoil the day which has be-
gun so happily"
Fruit is always advisable, but there
are times when it requires much in
aenuity to provide it. A large glass
of fresh water half an hour before ear
ing will help; dried fruits may be va
ricG by serving purees, or by conf
oining two or more kinds; the stand
by apple may be carameled or fried &C.
casionally, while the grated rind and
juice Of an orange can lend new intet-
est to the always popular apple sauce.
Orange juice with a teaspoonful or
more of olive observed in thin glass
lis refreshing, nourishing, and an
excellent natural laxative. Bananas,
stewed figs, grated pineapple, suggest
possibilities.
For active people or growing child
reu no food is better than a we'll
cooked cereal. Here the firelass
cooker is a boon; Eight hours over
night insuring a wholesome break
fast Poorly cooked cereals are in
diSestible, and as a consequen e their
full nutritive value is lost. Oatmeal,
ccInmeal, barley, rice and the manv
wheat preparations offer a wide
choice; the standard ready-cooked
cereals, requiring crisping only, are
a convenience, while cereal CAKES,
mullins and breads are quite worth
while when the baking can be man
aged. Many enjoy nodded cereal,
either re-heated or cold, with chopped
Oates added before molding,
There are at least half l2dred
interesting ways in which eggs may
be served; cream or tomato sauce
poured over the toast before the
poached eggs are added eggs baked

A reed pipe set unto her mouth
From out the sun glades of the South

The willows flush with orange fire;
A fame of crimson tips the brier;
A beam of beryl runs across
The snow-free edges of the moss
The balsam bough is like Tyre.
"A tender and elusive light
Hangs mistily about the height;
From out the rillet's swelling throat
There rings lyric rapture note;
And there are whispers in the night.

The anthem of awakening!

For it shall soon be ours to drain
