Causes of Badness

The hair grows from a sac or fol-

sac IL the papilla. the productive or
gan. which takes from the hioa<sst-
nutriment that makes the hair grow
and the pigment that gives the hair
color. IL IS estimated that each hair
has a natural life OF from two TO six
years. At the end of Its life Il falls

hair or no hair at all may be the
result. or merely the pigment
forming sells may be diseased so
grow. but be gray or white. The
first sprinkling OF gray indicates
that the papilla on which the root
OF each hair grows Is losing its
power OF transmitting coloring mat
ter from the blood TO the pigment
cells and thence to the hair. And
the next stage of impairment OF the
papilla is the loss OF power TO pro-
duce new hair. So you see that
the first sprinkling OF gray may
he the forerunner of partial or total
badness. In all cases of dRndruff
and In other scalp disorders great
numbers OF germs are found on the
scalp. These germs or microbes get
down into the follicle and IL seems
that they infect the hair root. the
pigment-carrying cells. and the
papalls. thus contributing to. IL not

GEN. VILLA HARD HIT

WASHINGTON. Oct. 90

The embargo affects villa and

All munitions consigned to other

The presidents step is regarded
as a determined move to put an

TO REMOVE STAINS OF INK
Information That is Worth Belno
Made a Matter Of Household
Record.

One of the most maddening stains
is that of ink. The tim&honored
remedy for fresh ink is milk, and
many a good table cover, handker.
chief OF blouse has been saved for fu-
ture usefulness by placing the stained
portion in milk and allowing it to
stand. As soon as the milk becomes
discQlored pour it off and put on
fresh.
Where there is no color t. fade an
ink stain may be removed by pouring
a ten per cent solution of oxalic acid
on the stain and letting it stand a
few minutes before rinsing. This
should be repeated until the stain
disappears. The last rinsing should
be in water to which borax or ammo.

If the ink is dry and well set it is
hard to remove, but in most cases il
