NOT use t.
one Of the most. important details In the
care OF false hair Is TO keep II free from
dust Like your own hair. IL holds impurl-
ties and must be kept sCrupuousy clean.
Just as you give the hair that grows upon
your head thorough brushing every night,
you must give the same attention to your
switch, The hair should be stroked lightly
with the bristles in such a way that the
dust will be removed. Never omit this
brushing even n single night, for once your
switch or puffs become dust-laden II will
he a different matter to restore Them TO
their original condition.
METHODS OF CLEANING
In case you have already neglected to
cleanse your false hair properly, and IL has
lost its sheen and soft texture through
coating Of dust, you will have 10 dip II in
bath Of gasoline. DO this In the open
air or in a room with the windows wide
open, being careful there is no fire about
After every particle of dust has been re-
moved shake the hair well and hang II
where the air will have a free circulation
through It,
Unless the hair is Of the best quality It
will not stand washing with soap and
water.
Another successful method Of cleansing
false hair is n corn-meal bath. Heat the
corn meal and rub il gently but thoroughly
through the strands of hair. Then. fasten-
ing the top of the piece securely, brush it
with a long -bristled brush until every grain
of the meal has been removed
little brilllantine applied TO the hair
will restore it's sheen and keep IL soft and
pliahle. As too much oil will ruin the hair,
simply place n drop or two in the palm of
your hand, rub il over the bristles Of your
brush and then brush the hair. once every
month the false piece should be rubbed
with a little brillantine to keep il I'm con-
dition and to aid in preserving the dressing.
KEEP FROM LIGHT
No false hair. when not being worn,
should be exposed to the light The sun
and air will absorb the dressing and fade
its color. After being worn II must never
be put away until it has been smoothed.
There is nothing that looks worse than
false hair that is faded or dull looking.
Even the unobserving person can detect 1t
at once, and instead of improving the APP
| pearance of your coiffure it entirely spols
| il. False hair will last longer and look
| better if a few minutes each day is devoted
| to its care.

There was a time in football, and ii
wasn't so long ago, when if a so
called small team defeated an eleven
representing one of the larger colleges
or universities it would have been
guilty of lese majesty. 1t was seldom
that it happened. Occasionally, of
course, one of the big teams came a
cropper in an early-season clash, but
for the most part the games served
the purpose for which they were sched-
uled-namely, the mediums whereby
coaches gradually developed their
charges for the feature games of the
season.
Score Over Big Rivals.
But in recent years these smaller
elevens have been scoring victories
over their bigger rivals more frequent
ly. They have been climbing gradual
ly to the plane of the big teams, until
now many of the youngsters" are en-
titled to be classed with the big teams.
Swarthmore, Lafayette, Lehigh, Col
gate, Washington and Jefferson are
few of the smaller teams that at diff
ferent times in recent seasons have
developed power enough to score vic
tories over the "big uns" in the early
practice games.
The reason for this is evident. The

placed II pounds of corn in every 100
pounds gain made by the hogs. Rape
replaced Ga pounds and soy beans 81
pounds. All these hogs received corn
in addition to pasture. They made
cheaper gains than those fed only

Rape makes an abundant, palatable
growth and has long grazing season.
An acre will usually supply green feed
for three months for 80 hogs weigh

Soy beans may be grazed from July

small colleges have engaged goot
coaches. These mentors have beeI
able to whip their material into ma
chimes capable of playing the best OF
football. Furthermore, since beating q
big team is quite a feather in the CAP
of the little eleven the coaches have
rushed the perfection of their teams
for these early games. The smaller
elevens are developed earlier than the
big ones, the coaches of the big ones
preferring to perfect their machine; by
degrees, always working with the one
or two big games on the schedule as
the objective.
Good Example.
Tufts is a good example of the early
development of a small eleven. When
Tufts invaded the stadium at Cam
bridge recently there were few who
anticipated defeat for Harvard. Tho
majority viewed the game as an early
season romp for the Crimson. Instead
Tufts won by to 3 count.
Critics were at loss to understand
whether the upset was due to weak
ness on the part of Harvard or strength
on the part of Tufts until Tufts invad-
ed Princeton and compelled the Tigers
to resort to a field goal in the closing
minutes of play in order to win.

Kidney Disorder
(By DIR. V. NJ. PIERCE.)

Wy LIN. v. NJ. flEHCE.D
The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking a cup of
hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and a little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur if the kidneys did not
work day and night In separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depresslons, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, irritability, headaches, chilliness,
rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or
govt.
Since 1t is such simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.
