WHY CANARiEs ARE YELLOW.
'Tweet, tweet, tweet," sang all the
birds outside of Queen Mab's window.
For 1t was the first day of June and
all had gathered to do homage to the
queen of the fairies.

queen, as she stepped out OF tall
lily. Father is sick and ] fear very

plumes shone into gold at their tips.
This bird, called the eyre, expected
TO be appointed as page to the queen
on account of his beauty.
Now this eyre was very vain and
wanted to win Mab's favor, so he said
he would go for the yellow water. So
he set out very bravely and flew
long way, but when 1t grew dark
and cold he rested. Then beside him
he saw the little black bird.

There are about 175 900 hairs in your

Each one is an independent oil plant
and like any other plant must have con-,

If neglected, it gets sick and dies. i
Dandruf is the greatest enemy of the
hair.
1t seals up the hair-cells, smothers out
the roots and causes the hair to fall
The head should be kept free from
dandruff.
The hair-cells should be kept open

Not by washing with toilet soaps nor
alkah shampoos that will attack the

fatty roots.
An oil shampoo with no free alkali
should be used.

II seems clear tonight that the If
