ARRANGEMENT OF THE HAIR
Various Ideas Which viii Commend
Themselves to the Woman Who
Dresses With Taste.

Every woman should study her face.
forehead, ears, the set of her head on
her shoulders. Then she should dress
her hair to hide any unattractive an
giles or features and to accentuate the
well-fOrmed and attractive features
To some the hair is more becoming
if the greater part of the forehead
shows. To others the hair drawn down
so as to cut" the forehead proves
more becoming.
If the ears are rot beautifully
shaped the hair should be brought
over them by all means If covering
the entire ear forms an angle that is
not becoming to the face, the lobe of
the ear should be allowed to show.
The eyes are particularly affected
by the manner of combing the hair
Some eyes. especially the almond
shaped, are most beautiful when the
hair comes over the forehead, almost
touching the eyebrows. Other eyes
appear larger and give forth more
brilliancy il the hair is drawn well
away. Parting the hair in the center
or on the side also has great influence
on the eyes.
And the nose! That is placed it,
such variety Of positions and is it
self of so many shapes and sizes that
there seems no set rule to go by. The
principal thing to avoid is accentuat
ing the length of large nose and the
smallness of a small nose. Also to
remember that the profile should be
one of woman's greatest attractions
If the hair on the back Of the head is
dressed out from the head too far and
too low the profile of a large nosed
person is entirely spoiled; and the
head looks disfigured.
A well-shaped head makes the art of
hair dressing much less difficult than
it is for the person with a poorly
shaped head. But the right puffs.
braids, knots and swirls of hair will
make any woman's head appear to be
of classic shape.

WHEAT is BEST FOR POULTRY

Contains Much Protein.

Wheat is one of the best grain feeds
for poultry all the year around. and
especially during the laying season.
It contains more protein than corn,
and is. therefore, a greater aid in
flesh and egg production.
It is the protein in the bran mash
that makes it so valuable. and if
wheat cannot be had reasonably, the
bran mash should be a part of the
daily feed for laying hens
