BADNESS DUE 70 PET DOGS
Doctor Holds CANNES Responsible for
Epidemic Which Has Appeared
Among Women In London.

From London comes a warning to
women who have pet dogs. Since the
start Of the war many English women
have found that they we're losing their
hair. A West End hairdresser, observ.
ing that he had had more cases of fall
ing hair in the last year than ever be-
fore, regarded worry and grief as the
cause, but physician advances an
other theory:
"This explanation is partly correct"
says this physician. "The depressing
effect ON vitality of fear, anxiety and
sorrow reacts With serious conse-
quences ON the hair. But in my opin-
ion the epidemic. II there is an epi-
demic, 10 to be traced mainly to infec-
ton from dogs.
every ha4r expert knows that in
nine out OF ten cases the premature
loss of hair is due to dandruff. That
condition often results from the pres
ence of microbes whose great source In

or shampoo preparations is of pracd-
cally no use, but simple antiseptics,

commander becomes a captain he

the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this.

which any member of the ships com
