The rain yesterday did much for the
crops.
Now is the opportune moment for
the amateur home gardener to work
his crop. Weeds which have sprung
up IN the garden are now tender and
can be easily pulled. If they are
allowed to mature they will become
tough and cause considerable trouble
for the gardener.
To-day is ideal for setting out cab
bage and tomato plants. A little time
spent in the garden today will mean
much to the crop.

To ths Editor OF WOmGH's Page:
Dear Madam am devoted reader of the
EVENING LEDGER and wish you to kindly give
me some information to the following: am
q young girl fourteen years old and have a great
deal OF dandrun. My hair Is short, endy and
plexion, as mine Is yellow and always looks
dtrtyt As we arc very poor. I wish you would
Kindly publish safe and inexpensive remedy
for me. STELLA Is.
Shampoo your hair thoroughly with liquid
green soap, an imported soap which can be
bought at any first-class drug store. Then
apply the following tonic to the scalp once
IA day, massaging we'll: Four ounces of
glycerine, five ounces tincture OF canthar-
ides four ounces of bay rum and two ounces
OF water. Do not imagine frequent sham
pooling will harm the hair on the contrary,
except in rare cases frequent cleanslngs are
necessary TO keep the pores In a healthy
condition. Many persons shampoo the hair
every week; others, once or twice month,
II your complexion is yellow il may be
caused by a disorder of the liver, by in
sufficient exercise and lack of fresh air or
the wrong kind OF food. A girl OF your age
should not eat too many sweets and should
never eat pickles or other things containing
vinegar / should advise you to consult a
physician, as he alone can prescribe for
you. Many girls of your age are slightly
anemic, and in a year or so you should
outgrow this; bat try to take exercise in
the open air regularly every day.

Loneliness is the most deadenlng in.

the most resourceful. A nature open to
every valid interest and sympathy strug.
giles when companionship is denied.
I very thoughtlessly the other day said
that in my opinion It was only rather
coorless. unattractive people who lacked
friends wherever they went. Whereupon,
n woman, whose charm no one could deny
and who came to this city as n total stran.
ger four or five years ago told me that it
was at least three years before she knew
even one person.
She said that she had lived in n sub
urb of Philadelphia for two years, and
during that time, although she saw nu-
merous attractive people at church and
near her home, not one woman had ever
spoken to her, although they must have
known she was n stranger, until the week
she was, preparing to move.

large community when no letters of in

the persons happen to be unusually con-
