therefore, see to It that only the merest
tips are removed with the scissors-the
part that has already split In two or shows
q tendency to split.
Your hair Is very likely not even in
length all around your head. In order to
cut the tips OF all around, comb out your
hair smoothly and evenly and proceed
with the scissors.
II your hair is very zigzag do not try to
make II even at one cutting. for that would
perhaps involve a sacrifice. II you con-

IL apt to become even in time without cut
ting away too much.
To trim your hair every few months is
Q splendid thing as far as It goes. But It
Is also necessary to keep II scrupulously
3lean. Wash your hair at least once q
month whether you think 1t needs 1t or not.
In order to be sure that the dandruff on
your scalp is adequately removed, massage
the roots of your hair the night before
washing with pure vaseline or castor oil
or cocoanut oil This viii soften the dead
cells or dandruff, and the water and soap
will do the rest Of the work.
Place in your wash basin q BIT Of wash
ing soda-tust mere particle-to soften
the water. In addition to this use CASTLE
soap with which to make lather. Wash
the hair thoroughly, using only the cush-
ions Of your fingers, and If more soap is
needed rub It on your hands first and not
on your hair. Your first water must be
more than Just lukewarm in order to act
as a cleanser. Your rinsing water may be
of a lower temperature, cold, il you like,
for the Summer hair wash.
Wrap your hair in a Turkish towel and
place it in knot on your head. In about
a half-hour's time remove the towel and
take a chair into the sunny part Of your
back yard, and throw your hair strands to
the sun and wind. Let your hair hang
like a curtain over you, front and back, so
as to prevent sunburn and to give your
scalp all possible benefit of the air and
sun. The elements act like a tonic for
the hair and scalp; the wind tends to the
removal of moisture and perspiration; the
sun makes the hair fluffy and wiry enough
for you to be able to "do what you want"
with 1t.
A thorough hair wash about once a
month is not sufficient to keep the scarlet
stream moving rapidly in the scalp. dry
massage with the fingers every night is
also necessary.
When massaging at night use only the
cushions Of your fingers. Two fingers at
a time can do the work well. As the

utensils.
Aside from its great saving in material
and fud, the freless cooker offers the
housewife the equally great saving in time.
Once her dinner is put in the fireless there
Is no standing about hot stove watching
and stirring this and that.
The freless seems to cook foods more
thoroughly than any other method. Ger
eals which often. taste raw with direct
cooking become 1avorful and creamy

fruits are particularly favorful in the fire.
less, and a good plan is to put into the
fireless at night both cereal and fruit or
soup, beans or other slow cooking dish.
Lunch dishes may be put in 1t at breakfast
time and dinner dishes at noon. In this
way the housewife can approach something
like an eight-hour housework day
The fireless cooker is the housewives
chief ally In food conservation. By its
magic dehydrated products, inexpensive
cereals, like cornmeal, hominy, ETC., and
the humble bean become tasteful, we'll
cooked and appetizing. The low-price meat
cut becomes tender, and vegetables are
cooked without waste. Let the fireless
save you food and money!

and other cuts which have as much nutri-
ment and flavor, but whose hbres are
tough. The fireless cooker heat breaks
down the tough muscles and conserves
every bit of the. flavor and juice.
The chief point to be considered in buy.
ing a fireless cooker is the quality of the
interlining This should be honest and OF
good packing and with the lining prefer
ably of aluminium, instead Of nickeloid or
some inferior substance. Cheap lining
will not retain the heat so we'll and will
rust sooner. A steel box is preferable to
wood The utensils should be of aluminium
because they retain heat longer.
Even a one-compartment cooker will
give great service, since two or more foods
can be cooked in 1t at time. A two-hole
is suitable for any average family II pos
sible. the cooker should be placed on a
low stand so as to be at about the height
of the stove, to avoid STOPPING. It must
be kept clean and we'll aired and with
care will last ten or more years.
A fireless cooker may be made at home,
and while It will not last so long as the
kinds you can get at the store. It will give
good service. To make 1t any we'll made
box of the window seat shape mounted on
rollers may be used. II can be packed
with clean sawdust or excelsior. Then a
fitted pad is made to keep in this packing.

age Of it is lost in evaporation and In
shrinkage. Also, in order to cook many
cereals and vegetables by the direct heat
method on top of the stove we must use
great quantity of water. This is wasteful
of the true nutriment of the vegetable or
other food and likewise destroys the flavor.
Now, with the freless there is far lower
per cent of shrinkage because there is no
evaporation. The writer has often meas
ured full cup of juice from leg Of NUT
ton cooked in the ireless. In fact, foods
cooked in this way seem rather to increase
in bulk than to shrink.
Food is wasted in many homes through
scorching and sticking to the pan. Cereals
and puddings especially are so likely to
stick that the food loss is considerable.
But cooking the freless way never
scorches a food or causes waste Of burned
material. Oatmeal, rice, beans and meats
which are likely to scorch in the usual
cooking methods never do so in the slow
conserved heat of the fireiess.

less pot and left for three or four hours
with the assurance that when they are
taken out they will be tender. OF course,
foods must stay in the freless sufficiently
long, but no matter how long the cooking
takes there is no extra cost of fuel
In the making of soups where long, slow
cooking is necessary to extract the. es-
sences and juices, the freless Is I'M
equaled. In the preparation OF beans,
dried peas and in many of the dehydrated
products which so many housekeepers
have prepared this Summer. the ireless
proves of greatest value.
But the freless permits other processes
than boiling or stewing. And for this are
used the so-called radiators Of soap
stone. These thick circular disks are used
when browning is required or when the
food is to be baked. These stones are
heated on the range for twenty minutes.
They are then placed under or over the
dish of food in the cooker we'll It is by
the use of these stones that the 1reless
cooks so thoroughly the pieces of meat
like the flank, corned beef, neck. shoulder

the scalp is moved about and rotated, so
that the desired rapid flow Of the blood
stream is secured. and this brings with it
the needed food for the hair roots.
Besides a dry massage, 1t is well to pre-
pare regular shampoo for the hair every
week or two. This may consist Of green
soap and alcohol, in the proportion OF two
ounces OF the soap to one ounce Of the
alcohol Mix this well and add one ounce
OF the preparation to two ounces Of water
Mix again and apply with the finger tips.
You win find this preparation Of special
value IL your hair has begun to fall either
because Of previous carelessness or for
some other reason In that event, Il is
well to wash the hair more frequently In
addition to this shampoo, and to soak the
scalp each time with some oil in order to
soften the dirt In 1t. A little borax or am
monia is good cleanser and should be ap-
piled TO the scalp In the washing water
every now and then.
When the falling Of the hair has COM
menced to subside you may resume normal
cleansing; that II, you may reduce the
number Of times for washing. Massage Of
your SCALP however every night and every
morning. too, II you have time, should

Massage, either dry or applied with a
bit OF vaseline or cocoanut oil, once in a
while is good way to prevent dryness of
the scalp. Some individuals, however, suf.

an oily one. In this event. they sometimes
also have thin hair, so that putting it up
becomes quite a problem and feminine

Use a brush on your hair once a day to
remove fine particles of dirt and to make
your hair smooth and shiny. Try to let
the bristles penetrate to the scalp. Wash
your brush and comb as often as you can.
