The Truth About GRAY Hair
By Lima CauaLieri,
The Most Famous Living Beauty

-HERE are many different causes that
produce gray hair. Advancing age
= is the most common one. but hair
also often turns gray prematurely because
Of illness or worry or from living in too
hot or too cold a climate. Whatever the
cause that makes hair turn gray or snowy
white it is a purely natural one. but science
has yet to discover any natural method of
reversing the process and making hair
that has once turned gray resume its origi-
nal color.
You can stop your entire head of hair
from becoming gray after it once started
by removing the cause each time, but the
hairs that have already turned will remain
the same unless you indulge in artificial
methods to restore them.
Gray hair does not always show that a
person is old. And there is really no COOL
reason for the strong objection to it. II
we'll kept, this color adds much to the dig
nifty of the appearance, and is really very
beautiful II cared for and kept in a silvery
white. 1t requires much care, however, to
keep gray hair Of silvery hue.
In order to retain the silvery Wilderness
of gray hair do not wet It except when you
shampoo it. Do not use, moreover, hair
curriers' to crimp gray hair, but more crimp-
ing pins.
After the hair has become gray 1t needs
the same attention as before in the way Of
massage and cleanliness. BY working the
two first fingers on the scalp you warm it,
and so help increase the roundabout flow
Of the scarlet stream, and thus give nour
ishment to the roots of the hair, rendering
them strong and healthy. II, when. you
thus massage the scalp and find that it
needs a bit of grease, you should apply
pure vaseline or olive oil or the yolks Of
eggs beaten up with limewater.
Cleanliness is an absolute essential in
the keeping of gray hair everything that
it should be- Brush it at least once 4

scarlet fluid and to help remove the dand-

War-Winning In the Kitchen

ticle of dry bread can be used in other
forms. Often too much bread is cut for
the table, when by having a small round
bread board on the table and having one
member of the family slice as needed
much can be saved.
Again, in toasting bread why not remove
1.-THE crusts first, as they are so often I'M
eaten, dry them in the oven and later use
as crumbs? Such crumbs can be used In
endless ways-in breading meats, in max
ing scalloped dishes, in buildings and in
cake.
Who will volunteer to try bread pam
cakes on a cold morning? These can be
made out of a simple batter and uneven
shaped pieces of leftover bread.
II a whole or half loaf has become very
dry 1t can be cut into thick sections made
quite brown in the oven, and each section
scooped out and used as patty" or case
for any cream dish or watery vegetable.
Fat is an important "by-product" in
home food management. What does the
housewife do with her drippings? What
does she do with the trimmings" of fat
on the steak or the web-like fat crust that
comes with leg of mutton? What does
she do with her bacon rind? Is she thrifty
or does she waste?
Any one noticing the tremendous jump
in price of lard. cottonseed oil and all sim.
liar cooking products will see that utiliz-
ing the "by-products' of all fats is most
necessary in any thrift campaign. The
housewife of to-day will have to relearn
the old arts her grandmother knew of
rendering" and "tryingout" meat fats, so
that they can be utilized in other fats or
shortening.
Cut any fat into small dice, cover with
cold water and let stand over night In
the morning pour off this water and add
fresh water or milk in the proportion Of
one cup to two pounds of fat. Let cook
very slowly until the pieces are light
brown in color and their is no more sound
of bubbling. Strain through a cloth into
earthen ware or glass jars. 1t is some
times well to do this in the oven instead
of on the top Of the stove, as there is less
spatter and odor. Keep different kinds of
fats separate. Even mutton can be utilized
if combined with a much larger proportion
of beef.
Bacon and ham are almost a luxury and
unless their fat is utilized they represent
The Washington times., 1918-09-15

too high cost per pound. Shall we throw
a piece of bacon rind away after cutting
on the slices? No, because it contains
both fat and flavor. 1t can be used over
and over to grease a griddle or pan, or as
Eavoring in boiling beans or other dish.
Even the very coarse skin of ham can
be boiled more than once with greens,
beans, or particularly in such soups as pea
and bean. The flavor is so strong that the
rind can be used two or even three times
In some boiling dish.
The bone can also be used for lavoring
and the remnants of meat run through
chopper, seasoned with little salt, pepper
and mustard. and served as a good, home
made "pOtted ham" for sandwiches.
"Oh the milk's sour, we can't use it,
is a frequent remark, and it's too often
followed by dumping the sour milk into
the garbage pail. What a grievous waste

That cup or pint or quart of sour milk
will make more delicious cake, cookies or
ginger bread than any sweet milk owing

-HE housewife holds the key to food
control. No matter how large the
L crop or how excellent the distribu-
ton, she in the end determines by her
manner of using food how much of the
products raised shall be saved.
The most common foods are the most
easily wasted-meat, flour and fat. Here,
for instance. is a housekeeper who fire.
quently buys a porterhouse steak. The
upper portion is tender and juicy, but the
lower tail" is tough. How many hundreds
of thousands of housekeepers in the past
few years have utilized this tail to the best
advantage? Some have cooked it with the
other portion, but as it was not choice it
most frequently remained uneaten even
when served. Others. alas! have chopped
off the tail and cheerfuIly put it into the
garbage pail!
Now the thrifty way is to cut off the
tail and have it run with a small amount
of the fat through the meat chopper. This
will often make as much as three-quarters
of a pound of chop meat, which can be
USED IN meat DdllS, CTOQueIJeS, HASH UT
various kinds of loaf" With the addition
of bread crumbs and perhaps half pound
of additional chop meat the despised ''tail'
becomes a second nourishing meal.
Again, bones and what appear to be
scraps" of meat from the Sunday roast
are heedlessly thrown away. But careful
picking and removing gristle will often
result in perhaps a pound of meat which.
when run through the ever economical
meat chopper, can be served in croquettes,
goulash, shepherds pie or some other ap-
petizing dish.
All bones should find their way into the
soup pot. In cool weather especially the
American housewife should emulate the
famous stock pot" of her French sister,
and keep on the back of her stove a per
ennial pot into which can be placed every
atom of bone, gristle and meat gravy,
which, with little expense of fuel, can be
reduced to strong stock or sOup-the basis
of hundreds of dishes.
Wheat flour is the most precious product
that the fighting forces have For bread
to them is not only the staff of life, but the
staff of war and death. Flour must be
saved. And how easy it is to do this with
only little more care, a little more plan
ming.
In the first place, too much bread SHOULD
never be bought or baked. 1t should be
kept cool and wrapped; then every par

run See to it that the bristles of the
brush be stiff enough to penetrate to t.
scalp, but not stiff enough to scratch.
The brush must be scrupulously clean
when applied to the hair, and the conf
also, in order that your labor may not lie
in vain. If this Is not so, the hair ma '
easily become reinfiected by the dandruT
which lodges in either of these. The
comb, moreover must not only be cleaned
frequently, but must have rounded and
widely separated teeth
After you have brushed your hair for
the night, comb it back and plait 1t in a
single, loose braid. In the morning when
you dress it try not to drag and twist
the hair from its natural directions and
do not make it very tight
Use shell hairpins in preference to steel
ones, for these are less apt to scratch the
scalp or break the hairs, and, moreover,
they are cleaner.
If the hair is normal in every way. it
is not necessary to wash it more than
about once in three weeks II you nut
bOrax in the water, even in small guam
titles, 1t will cleanse the scalp, but il
you continue the practice you are apt to
injure the hair and scalp by too frequent
applications Of the alkali, which thus
might act as a caustic. A very good hair
wash may be prepared thus:
Mix two ounces of the official green
soap and one ounce of alcohol to make a
shampoo. One ounce of the mixture should
be used with twice as much water. Now
apply to the scalp with the fingers When
you have finished the dry shampoo, add
sufficient water to make a good latLer
Rub this vigorously into the scalp
After you have cleansed the scalp thor
oughly rinse out the hair carefully, even
though this may require frequent changes
of water 1t is most important that no
soap remain in the scalp to dry I'D and
form dirt there When the wash has been
completed dry the hair with hot towels
and Complete the process by the sun,
radiator or stove.
