Care of the Hair.

Women who have not the time or
money to take scalp treatments can
do about as much for themselves as
a specialist can do for them in the
treatment Of ordinary hair troubles.
Ten minutes attention given to the
hair and scalp each day is more bene-
fetal than infrequent professional
treatments The remedies f1r the
usual scalp and hair difficulties are
simple and Inexpensive. 1t is regu-
lar and persistent care that can be
depended on to repay the effort.
Cleanliness requires a shampoo at
intervals of two to four weeks. If the
scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient
ly abundant this, with a brisk, brief
brushing every day will keep the hair
in good condition.
To Cure Dandruff.
Take a thimbleful of powdered re-
fined boraX, let it dissolve in teacup-
full of water; first brush the head well,
and then wet a brush with the solution
and rub the scalp well with it. Do
this every day for a week. then twice
a week until no trace of dandruff is
found.
To Improve Hair
The best shampoo for oily hair and
dry scalp is an egg shampoo made by
adding one ounce Of cold water to one
well-beaten egg; rub mixture well into
the scalp and on the hair, rinse in
warm water then in cold water dry
thoroughly, apply tonic and massage
the scalp for ten minutes. Each night
use a tonic and massage for ten min

1913 Crop Prices Highest.

Slightly below average in produc-
ton of all crops per acre, nevertheless
the year 1918 was high in crop pro-
duction in the mass. Beginning with
1910, the bureau of crop estimates,
United States department of agricul-
ture, has computed crop index num-
bers for each year, 100 being the aver
age, and interesting comparisons are
easily made. OF the nine years, 1915
was the most productive one in yield
per acre, with an index number of
10; the year 1912 was next below
with 100, 1914 and 1917 each had 1O4.
On the other hand, the notably poor
year 1911 stood at go, 1913 was at 95,
1916 at 96, and 1918 at SO.
In mass of crop production, however,
1918 is represented by the index num-
Der LOT, on account of high acreage !;
the high index number 116 represents
1915, ITO represents 1912, and 108 rep
resents 1917. The year 1916, low in
yield per acre, had mass production
representa- by the average 100. No
year since 1913 has been below aver
age in mass production.
Before the war, low crop-production
years usually had index numbers for
crop prices above the average, and
high-production years had ones below.
Every year of the war has sent the
rocket of prices higher and higher. In
1914, the first year of the war, the
index of crop prices was SO, which was
below average on account of cotton
and paralysis of shipping and credit
In 1915 it had risen to 102, after which
year the movement jumped to 155 in
1916, to 213 in 1917, and to 224 in
1918. AS far as is known. this is the
highest point ever reached or indicated
by a composite crop price

breakers or was thrown overheard by
his mother. Mrs. Esther Blake. who
was pronounced insane today by two
medical experts, may remain a mys-

that her first story of the kidnap-
ping of the boy by two negroes may
have been a delusicn.
She said she remembered Buddy
tearing himself away from her as
they were walking along the board
walk and disappearing In the dark
ness and fog. She called for him.
she said. fearing he might run down
the pier and fall overheard, but
there came no answer: all she could
hear was the sound Of fog bells and
the shrieking OF sirens out beyond
the breakers. Then she became un-
conscious, she said, and when she
came to sometime afterward. some
thing seemed to snap in her brain
and she became obsessed with the
idea or delusion that she had been
held up by two negroes who had
run of with Buddy"
The physicians declared Mrs.
Blake to be suffering from recur-
rent or periodical delusionary in
sanity. Today, while she was tell
ing the story of the boys disap-
pearance, her mind seemed to be per-
fectly clear and alert and there was
no sign of arrangement. DR..
Souder. however. believes her to be
an incurable paranoiac. The ply
sicians announced that in going
over Mrs. BlaTe's past history they
had discovered that she had been
sufferer from decisions for sew
eral years.
None of the woman's stories, they
say, can be accepted without cor
roboration and this is manifestly
impossible, there being no eye wit
nesses of the tragedy. so far as
known: therefore. the mystery may
never be solved and Mrs. Blake may
never be brought to trial for the
