Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair. fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance an in.
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of 1t if you will just try little Dan
derine.-Adv.

should stand by and see that no harm
is done to valuable objects or to the
child himself. But If the typical child
be permitted to investigate such OBJ
jects as books and china until he has
discovered how they feel and how they
are constituted, until his touch-hunger
regarding them is gratified, he will be
likely to let them alone thereafter I'M
less he needs to use them in some Of
his games or plays. A wise parent or
teacher would provide books, dishes
and the like which could be used in
play, and which would make it unnec-
essary for the child to experiment with
delicate things of real value.
If parent leaves an unoccupied
child in room which is furnished
with fragile, delicate furniture which
he can reach, and If he is not per-
mitted to gain touch acquaintance
with these things under the guild
ance and supervision of the par
ent, then there is almost certain
to be trouble. The child will handle
the furniture when the parent is not
looking and accidents will happen.
Montessori apparatus, kindergarten
materials or Candoit toys in a house
will keep young child out of mis-
chief" that may result disastrously
to valuable books or china or other
furnishings. Catalogues describing
these various educational playthings
may be obtained upon request from
the manufacturers: MonteSsori; ap-
paratus, House of Childhood, New
York kindergarten materials, Mil
ton Bradley Co., Springfield, Mass;
Candolt toys, The Falls Toy Shop,
Denver, Colo. A sandpile or gymnas-
tic apparatus out of doors will surely
lessen any child's "mischievousness."

PICTURE BOOKS FOR BABY
BY FRANCES JENKINS oLcoTT.

BY FRANCES JENKINS oLcOTT.
BUY only the best picture books for
my babyw a mother exclaims. "Why,
anything will do, If it Is bright-colored
and will not tear"
But will anything do? Baby's brain
is eager and alert. He Is taking in a
stock of ideas to use when he begins
to speak and read. He is initiative,
and is learning to do the things he
sees done in his pictures. He Is de-
veloping his sense of color.
Pictures may be made the beginning
of baby'S education as well as de-
light to him. And what joy he takes
In entering into the life he sees in
each bright-colored print! But he will
not learn from them unless they
please him. He likes best, primary
colors, and large figures of animals
and of children at work or play. His
first books should be untearable, SO
that he will not be able to destroy
them whenever the impulse seizes him.
The term untearable or indestructible,
however. does not guarantee that a
book will not be destroyed by rough
handling.
The picture books listed below are
selected from among the best of their
kind. Unfortunately many desirable
linen books are out of print on ac-
count of the war, while cheaply print
ed, dull-colored ones are taking their
places. The books recommended in
this list are still in print, and all are
ducati0nal-fanciful or humorous
and will delight baby for the first year
of his life and until he Is four years
old and older.
Mother may begin to play with him
at choosing objects in the pictures,
calling off the name of each object as
he points to it. This little game will
please him and will teach him new
words and their meaning.

Two Bits of Sentiment

"If We break faith with us who die
we shall not sleep In Flanders fields"
There is much tender sentiment in
two suggestions going the rounds of
woman's clubs. One is that patch of
red poppies be sown in every garden
next spring in memory of the millions
dead. The other is that the heart
searching appeal, "In Flanders Fields"
and Americas Answer" be printed in
large type. framed and permanently
displayed in every schoolhouse. Moth
Ing could do more to vivify the great
moral and patriotic lesson of the war
for old and young than adoption of
these ideas.-Toledo Blade.

JOINING Yarn.

Much trouble has been caused in
knitting by improperly joining the
yarn. The following is a new and good
way to splice it: Knit to within four
or five inches of the end of the yarn.
Thread the end of the new ball into a
darning needle. With the left hand
hold the end Of the yarn that remains
on the work, and darn the new yarn
into it for three or four inches. Slip
off the darning needle, draw the yarn
back until the end is hidden, and knit
as before, being careful not to pull
the ends apart The joining can hard
ly be found.

T0UCH-HUMGER.
BY PROF. NJ. v. O'SHEA,

Psychologists say that every child
has hunger for experiences which
are necessary for his development. He
is hungry for sounds, sights, tastes,
smells and muscular strains and
stresses. These are all of fundamental
Importance in the building of his mind.
A child would be an idiot who was not
hungry for these sense experiences.
The only way he can learn about OBJ
jects is by investigating them with
every sense that will give him any in
formation regarding them.
Many persons who realize that
child must see, hear, taste and smell
all the objects around him in order
that he may come to understand them
do not appreciate that the hunger to
touch objects is probably more acute
than any other kind of hunger Ere
quently people think q child is mis-
chievous or willful when he handles
things around him when he is told not
to do so. How often one hears parents
and policemen and guards at museums
and all such folks say to children,
bOu you lputH lIdl Yah you
keep your hands off from things? L
told you if you touched any of those
things again l would punish you" and
so. But a child will handle objects,
even in the face of certain punishment,
because his hunger for touch sensa-
lions is so overpowering that he can
not restrain it.
What is to be done about it? In the
first place, the child should have as
great a variety of objects as possible
to touch and use in his play activities.
He should be permitted to explore
everything around him by means of
the sense of touch. If necessary, the
parent or the teacher or the guardian
