 A most beneficial thing for the hair is an egg shampoo, as it not only cleans but acts as a tonic. The egg should be rubbed into the scalp thor ougaly. After this, rinse the hair sey- eraI times, making the water gradually colder. Dry the hair with warm tow els.
 When washing brushes and combs add a little ammonia to the water and dry ia the sun. The brush should be dried with the bristles down so that the water will drain off. The brushes should be sterilized frequently with a solution of f9rmalin, one teaspoon to the pint of water This seaatleN will not damage the brush or comb.
 There is nothing more beautiful than al-white hair. At the same time there is nothing uglier than white hair streaked with yellow. If you wish the beautiful silvery tinge, put very little blueing in the last rinse water follow ing a shampoo Ordinary household blueing can be used and will not hurt the hair. After the shampoo a gentle massage with the finger tips will im prove the health of the hair and will make it slightly glossy.

cHINA,s Feop sHoRpAGE.

The old saying to the effect that trou- pies never come singly seems to be borne out by the number of appeals which are being made in behalf of aid for those who are suffering in other countries.
 Even while the campaign is still under way to secure the millions needed. &C., cording to Herbert Hoover, to give the necessary amount of relief to the chill dren who are suffering from the lack of food and shelter in central ard east erp Europe, President Wilson Fnts fortn an appeal for those in China who are tire ltenei with death by starvation. Did the conditions that exist in China prevail in this or many other coun- tries they would be taken care of with cut seeking aid from the outside world. China is country of much territory and Dlany people. It is but a small part of that republic that is now .ex- perieneing shortage of food. Other sections are we'll provided for. They have enough to take care of themselves and tie stricken district as well but due 10 ta9 bachwardpess of that country there are not ths mcaas of transperta ton by which to make the transfer of the needed food supplies. China is big but it is undeyeloped and when one section goes hungry 1t is about as help- less as if it was the whole country. I. i is case therefore of helping with food shipments or aiding in the proyis- l ion of adequate transportation facilities for getting food from section in China where pleasy prevails to the one where ] starvation is facea.
 It ioesn't make much difference where humaaitys cry fer help comes fsoua this | country isn't inclined to disregard it This IS one of the ,feT instances of late where the reason for the appeal cannot
 be directly traced to war and it's ef. fleets. The fact that there are 2o,90e,. oeo people st1rving and Dsore than twics

FARM MAcHNEnY.

In the past few years there has been growing recognition among the farm CTS that the shortage of farsn labor must be balanced by the investment in and utilization of machinery. JConse- auently there has been much buying of improved farm implements and costly labor saving devices and in view of the fact that more or less of them are to be found -oR every farm most every farmer can aPpEeciate the importance of the advice which the department of agrieul- ture is giving te the effect that the proper amount of protection and care should be given to this machinery.
 It isn't necessary to go far sinto the country in any direction to see all kinds of farm machinery parked out in the open apparently for the winter This practice is as old as the. hills. Horse rakes find shelter in an orchard, nov ing machines are left where the last of the grass was cut, harreHs remain right where the horses were unhitched and other apparatus used on the farm seem to get the same lack of attention. And yet there is wonder why such large outlays for new parts, new ma- chimes and repairs have to be made each year and why it is necessary to renew so often.
 If the same care was given to the farming machines that there is to ma chinery in other industries they weuldn't t be allowed to remain exposed to the ele- mepts to rust away, but would be creased up for the winter and kept where it would be dry and therefore be in the best possible condition for use when the proper time comes. Fhe yea ther is no respeeter of such machinery. It doesn't treat inc farmer any worse than the road builder or other outdoor workers, but for the protection of the investment, for the upkeep of the equip ment and in behalf of efficiency the wis dom of paying attention to such details cannot be controyerted. Teh part which the farm machinery plants is not over looked but too often there is a disregard for the need of keeping it in condition whereby it will bring the most satisfac- tory results and be ready for efficient service when desired

WHAT WILL RESULT.

What is going to be the result over ip Armenia? President Wilson has just made his report as to what the boundaries of the Armenian republic should be. That is the territory which the league of nations would be expected 10 preserve for that country as the re- suit of the breaking up of the Turkish empire.
 President Wilson has also agreed to Lsme a representative, to serve in all reliability with two others, for the ad- justment of the difficulties between the Armenians and the Turkish nationalists in keeping with the suggestion and re- queA of the league of nation assembly
 In the meantime before it has been possible to make the boundaries known to the Armenians or the Turks, the for mer have been so hard pressed by the latter that they have been obliged to ar- range a special peace of their own which means the loss of large part oi what was reeogniEAe ss Armenian terri. tery and forces them to give up al. 1T arms and ammunition except an insigni. dca1t amount. At the same time, if not before, the Armenians have been forced to yield to the bolshevik forces to sucf an extent that soviet government has been established.
 It is only natural therefore to won der what is going to become of Arme. mia under the present state of affairs While the allies and the league of na. tions have been davdling Armenia ha. been caught between the upper and neither millstone and forced to do jus what has been demanded of it. c
 It is not to believed that Armenia hal submitted to the peace with the Turk hh nationalists because it trusts thos. people or looks with favor upon such ar arrangement. Neither is it to be be heved that it has submitted to the bol sheviki voluntarily. In both instance, there are reasons to believe that it i the result of conditions. Being caugh where it could do nothing else it wa obliged to yield, and now having yieldes the task before the league and it's me diators becomes all the greater It vii bs only natural if they insist that ther, V nothing to mediate.

KEEPING OUT THE UNFIT.

From the manner in which the lower house of congress is getting down tc business in dealing with the irnmigra- ton and the attitude it is showing rela- tive to the Johnson bill for the check ing of all immigration fer a dednite period, it Is evident that there Is a rec ignition of the demand which exists for the blocking of the great hordes that are eager to get to this country, in spite of restrictions which were expect d to be established at home and the going into effect Of prohibition in this 'ountry. Likewise Is it appreciated that there is need of blocking the scheme to neod this country with radi- oal leaders for such trouble as they can create
 The Johnson bill originally called for restriction for a period of two years. It hss been modified so that it will hold up immigration for only a year during which cetrain readjustments can take place and better view of the outlook obtained.
 That there Is recognized the need of giving the United States just such pro- iection as the situation demands at this tine cannot be questioned The immi- yration problem is one which cannot be neglected.

CRIME IN MOVIES.

That the movie censors are subject cd to all kinds of appeals can be appre- eiated. There are those who stand for the very strict and there are those who advocate the liberal view, and it re- mains for the censors to be guided by common sense and experience in mak- lag their decisions.
 In this connection it is interesting to bote that the state board in Pennsylva- nia has been turning over the question W just how much license should be given to those films which depict crime, even though the criminal is caught and punished. Those who favor such films lay much stress on the fact that pun iShment is dealt put and therefore that It ought to teach it's own lesson. But Is perfectly evident that the studied sdorts in connection with the commits 'ien of crime are carefully set forth, and that such cannot fail to. appeal to those whose cravings run or may be easily turned in that direction. To those who may need but just that suggestion to become convinced that they could do what the criminal did and manage to escape it cannot fail te be regarded as sfNfAhb Ailo AEOnS eAecL, and 10 others there is the foundation for working out e scheme which might be sufficiently different to warrant them in believing that they could engage in crime and succeed
 For that reason the board has decided en prevent the showing of pictures where criminals are depicted as "he- roes who live in luxury and persistently defy and outwit the authorities by their superior wit, resources or andacity,' and there cannot fail to be realized that fl is a move that is warranted, and one that should eliminate a bad feature oi the moving picture shows
 The idea of making a hero of a crinn. inal isn't likely to have a salutary ef. Feet upon the minds of those who car es swayed to the bad as easilx<as they an to the good. If they are not strone snough to resist it the fault may moi rest with the individual but there i: certainly reason in eliminating the dan. gsr of such harmful effects

 When ironing waists, shirts, etc, turn sleeves wrong side out and leave till body of article is completed, then turn back and iron. This method makes ironing of shoulders and sleeves much easier,
 Thin dresses or waists that are bad ly mussed, but not seiled, may be freShened by pressing on board GOV cred with a damp cloth. which may or may not have been dipped in cold starch, depending pn the amount all ready in the garment. When no starch is required a damp paper lnet news paper for light celored goods) may be used instead of cloth if desired, Be sure that there are no breaks in sheets, tablecloths or other pieces that you send out of your house to be washed. These pieces are put through a mangle at the large laundries, any any break in the goods is apt to de- velop into a long rent or tear when the mangle is through with it, though the whole sheet or tablecloth may be put through without any damage what ever. So go over the things carefully before sending them out and mend any tears or breaks. Usually this can be done on bed linen by means of the | sewing machine and takes very little time.
