WHY
WHY DOES HAIR TURN GREY

upon tho percentage Of various chemical
constituents in our systerns. For example,
person with 4 large amount of iron In
their blood, usually marifeets this by dark
hair and eyes, while there are other char
acterstics Of blondes, brune.tes, and red

students II human nature as a whole.
Az vie grow older, this pigment loses
somo Of It's intensity. Tho highly colored
cheeks Of childhood and youth are replaced
by the sAllow, asben complexion Of aivano-
ing age, and tho hair naturally reflects
this decrease in pigrnentAtion, finally
turning a siivery white. Prolor ped worry,
fright OF the lack Of sufficient light, also
appears TO have marked effect upon
the pigment cells which supply the hair,
for there are we'll authenticated oasss
Of hair turning white within very brief
period Of time. On account a the fact Tint
hnir needs a large supply Of pigment,
brunettes turn Uey much sooner than
blondes, while porsons with eItrennsly
