HEALTH AND BEATTY.

Your hair is discouraging after the summer when dust and the sun have made it dry and lifeless. Perhaps some thing different has happened, and per spiration and heat have overstimulated the oil glands In one case you will need a rich fat, oily tonic, in the other light stimulating, cleansing tonic. You can help the thin dry hair back in to beauty if you brush it a good deal.
 There is only one way to keep the figure youthful and that is to keep it active. You will notice, if you study your young friends, that their figures seem to have great deal of resiliency. The lines are all lines of action There is a certain swing and sway to their bdoies which you will not see in an old woman One series of motions seems to melt into the next There is not the jerkiness nor awkwardness that comes when the figure has settled down.
 Shampoo at least every week. or twice or three times a week if necessary to keep the scalp free from dandruff. Be careful to rinse the hair and scalp repeatedly with tepid water to remove all soap Be sure to clean hair brushes and combs as often as you shampoo i head and let the brush stand as much as DO ;sible in sunlight. Also expose head to sunlight whenever possible to stimulate hair growth and discourage the germs which cause dandruff and falling hair,

 If the facts are not misrepresented the Polish forces it would appear, have been sent forward instead of being kept the prescribed distance from a tempor- ary line fixed by the leagues commis- sion. Thus the league doesn't appear to have restrained the Poles from pressing on into Lithuania any more than il. pre- vented or checked the war between the Poles and the bolsheyiki The test thus far proves ineffective, where there was reason to believe that it would be work irg under favorable conditions

SMART NEW USE OF PATCHWORK

Patchwork is revival of an old art. Just as the bright-colered, stiff designs ot the early samplers have evolved into the soft-toned and graceful designs of the cross-stitch of today, so the patch work quilt of four generations back has 9lossomed into the decorative trimmings of children's dresses, with animals and nursery touches that appeal to every child Transfer patterns for the various bright-colored motifs are easily stamped D nthe material by a hot iron and then appliqued to the dress with a buttonhole Eticth. The pattern gives the complete design to stamp on the article as a guide, as we'll as the separate motifs which are to be cut of different colored
 materials Solid gingham of different shades, makes the appliques. In cutting them out enough material should be al- lowed to turn in and baste down the pattern before buttonholing it. The but tonhole stitch is done with a six strand 'kein thread. alarming stitch is used in veining the leaves and an outline stitch for the stems. This patchwork is also attractively used on young girls suIner gowns and sashes, and has made its way into home decorations for hang 'ngs and bedroom accessories
