A Henna Shampoo.

The fancy packets of henna sham
poo powder which are for sale in most
shops can be made at home at much
less expense and with no trouble at
all. OF course, the little packets are
not very costly, but again it is a ques-
tion of knowing exactly what you are
using. A splendid henna shampoo
powder is made as follows:
Purchase one ounce Of powdered
Egyptian henna and three ounces Of
powdered CASTLE soap and mix them
together. II you like perfume q lit
tie sachet powder can be added. or a
few drops Of perfumed oil. However.
/ always feel that the most delicate
feet hygienic cleanliness.
This mixture is enough for any
number of shampoos. You use as
much for each shampoo as q large
tablespoon will hold. This amount Is
added to q pint of hot water and
solved. Then wet the hair and the
head with the hot water and rub the
scalp thoroughly until you have
worked up q big lather. Continue
to work this lather over the scalp and
through the hair for about ten min
utes, then rinse thoroughly with hot
water.
Rinse again with hot water, then
cooler then still cooler and end by
pouring cold water through the hair.
The most necessary thing to remem-
ber in shampooing is to rinse the hair
sufficiently. Few people do this. and
the result is that some Of the old dirt
and oil sticks to the hair and it comes
out dull and without any life or luster.

The measure of a woman's strength
is her ability to make powerful con-
traction of a muscle: OF her endur.
ance. her ability to continue this con-
traction, perhaps for q much lower
degree. but for a long time. The
strength of a muscle contraction de-
pends partly on the number Of strands
in the muscle itself, chiefly on the
strength of the nervous impulse. En-
durance depends on the condition OF
the muscle fberS. the elimination of
the waste products of exercise and
the constancy of the nervous impulse.
Endurance finally depends then on the
rapid elimination OF waste and on the
strength of the nervous center that
controls the muscles
Nowadays We do not need much
muscular strength, but we do need
endurance. all of US. and especially
mothers. How are we to get it? Why
can q boy spend three times as much
energy in play without being tired
than he could in work? Because an
activity that Keeps the brain aroused
and interested apparently generates
nervous energy continuously, whereas
drudgery which does not rouse the
brain checks the nervous energy and
consequently exhausts the muscle.
Games, being interesting, give moro
endurance than gymnastics. Nervous
ness. which is sort OF leakage or
irregular discharge Of nervous en-
ergy. tends to destroy endurance. The
conclusion is obvious that women and
girls need to play at games they en-
need endurance. The gap between
this need of theirs and what they get
is appalling to contemplate.

Remember, I've nothing against

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
The Soda Habit.
What is the effect upon the blood
and upon the system of taking fre-
Quently q small portion of baking
soda in water? (B. L.
Answer-It tends to increase the al
kalinity Of the blood and to oppose
acidity or acidosis in the system. II
there is acidity. So far as I know,
1t does no harm.
Adenofds and Face DeveloDment.
I am wondering whether adenoids
have any influence on the shape Of
the nose or the shape Of the face. II
SO, would removal of the adenoids
straighten the bone In the nose?

Answer-Any prolonger obstruction

the nose, the hard palate, SAe Jaws
and the whole face. Belated removal
of the obstruction may improve mat

McCarty's long years of training
on the force had enabled him, as a
matter of habit. to put aside what

mechanically compose himself for

an, exception and he lay wide-eyed
until dawn. AS he tossed and turned
and thumped his pillow in exaspera-
tion he seemed to be wrestling with
some almost personal problem which
confronted him, and no small phase
of it was his promise to Hill to help
clear his wife Of the charge against
her.

you! We get no credit at all for find

"And since when are you looking
for gratitude from the press, or even

There's tremendous vogue Just
now for the use of psycho-analysis in
solving human problems. but it's a
dangerous business. In the first place.
it's dangerous for most folks to try
to analyxe human nature along
psychological lines because they lack
the elements which would make such
analysis true and effective. They lack
impersonality. Most people view all
experience. their own likes or dis
likes. They simply can't forget them
selves and they color all their find-
ings by their own prejudices. They
