A Beauty Chat for Men.

A man wrote me Iette- ene other
day and suggested that a few talks
on improving health and personal ap-
pearance might be written for men as
well as women. 1--WE seen lots of
things that 1 could use," he wrote.
"Every time my wife finds sugges-
tion that she thinks I need she al
ways reads it to me-
So this chat today is written par
ticularly for masculine readers. Now
a common masculine aff1iction is

But it takes more years than you

until the bald part of the scalp Is as
hard and smooth as piece OF pol
ished glass that one should give up
hope Of growing new hair.
A friend of mine came to me last
summer for the pilocarpine halr

her husband use it. He was fairly
young man and was rapidly getting
bald, and because of this he looked

best formula. II the hair is Kept

Nobody ever asks whether 1t is hy-

whether any risk to health is in
volved in going without ones red
flannel chest protector, or changing
from boots to shoes, or from high to
low. or from linen to wool or silk to
cotton without regard for the cal
endar or the weather.
A great deal Of harm, much un-
necessary Ill health and sickness. Is
caused by wearing more clothing than
comfort demands. but no harm at all
is done by changing from heavy to
light or from more TO less clothing at
any time, in any weather, for one
hour or many. 1t is all a question of
individual comfort. Anyhow. the less
one wears in the way of clothing at
any time sor under any circumstances
certainly the more hygienic. A little
more covering of the body than is
needed to assure reasonable comfort
is weakening. 1t lowers ones natural

more nearly naked we can be at all
times, the better for our health. More
men than women have pneumonia
which fact Is not consistent with the
notion that exposure is a contribut-

women would far outnumber the men

men do not.
view, assuming an unprejudiced mind
and familiarity with the actual and
experimental evidence bearing on the
question, it is impossible to imagine
that too little clothing all the time or
at any particular time has any in
furious effect on human health. True.
exposure to cold causes one serious
result but only one, namely, FROST
bite in one form or another. Every
bit Of admissible evidence that has
been deduced only adds further weight
to this conviction.

more at all practically. Perhaps a
few middle-aged or elderly persons
may emulate the youngsters in this.
Silk is even better. nygienically. than
wool for underwear and stockings.
OF course, the stockings and under
wear should be of the same texture
