 Unkn own Friend:-The reason why your hair has never been as abundant since you had typhoid fever as it was previous to the attack, shows that the scalp has always been in need of some special care. It is this cundi- tion which is now causing the hair to turn even though you are only Is years of age.
 You can overcome this tendency and create a healthy and beautiful head of hair if you are willing to work for it. Massage the scalp every day until you feel it alive and glow
 ing from the increased circulation. This will loosen the scalp from the bones of the head which means a con- stant supply of blood to feed the roots of the hair.
 A good tonic, massa ged into the scalp several times each week will also hasten the improvement. sham poo about once in three weeks if se- cretions are about normal and if the hair is very dry, once in four weeks will be enough.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am g. lone Iy grass-wid dower of middle age. I have one child, a boy
 I don't seem to be very winning among the ladies. l am not hand some looking man, but will say l am of a jolly but jealous disposition. But can't help that, for when l see some one I think I could love well enough to call my own I am very jealous Of her, and in this way it is hard for me to get a girl to stick by me any length of time. I have had several girls and I thought would be married before this as I have been single for 12 years. But just when I think I've a good one, she breaks loose and leaves me in the lurch.
 I get disgusted at times and then I think I am just as well off. Tell me, if possible, where my mistake is. I have advertised for housekeepers, but none will stay long.
 BOSTON BEN.
 Persaps you have told the secret of your failure when you confess your jealousy A woman doesn't like to be watched, suspected and criticised when she is innocent of giving a man cause for jealousy. Unless you can curb your feeling and remain silent even when you are very jealous, there is little chance that you will find a woman who is willing to subject her. self to your constant criticism.
 Perhaps, too, you are over cautious in making up your mind ana py the time you decide to take a woman for vour wife. she has decided she was only wasting her time with you.
 Also give heed to the faults your housekeepers say you have when they are leaving. Their remarks may not be complimentary, but they are sincere.

DOESN'T LIKE THEM FRIED

My baby girl is II years old; she has been subject to nose bleed ever since she was very young. It leaves her very weak and I'm afraid. of her losing too much blood. She is very white and thin, complains of being tired although naturally lively Sometimes she eats very well, other times does not want anything but a glass of milk. I give her all the fruit l, can, eggs, boiled or in custard (she does not like them fried) and meat and vegetables when she feels like eating them, but she is not so fond of meat She weighs 70 pounds.
 Answer-Give that wise child fried things as little as possible. The gas tric juice finds it hard to work through the fried fat that encloses the food and much indigestion re- suits. As to the nose bleed you had better have the child thoroughly ex- anined There is not infrequent re- lation between nose bleed and some heart, lung. liver and kidney mala- dies. Until the doctor comes, in cases where the nose bleed is exces- sive, and becoming dangerous, the pa tient should lie quiet with the head hanging forward Heat should be applied to the spine Ca towel wrung out in hot water) and the nostrils should insofar as possible be douched by means of a syringe with hot water containing a little salt, lime water, vinegar, lime or lemon juice Or the nostrils may be plugged with cotton; but such plugging should not, in the doctors absence, be persisted in; for the henorrhage may get down the throat It Is the doctors part to make internal applications of adrenaEn chloride, or othe4 astringept sub stances. and to take other measures.

R. L. M,: 'I am anxious to play the piano for the movies and wonder if you can tell me what grade and class of music I should practice for this?" s Answer: Although this is not 'in
 my Hne," reader friend, I should say that you should be able to play any thing from the works of Greig or Dvorak to the simplest folk-song. For the music of a moving picture pianist must in a measure be suggested by the pictures on the screen-for in stance, 'Conin' Thru the Rye for a pretty little loVe-scene in play laid in Scotland; a Sonorous march for the weekly pictoriar' showing parades or soldiers; aand the "Humoresque" for f1lm-story about a violinist. Use your imagination. Go to the movies and ask yourself what you would play to accompany the pictures you see, then go home and practice those pieces. When you think you can play pieces to accompany almost any type of film, apply for a position.
 A Reader: How shall I clean a Copenhagen-blue silk popIin dress? I am afraid to wash it.''
 Answer: It should be dry-cleaned. If you cannot take it to a professional cleaning establishment, then wash it in a gallon of gasoline. Do this work out of doors, as gasoline is extreme ly infammable' if used near heat or flame. Hang the dress on the line for two days. then press it.

CORPSE PROVES
 VERY MUCH ALIVE
Woman Sits Up in Midst ol
 Preparation for Her Burial

New York, June 17-Mrs. Rebecca Senst. 70 years old. became rigid yes terday afternoon as she lay in her bed at the home of her daughter, Mrs Riski Grossman of 2S Lewis street. There was no one with her at the time but an old man of the neighbor- hood who had volunteered to be nurse while Mrs Grossman went shopping. He used a pin and other tests which experience had taught him would show whether people were alive or dead. He concluded that Mrs. Senst was very dead indeed
 The presence of death affected the old man to such an extent that he ran into the street, where he stood and yelled in Yiddish. He drew large and interested crowd of friends, relatives and neighbors of the Cross mans and the Sensts, and fifty or more of them followed him upstairs and crowded into the small room where Mrs. Senst lay motionless. They were making tests, each person having his or her particular test. and when Grossman and Mrs. Grossman got home they were told that beyond doubt Mrs Senst was dead
 So Grossman went to the undertak- ing establishment of Hirsch & Schwartz, and they sent Samuel Don ner and Harry Sherman with a hearse and two big tubs of ice to the Cross man apartment to put Mrs. Senst in a box, packed we'll in ice, and let her stay there until after the Jewish Sab bath, when the burial would take place. They started to do this while the sorrowng friends and relatives watched. They put Mrs. Senst in the box and Donner and Sherman dumped in two or three big cakes of ice.
 As soon as the ice hit Mrs. Senst's body her legs twitched, once. Two er three of the more timid ones in the crowd immediately went home, and the others drew back and watched. They watched for some time but Mrs. Senst did not move again, so Donner and Sherman dumped in some more ice.
 Again Mrs, Senst's leg twitched
 Donner and Sherman became excited then and began throwing the ice into

STRIKE BALLOTS ISSUED

MEXICO IS WELL PLEASED
News of Huerta's Successful Mission To United States Proves Very Gra- ttfytng at Capitol.

Mexico City, June 1s.-News of the successful outcome Of Finance Minis ter de la Huerta's conferences with the international bankers in New York was hailed as momentous achievement and definite step tow ard the resumption by Mexico of it's place in the concert of nations.
 It is now generally predicted by the newspapers that senor de Ia Huerta will doubtless reach com plete agreement with the American oil men relative to taxation, and it is not unlikely that he will go to Wash ington to pay an informal visit to President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes.
 Talk of imminent recognition by the United States immediately was reviv- ed on receipt of the news of the bankers agreement, but in conserva- tive quarters it was pointed out that the adjustment of Mexico's debts is merely one step in the right direction with considerable more distance to cover.
