 M. A. M:-There are different methods of using henna on the hair, according to the needs. If you mere ly wish to tint the grey hair and not change the shade of the balance of the head, the henna will be incIud- ed in the shampoo and only remain on the hair from three to ten minutes.
 s. S.:-When the body is under weight, the feet and hands always show it. but it does not necessarily indicate poor health. Build up your condition by drinking more milk and the hands and feet will show an improvement also.
 Mrs. w. H. B.:-Sometirne es ftIhe hair loses the natural curl when you cut it off. This need not discourage you though since the curl will return as soon as the hair grows long enough mortoW-Imag gination and Health

 Often you have read and heard of the daily grind" end how people hate it Well, in most apartme ent houses the daily grind begins about o'clock in the morning and continues until about 10, depending upon the various breakfast times. The family directly beneath rus has one which resembles a motorcycle. On the right the family has one which gives a correct imitation of a concrete mixer. On the left there is one which is not so boisterous, but more painful, in that it initiates a second -ha.nd Ford running on one cylinder. The one above us in1personates a wooden shoe | dancer. We can tell time by them 1 now and never get up until the 10 | o'clock one. That lady turns a wicked 1 crank. and not even the elevator boy | or telephone operator can sleep l it. Could there not be a law | compelling them all to go off at once ? | Or perhaps they might be eliminated | by a campaign of education | on the evils of coffee drinking. If cof- | fee drinking itself does not make ner- vous wreckS of people, the coffee | mills do; so it'se all off the same piece.

BOARDS TAKE UP
 WATER PROBLEMS
Water Commission To Consider Charles Street Question Tonight and
 Public Works Tomorrow Night

Consideration will be given the wa ter problem existing in the Charles street section of the city, when the beard of water commissioners meets tonight at 7:3o o'clock, and recom- mendatons will be drafted to be sub mitted to tomorrow evenings session of the public works commission.
 A number of wells in this section have been dried up on account of sew CT excavations nearby, Water is now being carried to the residents in a cart and many complaints are receiv- ed daily at city hall. The water boards rules will allow of laying city water mains only when those to be served guarantee a return of eight per cent. a year on the money invested, for a period of five years. The board will discuss ways and means of keep ing the cost of construction so low as to have ordinary water rentals furnish the required eight per cent.
 One of the several plans suggested is to have the property owners do the excavating in front of their own properties. thus reducing the costs sufficiently to allow collection of reg ular rentals only.
