falling hair is an entirely different mat
ter. As I stated before, the condi.
! tion of the hair is frequently a very
good indication of the condition of the
general health. When the hair per-
sists in falling out Of the head of a
person not yet old enough for it to be
caused by senility, it is time to make
prompt investigation Of the cause.
| If you 60 to a physician, and he
recommends hair tonic or treat
mept to the scalp, without making
general investigation of the condition
of your health, it will be wise to con-
suit another doctor, one who searches
/ for the cause, finds them and removes
them.
Sometimes the scalp becomes drawn,
tight, contracted by external causes.
The roots of the hairs are pinched and
and the hair breaks off, coming away
abundantly with each combing.
i In such cases, almost any good hair
tonic that is we'll rubbed into the.
/ scalp will be beneficial, but about 80
PER cent of the benefit will be pre-
duced by the stimulation of the skin
by the rubbing or massage directed
in applying the tonic. The skin over
the skull should be just as loose, fex-
! ible and free as the skin on your wrist
or back of your hand. A head covered
with dandruff means a head not
properly cared for. The reason for
! the success Of some advertised cures
for dandruff and falling hair, is that
he cure is usually a well prepared
shampoo soap with careful directions
! for its vigorous and frequent use.
/ A shampoo should be taken, es-
pecially in cold weather, only at night
Ebefore retiring and after drying and
thoroughly manipulating the scalp,
a warm, dry, soft stocking should be
4 put on, and kept on overnight. Of
course, the hair should be conbed and
put in order before pla cling the stock
ing cap over it.
By using the shampoo and manipu
lation, then putting on the stocking
cap and going to bed, there will be no
danger of the relaxed pores of the
scalp becoming chilled and contracted.
THIS bad effects are avoided.

gave formula for making fine quail

making such things. Such work is.
usually turned over to the woman,
and she no longer spins and weaves,
bakes or b0ils, because she has too
many duties of other kinds. Dad no
longer takes a grist OF wheat or corn
to the mill, but buys the bread and
pays the doctot.
The wheat is robbed of it's nutritive
elements and the white starch only put
into the bread he buys. Not enough
natural food elements are secured for
the nouriihment of all parts of the
body. Nature eliminates the least
i used and least necessary parts, hence
! falling hair.
Look to your diet, see that diges-
tion and elimination are both perfect,
supply natural food elements and ex-
4 erclse every portion CT your body, in
Guiding the scalp, daily, and your hair
will retain it's vigor throughout life.
