AN ARCHITECTURAL TRIUMPH.

The occasion of their first meet
ing was ludicrOus, to say the least.
Burton recalls it now with half
hearted grin, and Lois dates all
important events from the day that
she first heard his knock at the
back door of her cottage.
Wing, Burton's Japanese boy.
was making cake and discovered
that he lacked the necessary cup
of sugar. Being very obliging, and
incidentally fond of cake, Burton
consented to go in search of some
sugar. Armed with a glass meas
turing cup, and feeling rather fool
ish, he started up the shore.
Lois saw him coming through
the pines, tall, bronzed fellow in
soiled white duck hat, navy trousers
and blue jersey, and she fluttered
to her mirror instinctively.
"You want to borrow a cup of
sugar, I'll bet cookie" she said,
answering his knock.
He swept the small white hat
from his head and handed her the
cup. grinning.
"You win the cookie! Wing for
got to bring sugar from the village
this morning down at the wharf
in the village waiting for the
launch, and l gave him lift.
That's how l knew you wanted su-
gar. The poor man discovered his
loss on the way up the lake."
Lois went into the tiny kitchen
to fill the cup, and Burton seated
himself on the rail.
"Now, why didn't I go to the
village for the supplies instead tot
sending Wing?" he asked himself
in disgust.
When there seemed to be no ex-
cuse for staying any longer, Bur
ton took his precious sugar and
rose to go.
i "I'll return this sugar just as
soon as I come back from the post.

70 Save Yonr Hair Take The Air.
It has once more been discov-
cred this time at Battle Greek. that
seborrhea and alopecia, generally
known as oily scalp. dandrpif and
badness, are caused by faulty,
breathing. This discovery Is made
on an average OF once every eight
years. Samson might have saved
his had he taken the air; the Phil
istines caught him mapping.
There may be still living . read
er or two who can recall that l
made some such discovery myself
only q few years ago. Don't you
recollect called attention to the
badness of the violinist and the
luxurious locks Of the singer!
According to the latest discoverer
Of the relation Of faulty breathing
to badness, persons atrifcted with
badness were directed to elevate
and depress the ribs as much as
possible with each breath. At the
end Of one short week, think Of It,
men, Just one week, of this better
breathing, the scalps of those ex-
perimentedi on became free from
dandruf and their hair looked more
lifelike. At the end of two weeks
the hair had lost it's dryness, and
mad taken on new vigor and growth.
Lest disillusioned baldpates dis
miss such evidence with an incred-
ulous smile, the Battle Creek dis
coverer shook up some expired air
in flask with distilled water after
these had been kept in the incu-
bator at body temperature for
short time. He found that some
poison or toxic substance was de-
rived from the expired air, and
when little of this toxin or poison
was injected into rabbits, guinea
pigs, dogs and even hens they be-
gan to lose their hair or feathers.
In 1907 DR.. D. L. Parker adyanc-
ed that idea, ascribing loss Of hair
to toxin in expired air confined
in restricted space in the presence
of warmth and moisture, conditions
he found to exist in the apexes OF
the lungs, the upper part, in indi-
viduals of sedentary habit, persons
who seldom breathe hard or deeply
because they seldom exercise to
that degree. Parker said women
seldom become bald because they
breathe largely with the upper
chest.
All Of this relates to ordinary
! premature badness, the kind thai
creeps insidiously over the head Of
a man at the tender age Of 80 OF
earlier, the forehead extending far
Their and farther back till it almost
reaches the collar line.
This theory that badness is some.
how dependent upon a shortage OF
oxygen in the body, appeals strong
ly because it dovetails SO well with
most of the standard theories o.
the cause Of premature badness
The lazy, sedentary, unathletic
overnourished man generally has ;
slow metabolism, which means h
worries along with a minimum oxy
gen absorption. He is or gener
ally has been fond Of wearing ;
kelly, still further impairing thu
nutrition of his scalp. He live
without work, that is, by his wits

The Daily Short Story

Good morning." she said, step
ping up on to the wharf. IF you
are .going back up the lake, put
your things in the Streak and
I'll be back in minute"
Joybusly, Burton tossed his bun
dies and his sweater into the boat
and waited for her to come back
from the boat house with the bas-
ket of groceries that had been left
there for her.
Lovely morning. isn't it?'' she
said over her shoulder as they
headed out across the lake. Bur-
, ton agreed with her willingly.
1--we been up since dawn, and
have done a days work already" he
told her.
,, "Oh, are you up here to work,
too?" she said, surprised.
He nodded. Working on some
plans for municipal hall my Dad
is presenting to his native town"
! This information threw a new
night on Burton's personality and
interested Lois exceedingly. She
thought he must have very liberal
ideas, and that his architectural
plans must reflect them. That
afternoon when he brought the
rough draft of the hall for her criti-
cism. this opinion was confirmed.
! That's only a draft" he ex-
! planned. "Ill have to work pretty
steadily to finish the thing up in
time to take it to New York next
Saturday"
| Lois opened her eyes wide in
fastonishment. Il should say you
will. 1 know something about
drafting, and 1 thing you will per-
form a miracle if you get it done
by then. Does it have to be in New
York on Saturday."
! Positively not later than mid.
night" answered Burton.

the next moment they were deep /,

Il Wing saw very little of Burto,
the next few days, as he move,

and even ate his meals there, afte

young mans attention, so that his
father had grown Disguised.
"Cheerlo," smiled Lois, waving a
protractor. We've got six hours
to work yet"
"Ill have to take the launch that
leaves in an hour" groaned Bur-
ton. Its the only one tin after
noon"
Nonsense! I'll take you down

"You-you're a peach" gulped
Burton, and seized his T-square.
Campers along the shore watched
the little red powerboat scatter
spray far out to each side as it shot
through the water. A young man

carrying a brief case and leather

windshield to avoid the spray, and

, wharf to help Lois ashore.

her startled lips. She whirled tn,
starter thoughtfully, and wen
slowly, back up the lake, to wait
with the memory Of that kiss an,
the short sentence that accom-
panied it. until her architect re
turned.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Birthnark.

NV 5-months-Old baby has a
birthmark extending from the cor
ner Of the eye down over the tenn
pie, about two inches square. The
family doctor says 1t can be re-
moved by X-ray but it is in q bad
place to treat because X-ray may
injure the eye, and then the birth
mark may return in case OF shock
MRS. s. G.
Answer-The younger the child
the better the result of treatment
for birthmark. There would be no
particular danger for the eye if the
birthmark does not involve the eye
lid, the eye may be protected with
a lead covering when the X-ray is
applied. Shock has nothing to do
with the question Of birthmarks.
TOnsls and X.Ray.
Please tell me whether diseased
or infected tonsils can be effaced as
well with X-ray treatments as by
surgical treatment. MRS. S.K.W.
Answer-That is still moot
question. Physicians who have had
considerable experience with the
X-ray treatment praise 1t, but
whether the sterilization Of the ton
sils by ,X-ray treatment ia lasting in
effect it Is as yet too early to know.
Violet Ray.
Will the Violet ray or other cleo
tfic massage prevent falling hair at
any period of life Is it beneficial to
the scalp generally?
MRS. NJ. E. NJ.
Answer-No. The term ultra
violet ray" refers to the invisible
rays of light beyond the violet rays
Of the spectrum. Sunlight is rich
in ultraviolet rays. So is the arc
light. But the colored violet light
has no particular remedial value
Ultraviolet light has great remedial
value, and among other purposes
the treatment Of falling hair by ul-
traviolet light is often beneficial
Ultraviolet rays will not pass
through glass, but will pass through
a quartz crystal. The so-called
Quartz lamp is one artificial means
of applying ultraviolet light. The
popular foys called violet ray ma
chimes have practically no remedial
! value.
! ISchiO.rectal Fistula.
Kindly inform me whether ischio
/ rectal fistula can be cured by treat
ment other than operation. Wha
are the causes, of such fistula?
| NJ. C. A.
Answer-The original cause i!
usually ischio-rectal abscess. Som,
fistulas can be made to heal with
out operation.
