Harmful Dandruf.

Does your scalp show even a little
dandruff? If so. you should begin to
treat IT instantly, for even a little
dandruff is menace to the health
and beauty Of the hair.
There are SO many reasons for dan
druff that II is almost impossible to
discover the cause in any one par
tiCular case. You may have been
washing the hair too much, you may
not have washed il enough. you may
be eating too much starch, a COM
mon but little known cause of this
trouble. You may have been using
too strong a soap. or you may not
rinse the soap sufficiently from the
scalp. You may have used the hair
brush or comb of somebody who has
dRndruff and so have caught the
germ (men's barber shops are great
distributing centers), or you may
have been wearing heavy, heating
hats too many hours a day.
Here you have all the most ordi-
nary causes. Now for the cure.
The best way to fight dandruff Is
to use oil in great quantities upon
the scalp If the trouble is in It's
early stages when II makes the hair
greasy you may not like this advice.
You will probably wash the scalp
more frequently than usual in a vain
attempt to wash off this ever-increas-
ing amount OF oil. but as you cannot

Decoration Like Links of Sausage

In the oriental countries there was
