In the Same breath, Il woman across
the room was saying:
Ladies, what can we do for old
Mrs. Ackerman? She used to be a
good dressmaker, YOU know, but she
cannot run the sewing machine now,
with her rheumatism, and she can't
get out at all. Yet she wants so much
to earn her own living and not be a
burden to the community"
why shouldn't she do my mend
ing?" suddenly calculated the woman
who had first spoken. Il could drive
by and take it to her and call for it
again. Id be glad to pay her well
to do it,"
Can I take her my darning basket
to clean out for me?" sang out an
other busy housewife.
"She could hem my new napkins"
said another.
The upshot of that merry confer
ence was that old Mrs. Alderman. a
kindly. smiling old lady, became the
village mender. In her big chair by
the window she sat hour after hour
darning, patching, buttonholing, hem
ming. Her manual skill remained

Cocoanut Oil Makes

with a little warm water, then

and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil

BEAUTY CHATS
BY Edna
Kent Forces.
The Egg Shampoo.

Even when the scalp is in perfectly
healthy condition and the hair thick
and abundant I advise using an egg
whenever the hair is shampooed at
home. 1t makes the shampoo so
much easier that it is quite worth
the trifling expense, while its benefits
to even q healthy scalp are very
great.
The trouble with most home sham
poos, and for that matter with many
given in beauty shops. is that the
hair is not soaped enough. in the first
place, nor given sufficient rinsing
afterward. The oil that coats scalp
and hair and that binds in with itself
an enormous amount of dirt needs a
it's removal. The beaten egg as 1t
dries upon the scalp takes up all this
and all the loose dandruff over the
scalp, holding it firm as it dries. The
egg, Of course, should be we'll beaten,
though it need not be frethy before
it is used, and it should be- allowed
to dry for at least half an hour.
The very first application of soap
and fairly hot water will take out
practically all the egg along with
the oil, dirt and dandruff. which it
has absorbed. second. soaping,
preferably with fresh hot water. is
really all that is necessary. The
hair and scalp are now clean and
Olity LILO SOdp 10 SILL W no ISIloNCd.
Fewer rinsings are necessary, due
to the use of the egg. The first
should be with quite hot water, a
little hotter than that used with the
soap. The next rinsing should be
with water almost equally hot the
third cooler, the fourth still cooler
and at the end q quick rinse with
quite cold water to close the pores
and prevent cold i'll the head.
If you are fortunate enough to
have a hose attachment to the bath
room fawcets, the sort that fixes
over both hot and cold water and
mixes them into one tube, the rims
ing can be accomplished very quick
, ly, since the force of continual hot
water driven through the hair will
| remove the soap in 10 time.
Y. C.-Consult another dentist, one
who gives the skillful treatments used
now to prevent pyorrhea. The fact
that your gums are soft, bleed easily,
and are not holding the teeth firmly
show they are in an unhealthy condi-
tion. You can do much yourself by
giving your gums plenty of exercise
through eating coarser foods, such as
whole wheat or bran bread instead of
: that from white flour.

Beauty Chat for Men.

Most of the letters received from
men fall into two classes. Young
men want to know how to clear the
skin of pimples and the attendant af-
fliction, blackheads; older men how
to prevent badness. One youth, to be
sure, wanted to make his straight
locks curly, but then he was gong
into the movies. so might be forgiven
since the popularity of movie hero
increases in proportion to the lux
uriance and waviness of his hair.
AS far as the complexion goes a
man will acquire a good skin by the
same means as woman. by eating
simple foods. by not overeating or in
dulging too often between meals, and
keeping the body healthy by fresh
air and exercise. Yeast, which is
marvellous for that common aff1ic-
ton, boilS, is gfod also for clearing
the skin of pimples
Badness is different, for 1T Is al
most entirely a. masculine trouble, in
spite of the fact that a man cuts his
hair regularly and d woman rarely.
Badness is due, in my opinion, to
two causes with which a woman does
not come in contact-sttf straw or
felt hats which nOlQ the scalp IN u
yice-like grip and prevent proper cir
culation Of blood to the hair, and
which overhead the scalp as well If
YOU want proof of this look where the
bald spot invariably ends, just where
the hat crown ends. The other cause
is the class of barber shops which
scorns antiseptic or ordinarily clean
methods.
Fortunately antiseptic cleanliness is
becoming a fad.
l.. Eft is much better to depend
upon special exercises and deep
breathing to develop the chest than
to resort to a massage. All the arm
exercises of throwing or describing a
circle will help to build up the mus
cles of chest and those of the bust.
Cocoa butter massaged into the chest,
or any hollows at the base of the
throat, will fill out this part of the
body so well that any lack of devel-
opment will not be noticeable.
