Massage the Neck.

After you have passed the age Of
80 your neck will need an unusual
amount OF care IL you want to keep
your youthful appearance for the
next quarter century. 1t is fortu-
nate, however, that the neck is easier
to treat than almost any other part
OF the body. It has no tendency to
grow superfiuous hair. therefore
thick creams made with cocoa butter
can be used on it.
I am going to give several sugges-
tions and list them according to their
expense. the first one costing prac-
tically nothing. If you do not wish
to spend much In identifying your
self, or IL you live an inconvenient
distance from drug stores, try this:
First, scrub the neck thoroughly
with hot water and soap, preferably
with a small brush, rinse with hot
water, dry and while the skin Is still

leave on overnight. The muslin can
be washed and used again and again.

The Comfortable Riding Habit
BY ANNE RirrENHoUsE.

The seasons penchant for buying
the parts of ones costume piecemeal
and putting them together with ac-
cessories also bought piecemeal has
extended to riding habiliments. There
is no longer a definite. prescribed
riding habit with which go certain
accessories as rigidly correct" as

situation with women's riding clothes.
You may choose the coat and shirt
and breeches. boots and small acces-
sories in which you ride with the
same free choice with which you as

praise to the clever equestrians who
have blazed the trail, you may also
be comfortable.
This condition makes 1t seem,
though II is semblance rather than
fact, that riding outfits do not cost
so much as they did once. You buy
a pair of breeches-for not very

a few shirts. of pongee or other
wash silk-and bought one at a time
they are not counted off against the
total cost of your equestrian cos

are these days. The hat may be ex-
pensive, but it need not be. There
are charming little banded leghorn
hats with the conventional fat bow
at the side that are not at all high
priced but securely smart.
For summer you will surely select
washable breeches. Those of white
linen are very good, and there are
others of natural colored linen crash
that are perhaps more substantial.
With the white linen ones you would
probably wear one of your white
wash silk shirts and. with the crash,
a shirt of pongee. If you ride much
and wish variety you may achieve
this with two or three riding coats
of different colors.

Malnutrition.

1t is estimated Il may as well
admit that I'm the guy that makes
the estinate) that 1857 per centum
of parents still feel somewhat in
dienant when little Sam or Dorothy
comes home from school with an
insinuation from the doctor or nurse
or teacher about "malnutrition" or q
poorly nourished" state.
I hasten to assure wrathful parents
that such a report does not signify
that Sam or Dorothy isn't getting the
best of bread and butter in ample
amounts. There is more malnutrttion
among the children Of the well-to-do
or wealthy classes than there Is
among children of the poor. So mo-
body need resent the imputation that
a child is not "well nourished." DR..
William R. P. Emerson, who estab-
lished the first nutrition class for
poorly nourished school children,
noticed early in his study of mall
nutrition that the families had suf-
ficient food for good nourishment.
but the malnourished child perhaps
omitted certain essential foods from
his diet or had formed bad food
habits. Later he found that even the
poor families consumed too large q
proportion of the more expensive
foods, and that it was frequently pos
sible to teach the mother how to care
better for her family with less money.
I'll admit there's more truth than
poetry in that, but I must stick to
my poetry here.
Emerson (''Nutrition and Growth
in Children" published by D. Apple
ton & Coz finds that some of the
factors formerly assumed to be re-
sponsible for malnutrition are really
Of no importance-such as bad
heredity, congenital syphilis. latent
tuberculosis and self-abuse. NO
greater proportion of any large
group of malnourished children react
to the Wasserman test (for syphilis)
or the Won Pirquet test (for latent
tuberculosis) than of q similar group

adenoids body or by neglected chronic
rhinitis or other trouble in the nose)
are Of considerable Importance, and
when such defects are overcome the
child generally picks up in weight
and strength.
Excessive fatigue Is another i'm
portant factor OF malnutrition in
school children: here we must once
more call attention to the abuse Of
children by incompetent teachers who
sit up nights planning or scheming to
stretch out the homework to the ex-
treme limit. A good teacher or q
good school gets over the subject
throughly in the ordinary school
hours. No child Of common or high
school age should be required to do any
home work outside OF regular school
hours. Parents are too tolerant OF
this and other entertainments OF mis-
managed schools upon the children's
rightful rest and recreation time.
Certainly the incompetent pedagog
should not be permitted to pick on
the underweight or physically de-
flcient child in this way, at any rate.
We are too prone to ignore or for

ton in successful life, and no

Hair Often Ruined by Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Many soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Is suf-
fcient to cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten your hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excess oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
