Hair You Envy

My hair is the envy of thousands
who see 1t, on the stage and else
where. 1t is heavy, silky, lustrous-
far finer than 40 years ago. / have
never had falling hair or dandruff,
never touch of gray. Yet mine is a
grandmothers age.
I owe this to a formula which
French experts made for me. I
have supplied it to many frienas. 1t
has brought to.them what 1t brought
to me--luxuriant heads of hair. Now
by countless requests, ] am placing
this formula within every womans
reach. Men are also welcome to it.
Use an eye dropper
I call this formula my Hair Youth.
One applies it with an eye dropper,
directly to the scalp. Apply just
enough to dampen the scalp. This
takes but minute and it does not
muss the hair.
1t attacks the hardened oil and
dandruff. which stifle the hair roots
1t cleans the scalp, stimulates and
fertilizes. Then hair flourishes as
flowers thrive in a well-kept garden.
Hair troubles come from stifled
hair roots. Gray hair comes from lack

KEEPING FIT. Sub.
DR.. HUTCHINS AT
K. OF P. MEETING

DIR. G.. Fl. Hutchins, Of the State
| department of health gave an inter
| esting illustrated lecture last even
! ing in the knights of Pythias hal
/ On Silver street. The lecture was ono
of the series that DIR. Uutchins has
been giving in this city and vicinity
On the general subject of keeping
Fit" The theme taken up last even
ing was How Disease is contracted
DIR. Hutchins showed several hun.
cred feet of film, illustrating many
of the ordinary ways in the ordinary
walks of life that people run into
various troubles that effect their
health.
There are three ways to prevent
the contraction of disease" declared
the doctor. "by Community Santa
ton, by Individual Sanitation and by
Individual Hygiene. My tain comes
under the last of these, Individual
Hygiene"
He referred to the subject of Birth
Control, which has been of great in
terest and has been the topic for
many discussions of late.
Equally as important today is the
subject of Birth Control" declared
the doctor explaining, why the
weight of IN individual has not much
effect on his or her health. He de-
Clared that people who are apt to
carry excess weight seldom live Il
very long life. but with the new
form of Individual Hygiene one can
easily correct their weight in a short
time. De gave concrete illustrations
to prove this.
In the course of the lecture. DR..
II f,,1, inc. y,rN teyh ca n
tereytlng and helpful points con-
corning the relation of everyday liv~
ing and diet to the health, and told
of the Importance of the correct
manner OF dieting. Some kinds OF
food which many people would
thrive on will act in just the oppo-
site way with many others. Again.
he explained lat age has a great
deal to do with the form of diet one
can keep fit on. That is. certain
food might give strength to one man
while IN ten years. the same foods
would act rs poison.
On the other hand, the doctor said
that the nervous system and its con-
dition was one of the largest factors
In the health of the body. One gains
weight when contented and happy
but the moment that something
comes up in his or her lie Wnlcli
causes anxiety. a great deal OF worry
or care. the person does not digest
the foods in the proper manner and
thus loses weight and perhaps IS
bothered with physical troubles. He
declared that there are exceptions %
this. in the case of the man or wom-
an who has extraordinary self con-
troll ard can throw off the effects oil
tho added nervousness.
DR.. Hutchins' lecture was very
much enjoyed by all present and he
was voted a host of thanks by the
lodge members

was worked on class of candidates
