When your hair looks dull and
lanky, or comes out in punches"
the cause is usually. not hard to
find. Either your vitality is i'm.
paired, due to Indigestion, poor
circulation or constipation, or else
you have neglected to care for it
properly.
Tight hats-especially hats tight
at the band-cause countless cases
Of masculine badness. And il
women continue to wear their
hats just as tight as they can

be falling hair, lifeless, unattrac-

All the hair tonics on earth win

beautiful unless you look after
your general health, overcoming
constipation. So drink plenty of
water. eat plain food at regular
hours, including fresh vegetables
and fruit, and exercise systemati-
cally in the fresh air.
Brush your hair night and
morning with a brush kept clean
by washing it once a week in
warm water and ammonia.
You need shampoo every
week or two weeks, depending on
how oily your hair Is and how
much exposed to dust and dirt.

soap jelly made by melting white
soap in boiling water. Rinse it
well, then lather, scrub and rinse
1t in warm water; a second time.
When every bit of soapsuds is
out, dry 1t carefully by rubbing it
with slightly heated tow ), in
the sunshine.
You will find the following for.

have made q deep study OF them

His story was that Mr.. Snyder,
just before we started to go to his
brothers house for dinner, drank
the contents OF the glass decanter,
and on the way was taken violently
sick and when he got to Schneider's
he vomited.
What truly did happen was this:
There was left in the bottom of the
vessel enough for about two stiff
drinks.

whisky glass, but into a tumbler.
It made a good, full inch in the
generous glass. But he drank it
down in one gulp. It made him q bit
uncertain-I remember drove the
car because Of It.
The dinner started with oysters.
The world knows that oysters on

persons.

fell to the floor and writhed in awful
agony.
I dragged him to his feet, called
for a glass Of hot water and mus

and forced the stuff down his
throat, he gagging and moaning
and fighting me.
I then forced my middle finger
down his throat-this still In the
dining room, for he was too weak
to walk and was too weak to carry
him.

was not very free-handed in spend

which was attached to cock low
on the wall in the living room just
off the main hallway Of our home,
had come off by itself or through

The cock itself had been made
by hand by Mr.. Snyder, and he had
connected it with q piece of piping
running through the wall. The
cock always leaked and l used to
cover 1t with a raw potato to keep

 From upper windows leaned the children, and beside them were the frantic parents, screaming for help The boys rushed to get assistance but could find none quickly and returned to see what they could do alone.
