All, but suppose there are 2SS come
doneS calling for treatment. That
would be two gross, but in such case
we should be dealing with habit and
not just an accident. Where the Sc
baceous or oil ducts get into the habit
Of retaining the sebum that way it is
generally attributable to the ardor OF
the youthful skin-overproductio OF
skin oil, let us say, carrying the nor
NAL physiological superactivity Of the

and has absolutely and positively
nothing to do with ones habits, diet
cleanliness or uncleanliness, or the
purity of ones blood, not even if
every darned comedo eventually be
comes pimple or boil.
l am putting this in the light Of our
knowledge, with no intention to depre
cate the theories physicians have en-
tertaincd from time to time. For in
stance, so far as our present knOWl
edge goes, there is no ground for the
/ theory that the overindulgence in
sweets. or in rich food, or in fats
or in any particular food material is
: a factor of blackheads or pimples in
youth. The occurrence Of such trou

good reason for modifying a youth s

chiffon stockings, or who plan to
spend most of their vacations in bath
ing suits. Hairs on the lips or chin
are also very annoying, and many of
my readers write to ask how to re-
move them.
There are three ways to treat these
superfiuous hairs. The simplest and
easiest is by bleaching them so that
| they become less conspicuous. Perox-
ide may be used for this purpose or a
| mixture of two parts peroxide and one
part ammonia. This treatment does
not encourage the growth nor does it
remove the hairs.
The second way IS to remove the
hairs temporarily with depilatory
preparation, razor or pumice. The
| hairs grow in again thicker than be-
fore, so that the process must be re-
| peated from time to time. The depila-
| tory may be powder that one mixes
with water, ready-made cream or
wax. The first two forms destroy the
| surface hair by chemical action. but
| leave the root intact. The wax en-
meshes the hairs so that when it is
pulled away they break off, but the
roots remain to produce more hairs.
Shaving and rubbing with pumice
take the hairs off at the surface of
the skin only, so that they soon grow
out again. Of the methods described
in this paragraph / consider the chem
ical dcpilatories the best for removing
sores developed after the use of de-
pilatories, but this is not likely to hap
pen unless one neglects to follow the
directions printed on the package.
A slight down Of hair on the face
should be left strictly alone. If hairs
become long and dark, however. they
may be bleached or permanently re-
moved by electrolysis or the ray meth
cd. / am often asked whether the
former is really cure for the blem-
ish. When the electric needle is in
serted into the hair root as it should
be the growth is entirely destroyed,
but if an unskilled operator does the
work he may not place the needle
correctly, with the result that the
root remains and later sends up an
| other hair. In expert hands, however,
electrolysis is a permanent cure and
| leaves no scars. Only few hairs are
| treated at each sitting. 1t is very inn
| portant to go to an experienced oper-
ator who you are sure knows all about
| his business.
| Electrolysis is a slow. tedious method,
so it Is not practicable when a large
area, such as an arm or a leg, is to

manently. For this purpose the ray

A friend of mine in Paris assures
me that the automobile has changed
fashions and manners quite as much
in France as in the United states

the existence of French women of the

out the inconvenience of railroad

Country clothes and sports clothes
are. therefore, a necessity to all bet

long sojourn at a Summer resort or
not. For five days a week they wear

A Drink for Fido.

In the dog days remember the dog.
Everybody and everything, every
plant and tree, bird and beast, needs
water in the Summertime-Wa and
plenty of it. The sun drinks up so
much of us during the heated spell
that the only way we can keep up at
all is to drink more and more good.
cool water. We are able to get what
we want, but the dogs and the horses
have to wait until 1t is given to them.
Usually the men in charge of the
horses see that they get a drink when
they need one, but the dogs, because
they are not always close to their
masters, suffer thirst.
1t would be a very kindly thought
if the Boy Scouts took over the task
Of attending to the dog fountains
about the streets. If there are no
fountains for the dogs, couldn't each
Scout see that there was a pan of
fresh. clean water set in a shady place
for the dogs on his block? Or the
Camp Fire Girls might undertake the
erection of a fountain for horses and
dogs.
Summer is hard on dogs under the
best conditions. The pavements are
hot under their feet. Hot dry feet
make the whole body miserable. The
hairy coat, often unclipped from year
to year, makes the dog still more
uncomfortable. Then the fieas poster
him until he grows SO weary that his
troubles express themselves in nerv-
Gus actions that scare people out of
their wits.
If a dog is worth having he is
worth taking care of. He has to be
housed and fed and bathed and
brushed and combed. He must have
restricted diet during the hot days
and there must be plenty Of water

Is Salesman Entitled to Comm is
Sions on Sale Defeated
By Employers Fault?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Henry Brown Travelled on the road
for shirt company and worked on a
commission basis, the agreement re-
garding which read as follows:
THE company agrees that for all
collections made for goods sold UNI
der the agreement they win remit to
the agent such an amount as shall
be due for his commissions on the
sale on or before the 10th of the
month following the collection"
After working arduously on one of
his customers. Brown succeeded in
landing an order which carried q
large commission.
Much TO his chagrin, however,
Brown later learned that the shirts
had not come up to the quality of
the samples and had been returned
by the purchaser.
Notwithstanding the return of the
merchandise. Brown made a demand
upon his employer for the commits
sions. But the latter refused to
make payment. declaring that the
contract called for payment only
upon the collection of the accounts.
Brown sued for his commissions.
Notwithstanding the clause in the
contract. and won his case. the
court declaring:
"As rule. the failure, refusal or
inability of an employer TO carry out
the contract entered into in his be-
half does not defeat the agents right
to compensation for negotiating that
contract where the customer is ready,
willing and able to pay for the goods
but the contract is not carried out
because of the principals default"

Two Little Boils.

Once upon a time there was a little
comedo, a perfectly conventional one,
but right away, lest some one mis-
understand, we had better give the
synopsis of this comedo. Without re-
ferring to Webster-though just be-
tween ourselves / did, to make sure
DIR. Webster was right about tive
may explain briefly that comedo IS
a plug or mass of material in the quot
of a sebaceous gland. and when, as Is
usual, the plug or mass of somewhat
hardened sebum becomes darkened by
dust and CRIME it is commonly called
n blackhead. Often, much too often,
these confidential gents who pose as
beauty specialists" tell their simple
customers that blackheads are due to
dirt" and If the customers take this
nonsense seriously, then the beauty
experts follow it up with a line Of
treatment calculated to 90 down into
the pores" and remove the dirt"
Aside from the simple fact that
nothing will enter the sebaceOus ducts
or openings even when these are d.
lated and oyerfilled with sebaceous
matter, this cleansing mania or OBJ
