Some women think petroleum Jelly

pure oil Is excellent because 1t keeps the
skin from getting too dry. But If you
want an oil to make the hairs really
grow, use castor oil. This. being a
vegetable oil, will nourish. IL will also
darken the hair and 1t will make brows
and lashes glossy too.

Combination furniture is reaching a
high peak Of perfection. This is partly
due to necessity because Of restricted
space IN modern apartment life, and 1t
is also partly due to the natural delight
in that ingenuity which makes things
not always what they seem.
This idea Of double. triple and even
ouadruple uses for furniture hanks back
to o,der times. 1t is not modern in
conception. but irr-adaptation. We have

again popular, in revised form TO suit
modern needs.

Is Dampness a Hazard b!

One of the hardest traditions OF
hygiene is the notion that dampness is
injurious to health. This notion came
down to us from our benighted fore
fathers who observed that malaria pre-
vailed in swampy regions and wrongly
deduced from that fact the conclusion
that malaria depended on some miasm
effiuvium or other vague influence that
rose from the damp ground. To this
day plenty of laymen harbor precisely
such deluSion, and health or sanitary
authorities encounter considerable trou-
BILE in carrying out real preventive
measures against malaria because the
real preventive measures do not impress
the untutored layman as being ade-
quate.
Anybody with a fair intelligence in
regard to hygiene and sanitation knows
that malaria is caused only by the bite
of a certain breed of mosquito, called
AnopheleS, never by the bite of the
common mosquito. Culex, that prevails
In all parts of the country. Unless one
is bitten by the female of Anopheles
(the males do not mite mani it is i'm
possible to contract malaria, no matter
how Swampy or damp the soil or the
climate.
unfortunately there are other vague
traditions associated with the question

fortunately lot of our medical and
sanitary authorities or officers are old
timers, beyond the physiological age
when 1t is possible to change the mind,
once a theory, fancy or conviction has
been formed. and these old timers are
fond of making just such observations
as our benighted ancestors made In re-
gard to malaria, and drawing just such
erratic conclusions from their observa-
tiunS, particularly In respect to diseases
we do not understand much better than
our forefathers understood malaria.
Thus rheumatism the old
timers may mean by the term-and
colds whatever anybody magines
they may be--are still vigorously
ascribed to dampness by the old timers.

all we cut hole in them so that the
