PREVENTING Badness


If q mans or a woman's hair
loses its luster and becomes thin at
forty, or If it starts turning gray
or begins falling out, it is sign
Of general body degeneration.
Everyone wishes to keep as at
tractive an appearance as possible,
and, although there is nothing re-
pellent about a clean bald head, it
can certainly not be considered q
mark of beauty. The main point to
remember, however, is that falling
hair is sure sign of failing health
and a warning which can be OBJ
served in many cases many months
and even years before an impend-
ing serious disorder develops.
The best way to check falling
hair-health is through properly reg
ulating the diet. All devitalized
food must be avoided, and an in
crease made in the use of the tissue
building foods containing the valu-
able hair-building minerals.
One who wishes to get the quick
est results from changing to these
vital foods will do well to start off
by giving the body q chance to
cleanse itself Of any accumulated
toxic wastes. A few days on q
fruit diet will be very helpful at
the start. The good effect of this
will not be apparent for several
weeks, but as the blood is enriched
by the new diet there will be q
slow but sure change as the hair
becomes stronger and more album
dant.
believe that a great deal Of
good coming from this fasting and
diet treatment is because Of the
change made upon the ductless
glands. Old age and degenerative
diseases probably have their Begin
ming from a lessening of the nor
NAL functions Of these glands be-
cause Of injury to the glands from
the effects Of an over.abundance of
toxic poisons. As these are freed
from the system through q blood
cleansing and bodybuilding diet,
the glands are then able to perform
their normal functions. This surely
has an effect upon the growth Of
hair.
The tone of the whole body as
we'll as the health Of these glands
is influenced by systematic physical
culture. Calisthenic exercises
should be taken twice daily SO Is
to exercise every muscle Of the
body. This is even more important
at middle age than it is during
growing youth.
At the same time that the diet is
corrected, and the increased ply
steal exercise is taken, every meas
ure should be used to increase the
circulation of blood to the hair
roots. Frequent combing and brush
ing Of the hair, with clean comb and
brush, is stimulating to the scalp.
Pulling the hair and massaging the
scalp with the fingertips is also
helpful.
1t is important to keep the scalp
as clean os any other part of the
body. During the first part Of the
treatment it is a good plan to wash
the scalp thoroughly each day with
soap and water, rinsing the hair

Marye dearest:
It's really too bad the way you've
suffered at the hands Of man. Isn't
it? No fine motor car, no nice,
modern apartment with every
luxury! No beautiful clothes - not
even a permanent wave!
Marye, do hate to hear a woman
ranting about the injustices man has
imposed upon her through the. ages.
Last week, at the sewing circle, we
had an "emancipated" woman pres
ent and she talked the same kind of
nonsense your last letter contained.
It's true that men have always
looked to women to preserve the
finer things of life, the spiritual and
cultural as well as the moral. And
in return for putting us up on a
pedestal and "shackling" us they
have given us comforts and Injuries
and beauty.
Besides, though we may have lost
sight of this in our displeasure at
having our experiments with life
limited according to their ideas of
proper conduct for us, we have had
the best of the bargain in respect to
the two standards.
One grove in beau and goodness.
Marye, and perishes in ugliness and
evil. Man may have been thinking
Of his own interests alone when he
put across" the single standard
granted it was his doing-but if so
he unconsciously thrust more happi-
ness upon woman than she ever could
have got by following in his foot
steps.

as woman. True, dear, but would
either be happy if woman had EN-.
braced the single standard too?

the White House will win. Similarly,
if the strong movement to stop
Smith succeeds, it doesn't mean that
Reed, Walsh or any other good man
can win. A deadlock is likely to
mean the defeat of all the leading
candidates, and the compromise man
may be good, bad, awful or terrible.
If Hoover can't make a majority,
Lowden's chances, which no political
expert Of consequence has recognized
at all, are virtually nil. It has been
supposed that Dawes would be the
logical compromise between these
two. But the Hoover leaders have
for months believed that Dawes was
the real villain whom they had to
beat. Hoover, definitely stopped,
would hardly consent to letting any
delegates go to Dawes.
The Reed-Smith situation. is much
the same. Tammany Hall has been
growing at Reed for weeks. The
Houston convention is likely to find
it after his blood. The same prob
ably will go for Tom Walsh, whose
nomination in any event probably
would be blocked by power and oil
interests.
All these candidates have enemies,
so it is not suggested that all deserve
unanimous support. But for all the
critics, their records have placed
them in their present leading posi-
tions.
Hoover has been fine food adj
ministrator and relief director as
well as an extraordinarily able cab
met member, Smith has a remark
able record as New York's governor,
Walsh did the country enormous
benefit in exposing the oil scandals,
Reed has served in both his party
and the country in exposing slush
fund corruption, Lowden was fine

been able to preserve his presiden.

Washington, March 15.-As presi-
Dental caliber goes in this country,
the outstanding candidates in both
parties have it. That goes for
Hoover. Smith, Reed, Dawes, Walsh
and Lowden. AS usual, such incom-
petents and mere windbags as are in
the running are to be found among
the favorite sons. But some of the
favorite sons are good timber, too.
These facts may be worth con-
sidering alongside statements by
such politicians as Charles Hilles of
New York and Big Bill Thompson,
that President Coolidge really is the
only man who can pull his party
through to 1888.
On the Democratic side, Of course,
the situation differs. There the ar
gument is that Smith is the only
man who can be elected. This is
based on the party's need Of eastern
electoral votes and the seldom spok-
en- but general belief that if Smith
isn't nominated the Catholic voters,
incensed by seemingly religious big
otry, will desert the party.
1LdC UcluS oOs luc party OILY
hope for November would depend on
it's ability to persuade Smith, to
campaign vigorously for the nominee
or on the nomination Of a western
man who might win with a combin-
alton of the south and the west.
But the fact that several able men
are now out after delegates-or that,
as in the case of Dawes-their
friends are-emphasizes even more
impressively the distinct possibility
that none of them will be nomin-
ated.
In other words, either or both
nominations may 60 to men who
never have proved their capacity for
handling job like the presidency.
1t is hard to believe that either
party will name anyone who has not
already gained the respect of the
voters by a record Of achievement,
but it can be done and sometimes
if not too often-has.
To look ahead three months can
only be done on the basis Of spec
ulation, but at this stage little more
than speculation is possible.
There is strong movement among
Republican politicians to stop
Hoover. But if Hoover is stopped,

sage well into the scalp.
An excellent treatment I have
found very effective for bringing a
surging supply of blood to the
scalp is to treat every place where
the hair is thin with the applica-
ton of ice. Hold a piece of ice d.
rectly against the spot and allow
it to remain for a minute or two,
or until it no longer feels cold,
which will be when enough blood
has come into the parts to protect
against the cold OF the ice. Use
this treatment each day before the
hair is washed. Keep up the wash
ing and ice treatment for a week or
two at first, then about every other
day. The combination Of dieting,
exercising, and local treatments is
bound to produce good results in the
cultivation of more abundant and
luxuriant hair.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: j. G. F. asks: "What
causes person to jump rather vio-
lently several times just before get
ting to sleep? This is a nightly
occurrence with me-"
Answer: These jumping symp-
toms are doubtless due to some kind
Of nervousness. Search to find the
cause of the nervousness, which you
will usually find in wrong habits
Of eating, and destructive habits Of
thought.
Question: Mrs. w. b. w. writes:
"You say in an article that the pa
tient suffering from nephritis may
have a little lean meat. Will you
please print list of the lean meats
he may have?"
Answer: The leanest meats are
beef and mutton. Fish, chicken,
turkey and rabbit may also be used
in place of these other meats.
Question: M. I. F. writes: "Will
you please advise what / should do
for my little boy two and half
years old, weighing thirty pounds?
He has no desire to eat at all and at
nlealtime have to force him and
then he takes very little at that.
I give him codliver oil three times
q day. He is very pale and rather
dark under the eyes. Would it be
worms? Kindly tell me the symp-
toms and how the child would act"
Answer: Give your child fruit
diet for few days. Let him select
anv one kind Of the acid fruits he
likes and have him take nothing but
this until he is hungry for regular
meals. You can easily find out if
he has worms by giving him a
worm remedy which your druggist
can supply. Leave out the codliver

More Crossings

For every grade crossing that is eliminated,
three are created, according to railroad statis-
tics. The new ones come in with the creation
or improvement of new highways, cutting
through new streets and extension of railway
lines.
At the same time that this danger is tripled,
the number of automobiles in the country is
constantly being increased.
The result is that the railroad grade cross
ing difficulty becomes more dangerous year by
yaer, despite all efforts on the part of govern
ment and railway officials to the contrary.
Fool-proof crossing devices have been tried to
little avail. The human element still has to
be relied on.
That human element lies in the soberness
and watchfulness of the auto driver. He should
remember that railroad trains can't fly and
that he's bound to cross their tracks OH almost
any highway. 1t is therefore obligatory on
his part to watch for trains, to slow down, get
into low gear and cross tracks carefully.
The single automobile can be more easily
controlled than great powerful locomotive
running at high speed and pushed on by ire
mendous momentum. The match, therefore, is
all to the loss of the automobile.
