Oily Hair and Dandruff.

Dear Miss Leeds-Q) Will you please
tell me how to remedy falling hair, oily
hair and dandruff? Do not tell me TO
shampoo my hair every week, as that is
impossible because my condition allows
me to have a shampoo only once a
month. CD I am 19 years old and five
feet tall and weigh 1021a pounds. How
much should weigh? DIANA J.
Answer-Q) To overcome oily hair,
dandruff and falling hair one of the
first things to do is to try to re-estab-
lish a normal condition Of the scalp
and the health in general. You need
internal treatment as well as external
applications. If you ara unable TO
shampoo your hair every week with
soap and water you may use an astrin-
gent lotion, which helps to remove the
excess oil and cleanse the scalp by re-
moving the Scale-like crlstS or dandruh
Cleanliness and systematic care will be
very necessary for several months.
In excessive dandruff there is usually
pronounced falling of hair. The scale
like fakes should be looSened and re-
moved by circular movement Of the
comb. AS they are freed from the scalp
they should be brushed away with a
perfectly clean brush. The way to be
sure that your brush and comb are
clean is to sterilize them after using
them every day. After the dandruft
has been brushed out the following an
tiseptic lotion may be applied to the
scalp with a piece of clean absorbent
cotton: 20 grains salicylic acid. SO
grains boric acid. five drops tincture OF
capsicum, one dram tincture of cam
tharides, one dram borax, two ounces
Shake well. The hair and scalp should
be exposed to the air and sunlight fol
several minutes two or three times
daily.
Try to keep your system in a high
state of nutrition and especially as
regards elimination of waste matter
This will tend to reduce toxic material
in the system and improve the general
condition of health. Have plenty OF
fresh air and sunshine in the sleeping
and living rooms Build up your health
by proper diet. rest, relaxation and
fresh air and sunshine. To remove the
excess oil from the hair between the
soap and water washings use one part
toilet alcohol to six parts of Cologne
water. Leave on the hair for five min
utes, then polish with o clean towel
ca You should weigh between 100 and
ITO pounds. LOIS LEEDS.

ness Of his simple life-great platters Of
German food and huge seidels Of his
favorite beer; bourgeois gatherings Of
men who had made their mark in artis-
tic fields, but we're simple peasants at
heart, for all that.
And the Jannings' luck went on the
rocks there when talking pictures robbed
the German who thought and lived in
his own language of his tremendous
Hollywood income and turned him back
on the more proportionate earnings Of
foreign film fields.
Into the house vacated by Jannings
moved Irving Berlin and his wife and
family. What courage!" exclaimed
that Hollywood which lives by smooth
sayers, crystal gazers, lunches, super
stitions of all kinds.
Berlin has known life from its seamy
side too many years to be Influenced
much by all this folderol. He goes
right on with his songs and his even,
quiet life while Hollywood waits to hear
that he has fallen prey to the ill-man-
nered genie who directs the destinies Of
those who life In the Talmadge- Schenck
house.
And while the Hollywood cycle is
swinging into serious fields the story OF
RaSputin quite naturally Is being made
with Paul NUM- as the mad Russian
monk. Pretty girls. dimpled knees, per-
feet cloSe-upS and staggering sex situa-
lions are in their nadir Of popular favor

romance figures prominently.
1t is a strange tack for the village to
take-the village which reused the
backbone of America to q realization
that Illicit romance occurs on mean
streets as well as on Park avenue; the
village which has made every woman
of an age to observe conscious to the
fact that woman's nails must shine
and her hair be waved to attract the
opposite sex.
Perhaps now that same village will
show the backbone Of America that an
evenings entertainment may still be
entertainment without a surplusage OF
sex.

POLITENESS FAILS

In common, everyday affairs we do
not act like sorehead bears. The
most of us are quite polite: in
courtesy we take delight; we beg the
pardon of the gent in whose tophat
we've made q dent, and mutter some
thing fine and sweet If we've been
standing on his feet. And we are
prompt to pardon those who haply
tramp upon our toes, or roundly prod
us in the back and make our bones and
muscles crack. With bows and becks
and wreathed smiles we teeter down
LIES crowded aisles, intent on showing
every man that true politeness is our
plan. This holds while we are on our
feet, and toddling up and down the
street. But when behind our steering
wheels, the kindness in our souls con-
geals. An awkward driver comes along
and scrapes my fender-which is
wrong, and II mildly told him SO, and
beamed on him with eyes aglow, I have
no doubt that he would rise and pleas
antly apologize, and say he'd gladly
pay the bill, and smooth things down

intent, and through the window push

An ice rub does this, and If needed at

Natural Grace.
| ANY one can be graceful. There are
two ways to achieve this most desired
effect.
The first one Is to have the abso-
iutely perfect coordination and control
of your muscles that comes from lead
| ing an athletic life. The other is to
| understand how to relax. I should add
| that II you have perfect muscular con-
troll, you DO understand how to relax.
You must, Of course, watch yourself
most carefully for awkward motions and
awkward attitudes, and for this there
Is nothing better than q long mirror.
You should make it q part of your
dressing table, either building your
dressing table around 1t or having it
near your table in such position that
you get ful-length reflection Of your
self all the time you dress and do
your face. It will show whether you
sit badly or well, whether you put your
clothes on properly or not. what you
II you observe yourself closely enough,
it will show you which of your motions
are awkward and which are attractive.
The only advice can give you, really.
Is to watch yourself very closely and
TO correct as far as you can all gestures
that do not look attractive. The one
great thing to watch for Is nervous
restlessness. The great fault of Amer
lean women Is that they're never still,
they have no repose and no restfulness.
II their hands are not going, their
tongues are, and usually it's both to-
gether. Learn to sit quietly, to keep
your hands quiet, to relax your body.
Grace and repoSe come from that. Be
as active as you want and go in as much
as you can for sports, for these will
give you muscular control and physical
poise, both Of which tend toward grace.
especially recommend dancing as an
artificial means Of acquiring natural
grace.

the blood down from the brain, which
will bring on sleep. A great many
people ind that q cup Of hot milk or
q cup of hot chocolate Is effective; per-
sonally, find milk hard to digest late
at night, and chocolate so stimulating
that I am wide awake at once. For
myself I find that q cup of extremely
hot, very weak tea, preferably taken
with q little lemon and sugar, Is far
more soothing to the nerves than any
other drink. II the tea Is strong it
will stimulate. but II 1t Is weak 1t will
not. One or two cups Of hot water
should have the same effect in case you
dislike tea. Also q couple Of crackers
with or without butter should help.

light meal and the heat Of the drink
will draw blood into the stomach and
naturally away from the brain.
