I'm not going TO bore you by re
peating at this time the rules and
suggestions for massage and brush

ed in this column so often that all
OF you must know them by heart.
But i do urge you TO make : OF
those suggestions NOW. even though
you have never before felt their
need.
II you find a trace of dandruff on
your scalp remember that these tiny
scales stop up the pores and prevent
the ducts from functionins properly.
Therefore, you will want TO clear the
scalp as soon as possible. Equal parts
OF mango cure and olive oil are splen-

same as that used for curing mango.
and your local druggist will be able
to supply you without difficulty.
To completely ove the scalp you
will need about one-half ounce OF
olive oil and one-half ounce OF mango
cure. Add the two together and heat
them Just enough TO take OF the

and dryness soon develop into real beauty prob
lens.
Most of us aren't quite SO industrious in
the care Of our hair during the Summer months
as we are at other times. Then, too, bathing
and all out-of-doors sports take q certain amount
of vitality from the hair unless precautions have
been taken to keep the hot sun from burning
and drying it.
Therefore, I suggest that each one of you
guard your scalp from even the faintest trace
OF dandruff; examine the texture Of your hair
to see If it has coarsened or faded in color, and
if it still retains the glossy sheen that is SO neces-
sary TO healthy hair.
All or any one Of these conditions can be
remedied within a surprisingly short time If you
are systematic in your treatment.
A morning and night brushing Is essential
