Hysteria has often bean called the
unknown land OF medicine" It takes
30 many forms that the medical man
can't find q general cure. There are as
many varieties Of hysteyia I'm the world
as there are people who concoct their
own variety.
Until recently hysteria was meaning
less, because personality was meaning
Less. When psychology began to dis
cover the meaning of personality the
medical man began to find a cure, or
rather prevention, for hysteria.
Hysterta goes back to childhood.
All children crave attention. They
want the rest of the world to take note
OF their presence. They also want older
people to do things for them. Unfor-
tunately, some parents spoil their chill
dren by giving them too much attention.
too much help. And SO they grow up
demanding an undue amount Of atten-
ton and assistance as long as they live.
Whenever that happens, society has q
hysteriac on its hands.
xou must have run across persons
VINO get sick" every time they are
asked to shoulder a real responsibility.
Hystericai colds, headaches, pains in
back, etc, are common. In extreme
eases individuals develop hysterical
blindness, deafness or paralysis. The
hysteriacs call back through the years
to mother, IT need help and attention. !"
The way to cure q mild case Of hys-
terra Is to let 1t alone. The serious
eases need to be born and reared again.
Re-edueation Is the modern name.
The sure cure Is prevention. To get
the best results, you have to start with
parents and teachers.

have split lengths of bass wood which
they fasten all together at the bottom

Care Of Dry Hair.

The woman whose hair is dry is often
the envy Of her sisters whose hair Is
stringy and oily. For dry hair needs
less frequent shampooing. 1t seldom
acquires that dirty, greasy look which
comes so quickly in oily hair and 1t
keeps in curl long time and Is usually
fairly fluffy or naturally wavy. OF
course, when It becomes excessively dry
the luster is likely to disappear entirely
and the hairs themselves become stin
and brittle and even break OH and split
And while the woman with dry, fluffy
hair may be envied by the woman with
oily hair, there comes time when this
envy may be reversed. For 1t is the
woman with dry hair who discovers the
gray locks first and unless something Is
done early to feed and nourish her hair
properly she Is likely to have gray hair
very early In life.
Dry hair needs very special care so
that the hair will receive the nourish-
serve Its natural color. In the first place
one should be very careful about the
diet. The hair needs certain minerals
ana other chemical elements and unless
one will eat the vegetables, fruits and
other foods which contain these neces-
sary elements and mineral salts, natu-
rally In time will suffer. For nature has
50 arranged 1t that the body itself takes
these minerals flrst, and unless there In
suficient to spare the hair and its eolor-
ing material do not receive their full
quota. The same principle holds true
regarding the nails, but the hair is
usually the flrst TO suffer.
Next In importance is the daily mas
sage, for unless the scalp Is stimulated
1t will become sluggish and not bring
the nourishment- to the hair even though
there may be plenty of substance in the
blood. Remember that massaging the
scalp does not mean merely rubbing the
surface of the scalp-the skin itself must
be moved. Place the thumbs at the sides
Of the head over the ears. Spread the
fingers Of both hands over the front of
the scalp. Massage by rotating the parts
Of the scalp with the tips of the fingers.
Massage every part Of the head with an
upward, backward, forward movement
:or several minutes. Massage for is min
utes o day Is one Of the very best aids
toward keeping the scalp loose and the
hair In o healthy condition. A well
massaged scalp is . well stimulated
