Beauty
How to Brush
The Hair
By DONNA GRACE

Do you like your own hair? Is it
distinctive and flattering or is 1t
of the mediocre or non-descript
type?
Nice hair is one of the great
est beauty attributes that any girl
can possess, and it will assure a
kind Of loveliness to even the
plaineSt face.
When we talk of the beauties Of
long ago, we are apt to stress the
fact that hair was brushed its
daily hundred strokes and
anointed with precious oils and
what not.
The average girl Of today knows
the necessity of caring for the
hair and many of them are well
informed about the best methods.
They know more about the prin-
ciple of brushing hair and that it
stimulates the circulation and
brings a new blood supply to the
scalp and refine and train the
hair.
The type of brush is differ
ent now, too. We may still like
the pretty gold. silver, French
enamel sets, but for real brush
ing we use a plain wooden one
with good bristles.
The brush would be used more
often if girls realized that the
hair may be brushed thoroughly
without destroying the wave. 1t
is brushed in layers and each
wave is lifted up from the head
and brushed with the up-Stroke.
Frequent brushing will i'm
prove any type of hair so much,
but it is marvellous for dry hair.
Before brushing dry hair. use a
very light fabrication on the
scalp and brush this Oil through
the hair and you will be de-
lighted with the lovely softness
and bright sheen it produces.
Why not get this complete
brushing and lubricating method?
It is part of my Treatment for
Tired Hair. Send stamped,

Health
Trea tment of
tuberculosis
BY LOGAN GLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN GLENDENING, M. d.
We referred this week several
times to the decreasing death rate
from tuberculosis. We are talking
about tuberculosis in honor of the
sale of Christmas seals which be-
gan on Thanksgiving.
The death rate Is q gruesome
thing to refer to, but it is the
only accurate gauge we have Of
the incidence of the disease.
This decrease is undoubtedly
due partly to the fact that the
incidence of the disease is less
than it used to be. Undoubtedly
it is also due to the fact that we
have better methods Of treatment
after the disease is discovered.
1t was not so very many years
ago that a case of tuberculosis
was considered as hopeless as a
case of cancer. During the last
century a few instances were re-
ported of the cure of tuberculosis,
and the doctor who made the re-
port evidently did not expect that
he would be believed. Tradeau,
one Of the great heroes Of the ad-
vance of our knowledge of tuber-
culosis, when he found, as a
young man, that he had it him
self, went into the Adirondack
woods to die, as he himself said.
in the peace of the great wilder
ness.
A Physicians Story
I talked to a physician the
other day who told me this story:
While he was an inferno at Johns
Hopkins Hospital he acquired
what he thought at first was a
deep cold. One day he spat
blood. He took his sputum in to
his fellow inferno and roommate
and said, What do you think of
that fellows chances?" His young
doctor friend looked at it and
said, II don't think they are very
good" They are just as good
as mine, for that is my speci-
men," was the reply. And yet
today, nearly 80 years later, he is
alive and we'll to tell the tale.
The sheet anchors of our treat
ment still are rest, open air and
good nourishment, but we have
had many advances in surgical
treatment of tuberculosis. In
fact, 1 read an article the other
day which was entitled rs Pull
monary tuberculosis to Become
Surgical Disease?" I do not
think it is, but there is no ques-
ton that a great advance has
been made.

WANTS FREEDOM

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il know my husband is going
out with another woman and
that he enjoys drinking better
than his home or me. He told
me he would give me q certain
amount of money each week if
I would break up our home and
go back to my own people.
This is very hard, as I have
been married Is years. love my
husband devotedly, and enjoy my
little home. But this seems to be
his choice. Would 1t be better to
give him his freedom and let
him go his way. or be left alone?
"a LONESOME WIFE"
Dear Lonesome Wife:
A good many men have lived
to regret the freedom" they
begged for. when 1t has landed
them on the park bench or in
the bread-line. And they have
come back to the homes they IN
sisted UPON breaking up, and bit
terly upbraided the deserted wife
for giving them their way.
When drink and 'he other
woman" get the upper hand of a
man who has been married for
Is years, it's safe to say that the
madness will burn itself out.
Drinking leads to unemployment.
and the "other woman" is seldom
interested when there is no pay
envelope coming in.
You must consider this vicious
circle very seriously before you
decide to break up your home
AS for the weekly sum promised.

cult for a deserted wife to

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
IT would like to give my friend,
for her birthday, monogrammed
playing cards. but 1 do not know
the proper initials to have put
on. Should 1 have the initials
of Mary Ellen Brown or Mrs.
John D. BROWNE"
IF the cards we're to be given
to a friend whose husband does
not play cards, what initials
would be used? F."
In either case whether the hus'
band does or does not play cards
the cards should be mono
grammed with the initials OF the
wife's informal name, as is proper
for all the other monogrammed
details and accessories of their
home, such as linens, silver, and
so forth.
Usually, for her informal name.
a wife uses the first and last
names of her maiden name and
the last name of her married
name. So Mary Ellen Smith, who
marries John Brown would use
the informal name Of Mary
Smith Brown.

Of the city with whom he has talk
ed since finding hhe piece OF beat,
that there was a shipment OF gold
out Of Mexico being made through
here In 1857. The gold was brought
IN from the Mexican mines on
mules, and was put In the river
boat TO be carried down TO ships
of the bar at the mouth Of the
Rio Grnnde.
According to the "old timers" II
was this boat which went down.
Al any rate the local man Is
asking that anyone wishing 90
dig for gold In hts potato patch, do
the digging in such a manner as
not TO ruin the land for cultivation.
Meanwhile there has been q mild
revival OF interest In the tradition
al Singer gold on Padre Island,
which vas whipped up 10 white
heat In 1880 when the lost city"
was found on that island BY local
men.
The mystery Of this city was ex-
planned In letters sent here by Alex
ander Singer, son Of John W. Sing
er. who was a brother OF Merritt
Singer, the man who invented the
Singer sewing machine.
Alexander Singer Is now living
In Central Texas.
IN l847 the Singer family in
GLIDING young Alexander. we're on
their way to South America when
their boat was wrecked off Padre
Island, and they went ashore there
and established a camp which was
TO be developed into a ranch from
which considerable cattle opera
tons were conducted.
just before they came 70 this
section, John W. Singer loaned his
brother. Merritt. $500 with which
to secure patents on his sewing
machine.
In 1860 Merritt Singer was al
ready a wealthy man. and he sent
$4,000 TO his brother, John, u

When the Civil War broke out
the Singers, because OF their Unior
sympathies. were advised to gel
off the island. They left In greal
haste, and for protection, buried

It is q huge shaft. with q great
