Best Remedy for Hair
Is Absolute Cleanliness

put another seed in, there is moth
ing doing.
Unfortunately we have no seeds
for hair.
Now as to our real hair reme-
dies, cleanliness is, of course, es-
sential. There are several germs
and vegetable parasites which at
tack the scalp, and these can al
most always be prevented by
cleanliness. A good ordinary soap
or a liquid shampoo, the palmer
the better, applied with a scrub
brush once every ten days, is as
good as anything. In fact, better
than nearly anything. Soap, as
has been shown, has high germi-
cidal properties. When dandruff is
present this may have to be done
oftener.
Keep Brush Sterile
Distinction is mostly a matter
Of precaution about keeping brush
and comb clean and sterile. They
should be washed and dried in the
sun regularly, soaking in formalin,
a teaspoonful to a pint of water, is
a good antiseptic.
Such diseases Of the scalp as
favus are usually caught from US
ing the brush or comb Of someone
who has the disease, or from d.
rect contact of head to head.
fabrication is unnecessary on a
normal scalp, but if there is too
much dryness, olive oil or sesame
oil will be advisable. Sesame oil
has less tendency to clog or dry
and MAJ.
Stimulation is best done by a
's"ds:i with widely spaced tufts of
Uneven trim.
All authorities agree that brush
ing the hair is beneficial and Of
great Importance. DR.. w. A. Pusey
says: ut cleans, makes the hair
smooth and glossy, stimulates the
scalp. It either stimulates the Sc
baceous glands of the scalp or dis
tributes through the hair the fat
of these glands and thus prevents
lack of lustre from dfyness of the
hair. Finally, it furnishes valuable
mechanical stimulation of the scalp
as whole"

IT'S TRUE

Women throughout England agitat-
ed for a law against coffee, in 1874
They claimed it made their husbands
sterile and stunted.
Romans staged pugilistic bouts as
part of the festivities at funerals of
notable men.
Animals used to be tried for crimes
in courts throughout Europe. In TIA,
in Basic, rooster which laid an egg
was tried found guilty of witchcraft
and executed!
One Papin, an Englishman, built a
steamboat in 1699 but was forced to
destroy it by jealous river boatmen
who saw the trial trips and foresaw
doom of their jobs.

indirectly responsible The rat that is
most prevalent in North Carolina. the
Norway or wharf rat, is said by scien-
lists to be the most destructive ami
NAL in the world. Mr. Lay, who is as
ISOLATED with the U. S. Biological Sur
vey, having headquarters for rodent
control at N. c. State College, at pre-
sent proposes to show in other ar
ticles he will write for the Health Bull
letin, just how dangerous rats are to
the human race through spreading
diseases, pOlluting water sources and
food, and by carrying certain fleas
and ticks which transmit dread dis
eases.
1t is well known, he said, that rats
by their very nature carry filth and
disease germs on their bodies, in their
mouths and on their teeth, but for
tunately rats do not. bite human be
ings often and so do not transmit dis
ease from person to person or from
animal to person to any great extent
Their chief means of spreading dis
ease, he says, is by communicating the
food and water supplies by direct con-
tact with their filthy bodies.
AS a means of controlling rats and
keeping down filth and infectious dis
eases, Mr.. Lay says, better sanitary
laws, more frequent collection of gar
bage, the use of tight garbage con-
tainers, the disposal of garbage and
trash regularly in modern incinera-
tors, and strictly enforced health laws
of many types will all serve to de-
crease the number of rats in the COM
munity. Where homes, yards, cellars
and outhouses are cleaned up and
kept clean, and where food of all
kinds is kept in rat-proof containers
there will be few rats and little dan
ger of diseases carried by rats.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Aug. IL, 1794-James Barton Long
acre was born in Delaware County,
Pa. A century ago this year he won
the governments $1,000 prize for the
Indian Head" one-cent coin. which
has gone into more pockets, stores,
banks, schools and churches than
any other coin in the United States,
if not the world.
The Indian head wasn't that of an
Indian! The model was Sarah Long
acre, his 10-year-old daughter, wear
ing chiefs war bonnet.
For years thereafter, Longacre de-
signed all the coins of the United
States and Chile.
Aug. II, 1865-The Indiana supreme
court handed down an opinion which
anticipated the famous gold contracts
decision of the U. S. supreme court
by SO years! Justice James Frazer,
ruling on the appeal of the case of
CHezekiah) Brown VS.. Welch ed
war0, said: 9zxE
1t belongs to every independ-
ent state to declare by law what
shall be deemed money, in the bust
ness transactions of it's citizens, and
to regulate the value thereof, and to
determine is form.
In making treasury notes, equ-
ally with gold coins, a legal tender,
Congress has for the purpose of pay
ment made them equivalent of each
other. 1t follows, inevitably, that
debt which may be paid with a given
number of sold dollars, may also be
paid with exactly the same number
of dollars in treasury notes. And in
as much as the parties have, by the
contract under consideration, fixed
the amount of the debt payable, in
gold, it results that the same sum in
greenbacks' will pay it 80"

Dixie and Bing has always pre-
ferred to eat with the three kids

At last, however, they got the
idea of how to christen the room.
They asked Brother Larry and
his two youngsters over and the
whole crowd played hide.and-seek
among the chairs and draperieS.

stately treading buffers.

the story of seduction. Marie, a
poor but attractive servant girl, on
a summer night listens to the soft
Establishments of a casual &C.

gum drops and, one presumes,
honeyed words.
When there are consequences,
Marie is discharged and roams the

given a chance in Budapest sport
ing house, where her baby is born.
Marie is happy for a while until
the welfare authorities decide her
environment is not the proper one
for the child, and, by court order,
take possession of the infant.
Again Marie is forced to wander,
turned away from useful employ
ment, branded in the village as a
scarlet woman. Seeking refuge
at the altar of the Madonna she
is overcome by weakness, falls
and dies on the floor Of the
church.
