Gloriting Yourself

 To counteract the drying effects on the hair of overdoses Of sunshine, try weekly hot oil treatments and begin right away to brush vigorously for at least ten minutes every night. In few weeks you'll be considering a new fall permanent, and you might as well realize that perma- nent waves are twice as satisfac- tory If hair Is in proper condi- ton. In other words, 1t ought to be shiny, healthy and free from dandruff.
 The night before you intend to shampoo. brush hair carefully. cover head with 0 thick towel which has been dripped In very hot water and wrung quite dry. This warns the scalp and makes 1t absorb oil more readily. Now part hair in sections and. using a tiny cotton pad, cover every inch of scalp with warm olive oil. If ends are dry and brittle, oil them too. Pin towel around your head and leave the oil on all night. Next day, shampoo in the usual manner.
 Persistent brushing will cure a mild case Of dandruff, and it tends to bring out the natural oils in the hair, of course. A bit Of massage helps, too. Simply place elbows on Q table, resting head in hands, then manipulate and gently pinch scalp. Be sure to move scalp - not fingertips. It's O good idea to massage in this man her after hot oil has been ap- piled.
 and be sure to rinse four or five times, preferably with 6 small hand spray. Gray-haired women who wish to make their gray locks snowy white can add c lit- tie bluing 10 the final rinsing wa ter. It is best, however, to con- suit . reputable hairdresser ne' fore atten S,ting this at home. After he has examined your scalp and hair, he can tell you exactly how much bluing to use.
 Incidentally. If the men in your family are bothered with dand- ruff or seem to be getting slight ly bald, do try to p'"Suade them to stop soaking their heads Ia water under the shower and wet ting their hair before each comb ing. Get them small black man" ish looking shower caps and ad- wise special scalp tonic instead oi water for the combing process. Furthermore, the tonic ought to be poured on. then massaged In briskly. Friction and nanipI!a- ton of the scalp will eliminate dry cuticle and white flakes of dandruff which often are scatter cd on their collars and shoulders.

 old Revolutionary mantel and fire place 8 simple change which alone gave character and beauty to the room. We found this mantel in the cellar--its holdings damaged and the shelf badly scared; but these defects were ineXpensively re. paired by the village carpenter. The brick facing was restored and new tiling added-both In deep oX- blood tone.
 Next we made a second window 10 left of fireplace and built in two simple corner cupboards to hold col- ored glass and faience. To provide a vista and also to balance the win dow In the opposite wall, the closet was broken through and a wide door made into the next room--originally the milk room" in the old farm. house. This space was fitted up as Q small bedroom with walls, carpet, chintz-covered daybed and dressing table repeating the colors used in the living room.
 Books as Pattern
 Finally, the wall opposite the fire- place was filled with plain carpen- ter-made bookshelveS to hold fine collection of books belonging to my client the many ny.colored bind- ings giving pattern and interest to that blank wall and a pleasant sense of livability to the room.
 Now we were ready for the color scheme and fabrics. For the floor a deep raisin- colored carpet was Se- lected. Walls, ceiling. woodwork. mantel, lamp standards and even lamp shades were all painted a de- licious shad, of chartreuse, which gve the room 0 feeling of space and clear sunlight by day and by night. At the windows we hung chartreuse chintz curtains patterned with white orchids and deep green leaves a perfect back drop for the Victor- ian furniture in It's old coverings of orchid brocade, which we did not change.
 Furniture Fits
 These old pleces-all of solid wal nut--included a graceful sofa, three arm chairs and q round Victorian table. With them we used-quite harmoniously-two small mahogany tables and c Victorian console with gilt mirror, as you see them placed on the new diagram. The finished room was completely charming proof of the decorators repeated claim that good furniture of any type, age or period Is both beautiful and up.to-date when 1t Is well ar- ranged and has Q suitable back ground.
 Here beauty waa very simply bought-for a small sum. The same principles of refurnishing could De applied to almost any home with equally good results.

TIME AND PATIENCE AND
 SOMETHING ELSE

A press article endorsed by the Iowa state department of health and prepared by the Iowa State Medical society says the great American complaint, constipation, may be overcome, but 1t requires time and patience to do so, Ninety per cent of the cases, says the bul- letin, are due to irregular habits of elimination, plus improper diet.
 Come, now, fellows, where do you get that elimination" trick2 Certainly not from Noah Webster. Why not give elementary phySi- ology @ break? If the Iowa papers will let you say constipation they will hardly boggle at evacuation. One of the first lessons to learn in this base trade of educating the public Is to say what you mean. If you are prudish about 1t you will only add to popular confusion.
 In the ninety per cent of cases I'd put 1t nearer to ninety eight per ient-where constipation is lust bad habit, 1t requires time and pa- tience and something else to over- come the bad habit.
 The time element may be set down as five days in the average case. The patience part doesn't matter much If you have the other two essential factors well in hand. Indispensable for success in the battle is sufficient knowledge of physiology to offset or counteract the i'll effect of all the misinforma- ton you have accumulated from years of research in almanacs. tes- tiinonials and the lore of folk as untutored in the way the body works. Impossible to teach that lesson in a paragraph or Q letter, but c good many readers testify that they have learned 1t from the booklet "The Constipation Habit" learned 1t so well that they are now free from the habit.
 The fourth factor of success in breaking the physic or enema habit is intestinal vigor. That is what the victim of constipation lacks, whether the constipation is of the hypo- tonic or spastic type. One way to recover intestinal vigor is by rec storing natural foods, unrefined foods, to the diet. An earnest en- deavor in that direction should be made in every instance. But mod ern ways and customs make 1t extremely difiicult to carry on this endeavor. There is e great con- spiracy against you from first to last. Another way to recover inc testinal vigor Is by supplementine the best diet you can achieve with 6 daily ration of the vitamins in which modern refined foods are most deficient - namely, vitamiiis B, D and c. Decide first on the form in which you will take your optimal vitamin ration--there are various preparations available, you pays your money and takes your choice-a1d begin taking the VI. tamins--a week or two before you throw physic to the dogs. Then keep on eating vitamins Of get back to undenaturized food, which, ever you find easier to do.
 It takes time and patience, per- haps, to learn a little physiology

 Most authorities arc now con- vinced that at least one-half of the children in the large cities of the United States and Great Britain have some symptoms of rickets. AL most everyone now knows that this disease is definitely related to an absence of ultraviolet rays in the human body.
 RicketS suddenly appeared, or at least appeared with such frequency at first to be noticed In the i7th century. RicketS was exceedingly infrequent until after the discovery of window glass, which does not per- init the ultraviolet rays Of the sun to pass.
 The disease became fairly frequent among children who were housed without benefit Of sunshine. Today. in most of the large cities Of the world, enough sunshine comes through only for two hours in the day three months of the year to be of any real value in preventing Tickets.
 BecauSe it is 90 linked with ab- vence of sunshine, ricketS begins to Increase in the fall becomes worse in the winter and reaches It's peak ln March. Then the condition stead- fly declines in frequency and sever Ity, and new cases rarely develop after June until the fall. The Italian and colored babies in the large cities seem more frequently to be affected by this disease.
 Until 1t was definitely determined that sunlight was the important factor, rickets generally was aScrib- cd simply to bad hygiene.
 Now we know that sunshine, rather than fresh air, exercise, cleanliness Of any similar factor, iA most important.
 Moreover, we have learned that 1t is possible to substitute for the sunshine by directly giving the child tho necessary vitaniin which fails to develop in It's body in the ab- gence of sunshine.
 This substance is developed when the sun acts on the ergosterol in khe skin.
