Soap and Brush Called
Best Aid to Hair BeautY.

Neither your scalp nor your hair
can breath. Your hair contains no
vital sap which can be sealed in by
singing the ends and it is not living
structure growing out of the skin as a
stalk of wheat grows from the earth.
These observations are made in a
bulletin issued today by the Minnesota
State Medical Associations Committee
on Public Health Education in response
to frequent questions on care of the
hair, generally, and on the effect of
summer sun on hair.
Like fingernailS and toe nails, the
hair is simply a projection of the hor-
ny layer of the skin itself, according to
the bulletin. For very short distance
above papilloma in the skin from which
it grows, it is living tissue. Beyond
that it is hfeless and nothing that is
! done to the end will effect it's growth
in any way
There are about $4,000 hairs on the
red head, about 100000 on the blonde
and about 100000 on the brunette"
the bulletin says. Normally each of
these hairs has a cycle of about six
months to four years after which it is
detached and replaced by new hairs
from the same papilloma. The normal
cycle may be interrupted by illness or
by neglect; but moderate amount of
shedding, particularly in spring and
summer, should cause no alarm"
The best treatment for the hair is
through washing with good soap fire.
quently enough to keep it clean, ac-
cording to the best advice of the doc
tors. Regular brushing and massage
stimulates the oil glands in the scalp
and distributes the oil on the hair, thus
helping to keep the scalp healthy and
the hair soft and Skinny. Ordinary
sunshine does no harm and may be
beneficial though outdoor exposure may
require more washing than usual.
Nobody knows what causes ordinary
badness, the doctors declare. The best
guess is that heredity and some phase
of glandular function are at the bottom
of it. Good regular care will postpone
it, however, according to the bulletin;
but no treatment yet devised will grow
hair again when badness has once
appeared.

In an interview with A. j. Erchul,
executive secretary of the st. Louis
County welfare board of Duluth, MI.

Mr.. Erchul stated that the county
agency shall require recipient, as
a prerequisite to receiving old age as
sistance to sell all his real property
situated without the state, having Que
regard to the nature and marketablhty
of the property, and to use the proceeds
for his support.
The next section of the law as passed
and which has been the occasion OF
much comment in the newspapers ano
wherever two or more persons have
discussed the measure is to the etfec
that no person shall be paid old agt
assistance without first giving the STATE
lien on all his property situated
within the state.
It further states that the tota
amount of old age assistance paid
recipient, including burial expenses
but without interest, shall be a hel
in favor of the state upon all real prop
erty belonging to such recipient.
The law further provides that any
recipient who has heretofore trans
ferred or who hereafter transfers, o
dispoSes of his property in order t.
avoid the application of this section

age assistance.
At later date, the st. Louis Count

Dog Carries Off
Mans False Teeth.

Lake Wilson-One Lake Wilson man
has very low opinion of the dogs in
Fulda. This man was eating supper in
a Fulda cafe recently and had ordered
steak. His dentures were not working
100 per cent, or perhaps the steak was
extra tough. Anyway, he took his teeth
out and placed them on his lap while
he proceeded to masticate the steak
Just about that time a bull dog came
along, made a grab for the teeth, got
them, and started for the door. The
owner of the teeth saw him just in the
nick of time, ran down the dog and re-
covered his choppers. But it was a
narrow escape.

Mamma Cats Nurse
Seven Baby Foxes

Winnebago-Cats may be dumb when
it comes to discerning between fox and
kittens but they lack nothing in the
maternal instinct. Out on the Bert
Derby farm two mamma cats for two
weeks mothered seven baby foxes and
cared for them as though he little mites
were their own progeny. The cats had
lost their kittens and were glad to
shelter and mother the little foxes
Mr.. Derby has been unable to locate
the mother fox, but the little ones don't
seem to know the difference and rather
enjoy the arrangement. Mr.. Derby is
selling the litter to the local foz
breeder who will ship them east to 6
hunters club.
