Proper Scalp
Vital
To Men
Simple Treatment
Should Improve
Bad Condition
Duncan Photo.
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The man who thinks that q dat
Of water or dust collecting hair TX
ative and . quick sticking down Il
all his scalp requires, is flirting with
premature badness. The hair on
q mans head demands the same
attention as . woman's, which in
cludes daily hair brushing, a correc-
tive tonic and pre-shampoo treat
ment.
If a mans hair is thinning rap
idly he should not resign himself
to badness, or excuse it because his
father became bald at young age!
Hair needs scalp stimulation which
regular brushing with good brushes
and finger massage give it. Most
badness is due to sluggish blood
streams and insufficient diets. Both
should be corrected.
You should choose q reliable hair
tonic for your particular condition
dry hair, oily, normal scalp, dand-
run or thinning hair. Apply it to
your scalp sparingly with = bit OF
cotton or shake the tonic on your
hair and then massage 1t into the
scalp with your fingers. While your
hair is damp with the tonic brush it
away from the scalp with two
brushes, until 1t stands on end. You
should brush for about five minutes
Wipe your brushes on . clean towel
at least twice during this period
to get rid Of the dust and dirt you
take from your hair. Comb your
hair in place and give it q few
smoothing strokes with your
brushes.
During your daily showers you
must wear rubber cap to protect
your hair. And refrain from get
ting q shampoo more frequently
than every two weeks.
Take time to get an oil treatment
before each shampoo, or If you pre-
fer, apply heated olive oil to your
scalp the night before and leave II
on the hair until your shampoo. Too
few men take the time to give their
scalps an oil treatment, but they
would be pleasantly surprised at the
results II they would do 10. And II
also pays to see that the shampoo
used on your hair is bland-it
should contain only . very small
percentage Of alcohol and alkal.
This simple treatment Is 20 e6ec-
tive that We confidently predict you
viii see scalp and hair improvement
in one month, and you will discover
that your hair is more easily man
aged.
Remember to brush every day! Do
not skip days. And do not imagine
that good brushes are q luxury. Good
brushes are q sound investment to
hair health and they will give you
long and satisfactory service. It is
commonly believed by scalp experts
that daily brushings is one Of the
best assurances against premature
badness. Another insurance Is

for the main Sunday meal. How
ever, If you don't choose ham for
dinner, do feature 1t on the break
fast menu!
I remember last year, scurrying
hither and yon across Europe on q
whirlwind tour, all the trains gave
us ham and eggs for breakfast
no matter what country we were in
at the moment. And, regardless Of
the language in which they appeared
on the menu, they were always the
dependable, tasty standby that has
become such a favorite Of the
American breakfaster. And Sunday
morning, when you've plenty of time,
is the ideal opportunity for produc-
ing the classic meal. Pan-broil the
slice Of ham, after cutting the edge
in several places to prevent curling.
Brown nicely on one side, turn and
brown the other. Allow 10 to 20
minutes for cooking, depending upon
the thickness of the ham, or the
type of ham you buy. The eggs are
cooked in the ham drippings for
added flavor.
Shad Are Getting
Bigger and Better.
But to return to our knitting
which is to report on lots Of other
things beside ham and European
trains! The fish markets are plen-
tifully stocked just now, with q
great variety of seafood at ridicu-
lousy low prices. Shad-the Wash
ington symbol of spring-is coming
IN bigger and better as the supply
moves farther north. The roe is
still somewhat small, but the fish
itself is firm and delicious. There
is some fresh salmon on the mar
ket, but of course it comes from
the West Coast, and is not the
Eastern variety. oysters are un-
usually low in price, and we should
make the most of them before their
season wanes. Especially during
Lent they may be featured in a
number of nourishing and tasty
dishes. There are bluefsh, trout,
red snapper, smelts, mackerel-al-
most any fish you can think of, to
be had very reasonably. And of
course the shellfish supply is ex-
eellent.
Fresh plump ducks from Long
Island are arriving, and mighty
good they are, too, for a change.
Poultry otherwise presents little or
no change, with the usual stewing
chickens, fryers and so on avail
able.

Dorothy Dix Says
Marrying for Money Alone Will
Only Cause Grief for Both

DEAR MISS DIX am %. A
man of 40, prominent, successful
and rich, has asked me to marry
him. I greatly respect and admire
him. but I do not love him. My
mother. who counts with me more
than anything else. Is not well and
has lost almost everything in the
stock market. I have a young sis
ter, talented and beautiful, who
would profit by the advantages
could give her If I marry this man
I begin to think that perhaps my
love for these two and making them
happy would make up to me for not
loving my husband. My mother
does not force me into anything, but
gently points out that I might learn
to love this man, who, I am sure.
would be good to me. If I do marry
him, shall I tell him beforehand
that I do not care for him as he
does for me and that I only feel
friendship for him? M. P.
Answer:
If you are going to marry for the
sole purpose Of securing q support
for your mother and sister it Is
certainly nothing but common hon.
esty to put your cards on the table
and let the man see the deal you are
handing him. That will at least
give him . chance to drop out Of
the game.
Not many men would marry If
they knew beforehand that their
wives were taking them on for the
benefit Of their families and re-
garded them solely as purveyors Of
comforts and luxuries for their
mothers and fathers, their sisters
and brothers. Nor would many
men be intrigued by the prospect
Of having their wives lavish their
hard-earned dollars on their people.
Yet many otherwise honorable
women feel no compunction of con-
science In marrying men for whom
they have no affection at all merely
to get their money to spend on their
families. They even consider they
are doing q noble thing in thus
sacrificing themselves for their fam
lilies. They never give q thought
to the poor man who is thus o0lng
doubly gypped because he Is being
defrauded Of the love he has q
right to expect from his wife and
also robbed by her Of his money.

OF course. the marriage Of con-
venience has its good points. Many
contend that it is sane and safe and
that respect and admiration last
longer than young love. Also they
point to the fact that in those
countries where marriages are based
on suitability rather than on feeling
that there are fewer divorces than
there are with US who marry for love.
Much Of which is no doubt true,
but the trouble Is that the heart is
an unruly member and refuses to
love where 1t Is its duty to. Every
young girl Is full Of romance and
dreams Of her Fairy Prince COM
ing by.
She keeps her fingers on her pulse
to note its thrills and flutters. Be
cause she knows she should be sat-
isfled with q nice, kind husband,
who is good to her and provides for
mother and sister, doesn't keep her
from feeling that she has missed the
best thing in life, nor yearning for
romance, nor for being on the LOOK
out for some young chap to come
riding down her street.
When he does come, then there
Is the mischief to pay all around.
Wherefore, I shouldn't advise any
young girl to sacrifice herself for
the sake Of her family, or to marry
to get money for them. Let them
hustle out and support themselves.
Besides, 1t Is . rotten trick to play
on the good man who loves you.
