@. How may I care for my hair
so that 1t will be soft, lustrous,
ana clean? ta@
A. In addition to a balanced diet,
plenty Of rest, fresh air, sunshine.
exercise, and regular elimination
one should have a daily scalp mas
sage and hair brushing, and sham
poo as often as needed. Massaging
may be done at any time during
the day and takes only few min
utes. With a rotary motion Of the
finger tips massage the scalp enough
to make the scalp move. For best
results, the hair should be brushed
several times each day. Separate
the hair into strands and brush
each section vigorously upward and
outward from the nape Of the neck
from the forehead, from the ears,
to the crown Of the head. For
washing the hair, make soap solu-
ton by melting alkai-free soap. Wet
the hair with warm, soft water.
Work up good lather and apply 1t
all over the hair, even to the tip
ends. Then with a scalp brush,
scrub the scalp with the soap solu-
ton. Rinse with warm water and
repeat the washing and rinsing I'M
til the hair and scalp are clean
and the soap has completely dis
appeared. A few drops of oil in the
last rinsing water is good for dry
hair; cinegar or lemon juice may
be used as a rinse before the last
rinse in clear water. Wrap the
head in a towel to get out the ex-
cess moisture and give the scalp O
good massage. Too rapid drying is
harmful for the hair and scalp.
@. I have been told that by diet
is deficient in vitamin &c" and that
I should eat sweet peppers. In
addition to stuffing peppers how
else may they be prepared?
A. Peppers may be diced and
boiled in very little water until ten
der and served with buttered corn,
carrots, or string beans. They NAV
be added to pan Of fried, sliced
tomatoes until slightly Drowned.
Raw peppers may be finely chopped
with raw cabbage and seasoned with
or sour cream, with
sugar and salt to taste.

THE INDISPENSABLE,
CARBOHYDRATES

Even now that almost every one
can read and some can think, the
equanimity of OF Doc Brady, par
ticularly on rainy days when he
can't. bowl, is constantly. disturbed
by wiseacres who tell him they can't
take any sugars or starches.
"All right, then" I am tempted
to accede, exclude such food from
your diet and maybe this will be a
pleasanter world for the rest of US
to enjoy" &
Sugars and starches, called car
bohydrates, are Of course the chief
sources Of food for man. From such
material man should and must get
quired daily to provide heat and
energy.
The fourteen to twenty ounces of
carbohydrate ingested by the aver
age adult daily (starches in vege-
tables, cereals and man''fa"turecl
products thereof, sugars In fruits,
honey, syrllpS, milk, sorghum, pee.,
cane sugars are converted by di-
gestion into glucose or dextrose

stored as animal starch or ely
cogen in the liver Il to 4 percent)
in the muscles COS percent) and
about a rounded teaspoonful is dis
solved In the blood COL to OILS per
cent?. If at any time or from any
cause the quantity Of this sugar
in the blood falls below certain
minimum (0.045 per cent? grave
pathological symptoms occur and If
the sugar level Is not Immediately
restored death may follow.
The. total. supply of, sugar ((gly-
cogen) in the body at any time is not
large = a teaspoonful In the blood,
perhaps two tablesponfuls in the
liver and two tablespoonfills In the
muscles - but it must be always
maintained. If 1t Is lacking the
body converts protein (nitrogenous
materially from its own tissues and
possibly also fats from its own
stores, or such materials from the
food available, into glycogen.
Any excess Of carbohydrate taken
as food. beyond the capacity Of the
liver and muscles and blood to
store as glycogen, may be converted
into fat. Such fat stored in the
body Is Of more solid consistency
than fat derived directly from oils
or fats In food.
When the amount Of sugar in the
blood falls below the normal level
more or less distress occurs imrne-
diately. In earlier talks we de-
scribed the symptoms Of such spells
-hypoglycemia. Whether the fall
In blood sugar Is produced by in
Sulin as in cases Of diabetes (in-
sulin shock) where the patient fails
to take food after the dose of in
sulin or at the same time, or
whether the condition occurs in. one
who has no diabetes and takes no
i1sulin, the emergency remedy Is
always food, any kind Of food, pre-
ferably carbohydrate, even though
the victim does not know he Is
hungry.
In every instance hypoglycemia
has an underlying cause. It does
not just happen. In. some cases
where the spells are severe and re-
current a lesion Of the pancreas Is
found to be the cause, and some
times thi smust be treated surgic-
ally.
Specializing idly upon the prob
lem I have q queer notion that nu-
tritional deficiency incident to so
much monkeying with our food
nowadays has q bearing on the APP
parently increasing frequency Of
fypoglycemia, and IN later talks

New York-Woman's place is IN
politicS-according to Mrs. Robert
A. Taft, wife OF the Ohio senator
who has announced his candidacy
for the Republican presidential nom
ination.
Gas political workers, women really
shine" explains the brown-eyed,
hrown-haired, pleasantly plump Mrs.
Taft, who has been active in politics
since 1896 and who is, at the moment
making campaign speeches for her
husband.
"They seem to be able to sub
ordinate their personal ambitions in
favor of their political parties. They
always are willing to do the neces-
sary, but hardly soul-satisfying, jobs
which must be attended to In any
campaign"
Mrs. Taft thinks that now, more
than ever, it Is important for women
to muster time and energy to help
open doors to business opportunities
through which today's children may
enter tomorrow.
CALLS YOUTH CONGRESS
A PRESSURE GROUP"
The pleasant, quite articulate Mrs.
Taft Is particularly concerned with
the problems of youth. But not with
the widely publicized American
Youth Congress, which she considers
to be O pressure group" rather than
q group representative Of the youth
Of the country.
"Rural America is not, 80 far as
I can tell, represented in the Ameri-
can Youth Congress" says Mrs.
Taft. Therefore, feel sure that the
organization does not represent a
fair cross-section Of the young peo-
pie Of this country.
