Hair irGreatlv
Influenced
ByDiet
Foods Containing
Minerals Fine
For Growth
By Patricia Lindsay

Many of us are prone to think
of hair as something separate and
detached from the body, needing
care like an article of clothing.
This is a mistake, for hair is made
of growing, living tissue and its
health depends primarily upon nour-
ishment from the blood stream.
Certain specific vitamlnS, such as
vitamin B complex of which one
hears, and the functlonlng OF cer-
tain secretory glands, largely de-
termlne the character OF the hair.
For example, it Is explained to us.
a person with the slow, depressed
metabollsm which accompanies a
thyroid lnsufhclenCy is likely TO have
very thin, fine hair Other types
of glandular disturbance may cause
an abnormal thick growth.
So because the hair is influenced
by the glands and the glands are
so markedly affected by diet, diet
can determine the state OF health
OF ones hair.
An interesting experiment was
carried out by DR.. Foran OF Carls-
bad who noticed that some Of his
dogs ton which ne was expert
mentingl were losing their hair
steadily. Their food consisted of
starches and proteins. He ordered
their diet to be changed and include
potato peelings, apple peelings and
cucumber peelings-all rich in min
erals. Within three weeks the hair
growth of the dogs became no.
tlceably better
And it is said that the people of
ireland eat quantities of sea lettuce.
sea moss and other sea green's
which is partly responsible for the
thick, healthy black hair of that
nation Such foods are rich in
iodine-in fact they are the richest
of iodine foods. Fish foods, cod
liver oil and pineapple have a fair
amount of iodine, as do artichokes
and garlic.
Silicon and sulphur foods also
help to nourlSh hair, so see that
some of the following are included
in your menus. Whole barley, steel
cut oats. wild rice. beechnuts,
strawberries, hOrseradish, cucum-
bers, asparagus, whole wheat, figs,
cabbage, lettuce, spinach, onions,
caulifiOwer, carrots, apples, turnipS.
Remember proper diet assures the
inherent health of your hair
Men and women profit by sensible
local care of their hair. Brushing
100 strokes a day is a splendid rule
and do keep the brush and comb
clean. When shampooing, use a
bland, non-alkaH soap. Rinse we'll.
Egg or lemon rinses serve TO en-
hance the sheen Of the hair Castor
oil rubbed into the scalp once a week
Tor the night before a shampoo
helps to stimulate hair growth and
soften dead cuticle which should be
removed from the scalp. When
shoWering, a protective rubber cap
should be worn, and this rule applies
to men as well as to women!

But Elsa s mother thinks she will
miss one of the great experiences
life offers to young people if she
doesn't attend college. She says that
even going for just a year is "a
finishing process. and builds char
aCter and adds social assets" She
also claims that college girls marry
better and make better wives, than
do less educated girls.
Now. let's take a look at those
arguments. Perhaps there are Ger
tain social advantages which go with
college diploma, but we doubt that
one year, during which Elsa was
none too well off financially, would
give her very much in a social way.
The year might be valuable in
making acquaintanceS which would
lead to a desirable marriage. How
ever, since she is 10, most of the
boys Elsa would meet would be
younger than those she would ordi-
narily go with. Furthermore, most
of them won't be marrying for sew
tI dl NCdI S-dl4u Sic "OIl Dt al OGllO
then.
We are extremely skeptical of the
argument that college girls, because
of their education, make better wives
than do college girls of similar
background and home training.
In any comparison between college
graduates and non-college gradu-
ates, YOU must always remember
that it's usually the brightest young
people, with good intellectual and
economic backgrounds, who get to
college Because of this background
and this native ability, they'd prob
ably make out better than less
fortunate young people. even if they
never set foot on campus.
And as for being a good wife, we
are very sure that early home train
ing is far more important than the
studies that lead to an A. B. degree.
Furthermore. the practical things a
girl learns while working and earn
ing money are apt to be more valu-
able to her as a housewife than a
knowledge of Elizabethan drama or
theoretical economics.
AS for getting a husband, woman
Evening star., 1941-10-02

college graduates as a class have
far more than their share of spin
sters. The reason is simple: A girl
with a college degree seldom wants
to marry man with less education
than she has, and this strictly limits
her choice.
Regarding the building of char
acter, a young persons character is
pretty we'll formed by the time COL
lege is reached. OF course. every
experience has some effect on char
acter, but We doubt that college
offers any particular benefits that
cannot be obtained outside.
Altogether We don't think that
the arguments advanced by Elsa s
mother carry much weight II Elsa
wanted to go to college. the situa-
ton would be entirely different. But
feeling as she does, we don't believe
she'd get enough out OF it to justify
the effort and expense. Mental at
tltude means a lot in benefitting
from any experience.

poets of this question some time
ago in column called SHOULD
i Go TO College," Any reader

Stupidity Is Catching, So Endeavor
To Sidestep 1t When MARRYING

"Is stupidity catchlng?" a woman
asked the other day, and then she
went on to say: Last night I had
for a dinner partner a man whom
I hadn't seen for five years. and as
we sat down l congratulated myself
on my luck, for he used to be one
Of the most agreeable and enter
tanning and amusing people I knew.
He was sympathetic and under
standing, interested in everything,
quick to catch what you were say
ing. and you could keep the con-
VerSatiOnal ball spinning with him
But he married a nitWlt of a girl
who never had two ideas to rub

has got just as dull as she is There
isn't a WiSecrack left in him and
he IS just about a scintillating as
Kitchen pan. He doesn't read any,
thing any more except the financial
papers. He doesn't know anything
that IS going on in the world except
what's happened in Wall Street. He
isn't interested in anything except
his business. He has got TO be a
perfect example of the tired busi-
neSSman who makes anybody who
has to listen to him still more tired.
And I can't think what makes him
such bore unless ne caught it from
his wife"
There is an old tradition that
married people who live together for
a long time get to look alike, l
commented. L don't know whether
there IS any truth in the theory
or not, but I can see how it would
be a lot easier for a husband and
wife to acquire 2 mental resem-

IT'S queer went on my friend
