Waving Straight, Oily Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: I have very to wash every week. When I wave it or have it marcelled the wave stays in only a few hours. What would you advise and what kind of shampoo should I use? Would a finger wave last longer than a marcel? | MISS JANET F. | Answer—1f you have a good marcel wave put in your hair it should last about one week. Of course, your type of hair cannot be finger waved as suc- cessfully as some types of hair. It would probably stay in as long as your marcel wave, however. A permanent wave might be the solution to your | beauty problem. Shampoo your hair | with tincture of green soap, which con- | tains & small percentage of alcohol | that is helpful for excessively oily hair. | Two or three times a week remove the excess oil with an astringent hair tonic. Give your hair and scalp an air and sun bath daily. Build up your health in general by wise diet. Excessively oily hair will respond to correct treatment.

Sinus Trouble. “Dear Doctor: Ever since I can re- member I have been affected with a most unpleasant breath. I believe it is an infection of the sinuses. I am & girl, only 19, and terribly unhappy and miserable. I do not have the financial means to consult specialsts and undergo an operation. Do you think I shall outgrow this eventually? J.” No, J., if it is sinus trouble, you prol ably will not outgrow it. But do; despair, dear girl; it can be cured. The nasal sinuses are air cavities which cbmmunicate with the nose. The frontal sinuses are under the eyebrows; the maxillary sinuses are in the cheek- bones. There are others in the bones in the center of the rear part of the nose These are all lined with mucous membrane similar to that of the nose. If they become infected they are very difficuit to cure up because the drain- age is so poor. That is the reason surgical drainage has to be made. As the extra secretion from the infection accumulates it decomposes and is a very potent cause of halitosis. The ultra-violet ray treatment has proved very successful in many cases; perhaps it may have to be coupled with surgical drainage. You should have medical attention, J. If you can't afford to go to a specialist for treatment, go to a clinic. Sinus infection evidently is your diagnosis. It may not be a correct one. It is possible you have a polypus which is damming up secretions. This is easily removed. Then there are other causes for bad breath, such an infected teeth and tonsils, indigestion and lung | diseases. (The strong odor of onions | or garlic on the breath after eating | them does not come up from the | stomach; their volatile principles are | absorbed by the blood and are given | up in the lungs, so the odor is in the | exhaled air.) A heavily coated tongue may also give a bad breath. (This may | be due to several things, such as con- stipation or indigestion; at times to mouth_breathing, or simply to lack of cleanliness of the tongue.) The tongue should be gently scraped | clean, once a day, at least, when the | teeth are washed, with a piece of whale- bone or & tongue scraper, (You can | get_these at the drug store.) Now cheer up, J. Get some competent medical attention. And think of this | little doggerel: “From the time you are | born until you ride in a hearse, there's | nothing ever happens that couldn’t be | worse.” Mrs. W. asks the following questions: | _“Why is pie so fattening? And ar | fruit dumplings made with flour and | milk as fattening?” Answer—Pie is so fattening because ‘there is so much fat used in the pie | crust. The dumplings wouldn't be so much so, as there is much less fat used {in them. | “When on a 1,200 C. diet, may one divide are calories unevenly on various days—more than 1,200 one day and less on another?” Answer—Yes. So long as your average number of calories for the week does not exceed the reducing number, Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Empty Pockets and Heads. About two years ago a professional woman came to us for advice. She was thinking of purchasing a house. Could we advise her whether it was sane_to do so. We could, and we did. It Was anything but sane, and we ,demon- strated to her the fact that she could never carry the house. |e The mortgage payments, taxes and MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Cure for Dawdling. One mother says: “My boy was a slow poke. Every morning used to be a trial as I urged the little fellow through his breakfast, bath and dressing. collected his books | and fairly pushed him out of the door, that he might be in time for school: ‘Then I realized that I was bearing a responsibility that belonged to the child. Next morning I let him dawdle. Of course, he was late for school, but the ignominy of his teacher's discipline, plus the disapproval of his classmates, turned the trick. Rather than suffer disgrace again, he performs his duties with dis- patch and is off on time.” other expenses far exceeded her yearly income, and their aggregate amount tune. The obvious result followed. She is faced with foreclosure, and a total of eight or nine thousand dollars she sunk in the house is apparently lost. ‘This morning, early if not bright, she ame to us again. She showed us her bank book, which records a total bal- ance of 400-odd dollars, and insisted that we must save her. If we couldn't save her when her pockets were full, what can we do now that they are empty? The time to save one's money is when one has it, not after it is lost. If one 1is fooilsh or short-sighted enough to get into water over one’s head, it is logical to expect that one will try to swim ashore. Often the logical step is never taken. The above woman, for instance, never took that step. She declined offers for her house, be;‘:luse she expected more for her sac- rifices. Now she knows that real estate buy- ers buy property without counting in the sacrifices. Now every potential buyer also knows thather house will be foreclosed shortly, and it may be bought at his own price. We classify this sort of thing as folly, not failure. Any woman may fail, and it is no disgrace and should be no dis- couragement. Most successful business and professional women have met with ?l\\orsn than one failure cn their way to e top. Folly is something else. It is an utter deflance of the dictates of reason. 1t is going against better judgment and ignoring the obvious results of a mis- step. What can we tell the woman above? ‘To live within her means, to build up what she has squandered, to remember only the lesson of her experience and not the loss and to begin anew. Some- how we think that given her money again she would do it all over again. ‘Women are sometimes that way, yield- ing to obstinate desire and blind hope. As a woman and an economist we can only regret that this woman, and many more like her, did not apply her determination and will where it might have proved productive. After all, her money represented the efforts of many hard years. READY FOR THE CHILLY DAYS?
