Will you please tell me how to shampoo my hair and how often I should do it. Miss P, Answer. 1. Dandruff is very often an indi- cation that the scalp does not get enough massage and brushing. Lack of this care may lso be the reason your hair grows so slowly. Another thing you must consider also is your general Bathe scalp with boric acid health, If you are in a run-down condi- ;xfl;w_n this is certain to be evident in your ir, The following is an effective treat- ment for dandruff: Twice a week bathe the sealp in boric-acid solution, which is a mild antiseptic. Dry the hair by rubbing it between warmed towels, then Tub the following ointment into the scalp: dram boric acid, three ounces vaseline, ten minims oil of cinnamon, drops oil of bergamot. To make the salve first mix the salicylic acid and the boric acid together with a little vaseline. Blend the remainder of the vaseline with the other ingredients and stir the two mixtures together. Massage the scalp for ten minutes. If desired, the hair may be washed the following morning and the salve applied again at night. This treatment should be used for at least two weeks and at the end of that time the salve may be applied every other week just before the regular shampoo. 2. The average head of hair should be shampooed every two weeks or ten days. Pure castile soap melted into a liquid is an ideal cleanser. If your hair is inclined to be oily, pine is very good, or for this type of hair one may use tincture of green soap. For hair that is dry and brittle a tar liquid shampoo will prove to be both a clean- ting corrective. ing the hair wet it first and then apply the liquid shampoo to the scalp. Massage the lather well into the scalp and hair. Rinse well and apply the liquid again; it should be ap- plied at least two or three times until the hair is thoroughly clean. Next in rder is careful 3. I am 16 years old and I weigh 125 | pounds. Am 5 feet tall. Is my weight correct? ALICE 8. D: Answer. 1. Cleansing the face with warm water and soap once a day, and that in the evening, is usually sufficient. If cleansed too often in this way, the skin has a tendency to become dry and rough. Use | tepid water and mild soap and rinse, with cold water. Many find the cold cream tissue squares excellent for cleansing during the day. 2. Hair which has been given a per- | manent wave should be shampooed just | as ly a8 hair which has been left natural. If it has a tendency to be dry Half dram salicylic acid, one | twenty | and brittle, use as a final rinse one tablespoonful of olive oil or mimeral oil in one pint of warm water. 3. The average 16-year-old girl who is 5 feet tall weighs from 102 to 110 pounds. But weights vary greatly in | young girls, as many have heavier mus- cles or bones than others, and also | many are more developed at 16 than others. At your age it is far better to be a little overweight than one bit underweight, so I would not let a few extra pounds worry me any. See that you get plenty of exercise out of doors and also eat your ddli;y T‘\‘xspply of fresh | green etables and fruits. e - LOIS LEEDS. Dee—Try this _above treatment for | your dandrufl.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. They Do Say. * Out of the mouths and from the'pens of anthropologists come strange, not to say disconcerting, stories about mere | human beings. According to the dictionary an a thropologist is “a student of or special- ist in the science of anthropology. This, of course, means nothing until we know what anthropology is. The same dictionary says that anthropology is “the sclence of man in general.” Even this needs interpretation. So we shall | say that anthropology is the biography | of the human race; and an anthro- | pologist is the one who finds out what | that biography is. In ohter words, he is a race genealogist. | And what do they, the anthropologists, | say? | 1. That Central Asia is the cradle of | the human race_ (T{fla is disputed by “horo saplens” (man of wisdom) has been on the earth 12 to 15 million years. (This is disputed by some_ant] logists—very much 80.) 3. That at least four distinct races of men appeared and disappeared on the earth before any one began to keep a record of human events. (There Is some dispute here.) 4. That the chimpanzee behaves very much like a human being. (Not much dispute here.) 5. That the average human being doesn’t use more than half his brain power. (How can any one dispute this?) 6. That, in general, one's mental fl:wem correspond to the size of one's it band. (Some dispute here.) 7. That the secret to the destiny of | the human race is to be figured out in | terms of the development of the frontal lobe of the brain. (I suppose 0.) Get these seven propositions straight, | and you will be something of an an- | thropologist. (Copyright, 1930.) MENU FOR A DAY. Cheese and Spinach Timbales. Baked Potatoes. ‘Whole Wheat B'rre.d.

C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY dulia Boyd Sketches Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. “Please write about how to take care of baby’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth,” suggests a reader and, fearful of slight- ing baby, we intend to stretch that or- der to ncompass the whole of him. The baby’s bath is a daily duty. It must be done some time in the day, no matter what the temperature and quite irrespective of sickness or colds. These are additional reasons for keeping baby's body clean and not excuses for foregoing bathing. Unless the bath is accomplished quickly baby grows irritable and tired, and a cross baby adds nothing whatever to mother’s appreciation of this duty. We can't blame them much, poor mites, for heavy-handed females pulling and twisting at their arms, turning them over on their backs when they are eager to bé on their stomachs, dropping them into hot water and letting soap drip into their eyes are irritants not con- n. is is an easy way for all concerned.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Goodby Toast and Coffee. The Karell regimen has made me some powerful enemies and I like to think these are mostly undertakers. The bread and milk club appears to have lengthened our free list—that is, thcre are a lot of members who seem to think that if they admit they're ben- efited by membership I will be so de- make a long-distance of a hypothetical case they're interested in. llnmpm we'll have to repeat the diet ere. mmtm regimen (food items ang es) : Breakfast—Glass of orange juice, 100; two eggs, 166; fresh fruit, 80; glass of milk, 160. Luncheon—One-third head of lettuce, 16; one tablespoonful of oil, 93; two fresh vegetables, 80; one pat of butter, 95; one pint of milk, 332; fresh fruit,80. Dinner—Meat 190; one-third head lettuce, 16; tablespoonful of eil, 93; two bles, 80; pat of butter, 95; glass of milk, 160; fresh fruif 5 cheese, 91; handful of nuts, 140. Any one who carries in his pocket an adding machine can readily com- pute the number of ealories in this diet. Breakfast yields 506, luncheon 696 and when that third assortment, which one might regard as hors d'ouevre, is all lighted that I'll prescribe for ‘em or | cleaned up one has an additional 945 . calories, all of which, a few gentle urg=- ings upon the machine will tell us, makes a grand total of 2,147 calories,"” and now, believe it or not, if you're an the Langstroth regimen you are ly to call it a day and go right back to Anyway, there's food for thought in regimen, and now that you are hors de combat from your hors d'ouevre, let me point out some of the features which make the protective regimen commendable for diet and reduction- crazed people. In the first place it consists mainly of protective foods, the meat and olive oil being the only items that do not contain vitamins, That is a distinct ad- vantage in itself over the usual Ameri~ can dietary, in which meat, bread an tea or coffee and sweets are so large a part. ‘The common American dietary ‘provides 12 per cent of protective foods; the dietary outlined 70 per cent. The new schedule includes a com- paratively large ration of fruits and vegetables. Finally, this sensible way of eatin; is the only cut-and-dried diet I woul recommend to any one who is over- weight and wishes to reduce in a safe and sane way. ful and yet inspiring answer when he says to you, Unkle Benny, did you al- ways keep your mind on your home- werk shut your ears to the sounds of revelry issuing from the thawtless throats of boys who were not unkles?
