Sure Way to Get Girls—if 'you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. It doesn’t do much good to try to comb or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it; then you destroy it en- tirely get about four ounces of ordinary uid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will com- dissolve and entirely destroy | nature of the trouble and prompt ap- ic | several children and who is past her ture as ever. Here and there one sees a skirt with ruffles or flounces, but of net or lace or other transparent ma- terial that reveals the simple straight line of the foundation beneath. A reader has written for advice about renovating a last season’s satin dress. She wants a fuller skirt and suggests flounces of net as a solution to her problem. The idea is a good one if she keeps the general line of the dress straight and simple. The sketch shows a new evening dress made with circular flounces that may be used as a model in renovating this last season's pink satin. Buy net to match the satin as nearly as possible. Cut the circular flounces and apply them to the foundation as shown in the sketch. PERSONAL HEALTH ERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY.'M. D. The nature and cause of cancer | still unknown and therefore no spe-| cific cure is known and the best means of prevention for any individ- | ual is a matter of the opinion of his/ physician | Probably more than one disease is covered by the term “cancer.” Physi- cians Tecognize at least three distinct types of malignancy, first carcinoma. the common internal organ cancer of persons of mature age; second, epithe- lioma, the ‘amiliar surface or skin cancer of elderly versons; third, sar- coma, the most rapidly developing and most’ quickly fatal type of cancer of bone, gland or flesh of persons of any age, even children. To the best of our present knowl- edge, no type of cancer is contagious, infectious or communicable in any way, except by direct inoculation. Ordi- nary soap and water personal cleanli- ness is ample precaution for anybody to take in handling, living with or| nursing a cancer patient. Most students of cancer agree that cancer is not hereditary, but some students are inclined to think certain individuals are born with a deficiency of whatever it may be that keeps most of us immune. Not that one is more likely to have cancer if one's parent or grandparent had 1t. That certainly is not_so. Cancer is so common that it is rather unusual for more than two generations of any family to escape it altogether. The wise man or woman, when con- fronted with any suspicion or possibil- ity of cancer, applies at once to his or her physician for examination and ad- vice.

My Neighbor Says: When you have potatoes left over from a meal do not peel, as a cold potato keeps better with the jacket on. If peeled it dries on the outside and must be trim- med before using, and that is wasteful. Also an economical way to prepare mashed potatoes is to boil them in their jackets, peel. and then mash. To remove tea and coffee stains, stretch the stained place over a bowl and pour boiling water through the stain. To re- move fruit stains put a layer of salt on the stain as soon as made and treat with boiling water the same as for tea stains. If there aren’t enough flowers to fill the vase without looking straggly, put a few corks in the water. They have a tendency to hold up the flowers and keep them in place. The shabby appearance of old umbrellas may be greatly di- minished by sponging with a cold solution of rong tea. The color will be ved wonderfully. (Copyright, 1932.)

ATS are thrifty folks. See how canny they s about foisting | their whole family upon you; how set and determined to use your best closet for a nursery, as if conferring a favor upon you, and never satisfied with a small family. De- spite all this, when a cat’s babies come it breaks your heart to take them away from her. She takes their loss lightly or deeply, according to the depth of her nature. If she is grieved. she adopts at sight a chicken, puppy or man to lavish her affection. Her conversation is by way of purr- ing and she expresses her emotions by the movement of her body. If you | scmd her she will listen. droop her tail | and slink away. If angry, she will hunch her back high, slash her tail| back and forth and spit at you in no ladylike manner, If frightened, she hisses, her eyes glare an stands on end, as if she has s apparition. If she is hurt, she screams, and she has a war cry that would put | an Indian to shame. Her love song is so agonizing that it has called down wrath and n es on her head. Her sight is best at night. The re- | flecting surface enables b to use the | dim light by reflection, and this gives the strange green glare to the eye. All cats have this type of eve. In the d time the pupil is & narrow up-and- | down slit. When the cat is greatly ex- | cited the pupil nearly covers the whole eve. The iris of the eye is usually vel- low, but in Kittens it is blue or green. Her ears are set on either side of the head, like two hollow cones. They are filled with sensitive hairs, and she can move her ears to aid in catching a sound. Her nose is moist and her sense The cat’s whi most _impor- tant to her. They are 25 to 30 long hairs arranged in four lines above and on each side of the mouth and are corinected with sensitive nerves. With- out their aid the cat is sorely handi- capped Her fur is soft and thick. It is very sensitive, as vou may find by trying to rub it the wrong way. The teeth are especially shaped and arranged for her to earn her own living. The very small | incisors of the upper and lower jaw scrape the meat from the bone. The large tusks, or canines, on each jaw are sharped and hooked, as they are used to seize the prey and also to carry it. There is a space behind these teeth. so | that they pass freely past each other. The mouth opens at right angles and enables the owner to get a better grip on her prey. The molars are four on each side above and three on each side below. Their function is to grind the meat into small pieces before it is swal- lowed. The tongue is covered with backward suction-like protuberances which rasp the juices from the meat. ‘The upper legs are provided with strong muscles for leaping. the toes are ell padded and each toe is finished with a sharp claw, which is sheathed when walking. Great attention is paid to the toilet and a paw is used for the washcloth, which is freshened well before it is used again. ‘The kittens are chastised by being given a sharp cuff on the side of the head. They are early taught to stalk their prey, in spite of the fact they are well fed and overweight Cats never seem to become truly civ- ilized and at any moment will revert to their savage ways. Birds are an un- ending temptation, and the only way to cure them of this habit is to sprinkle the caught bird with red pepper and return it to its slayer. One experience is often enough. The first word that every cat learns to know and understand is “Scat!” (Copyright. 1932.) Want? D. €., MONDAY, Tiemgont Love Worth While N their courting days young people ask each other: “Do you love me madly, wildly, passionately, romantically? Do you love me with a love that will never die? Do you love me with all your heart and soul?” It never occurs to them to ask: “Do you love me intelligently? Do you love me with your mind? Do you love me with your common sense?” Yet intelligent love is the only love that brings any peace and happiness with it. to its recipient. It is the only love that is a blessing and not a curse And it is the only love that lasts. To begin with, the man and woman who love intelligently have used some discretion in what they set their affections upon. They are not enamored of a beautiful face or an athletic figure that has nothing behind it any more than a pretty picture of which they will be sure to weary in time Nor are they swept off their feet by the thin veneer of the surface attraction of an agreeable personality which is apt to crack in the arid atmosphere of domesticity. On the contrary, those who love intelligently use their brains as well as their hearts. They know why they love and what qualities in a man or woman appeal to them. They love not only youth and beauty in women and men, but the things that stay when youth and beauty have fled. Intelligence, wit, charm, sweetness, sympathy and understanding make men and women' eternally interesting to each other. T is lack of intelligence in love that precipitates the domestic tragedies, the divorces and the crimes that make marriage one of the most dangerous enterprises upon which one can embark. The man and woman who love intelligently know that there are many varieties of affection and that one does not interfere with the other. They know that the love we give our parents and our families and that which we give our mates are no more the same kind of affection than ice cream is Toast beef. They know that a man can admire a pretty girl and still think his homely Maria the greatest woman in the world. I)EOPLE who love intelligently do not make the mistake of thinking that love is some mysteriously indestructible thing that nothing they can do will hurt and that once a man or a woman cares for you he or she is bound to go on adoring you to the end of the chapter because they can't help themselves. Far fgom it. Those who love wisely know that if ve cherish it as you would a fragile flower. it and if you trample over can be choked to death for tyranny. That it can per it perpetual fault-finding.

EARS ago,. before aviation be- came so popular, Pgavo Nurmi was nicknamed “the Flying Finn.” He did not use an air- plane, but he used his legs; and his fame spread far and wide. In short distance runs, Nurmi was not so good as the Canadian athlete, | Coaffee, or the American, Paddock: but in long runs he set records which others could not equal. He ran a mile in four minutes ten and two-fifth seconds back in 1923, and the next year he ran five miles in twenty-four minutes six and one-fifth seconds. Nurmi still is a great runnner, but other Finns are pressing him for honors in long-distance running. Nurmi’s home, in the north of Europe is the Republic of Finland, a land larger than Great Britain, but smaller than France. In 1930 I paid a visit to its capital city, Helsingfors. Finland is on the border of Russia but its people are not related to the Russians. Neither are they related to the Swedes who live just across tie Baltic Sea. They are round-headed folk, rather tall and strong. Long ago their ancestors lived in Asia More than helf of all the land in Pinland is forest. Pine and spruce trees are the most common, but there are also birch, alder, ash and oek tr: Apple trees planted in Finland borne fruit in the southern part, not in the northern part In the Finnish forest live bears wolves, foxes and elks.

An excellent way to induce a child to save is to get him interested in a hobby Girls will save to clothe their dolls Some parents might object 1o the p ciple of saving to spend. The fact however, that a child who learns to b come thrifty for a reason retains his habits of thrift when his reasons are more lasting ones. In encouraging a child to save ac- cumulation of money is not as impor- tant as saving jtself. Of course, the age of the child is a vital factor. A young girl at work may be induced to save by hinting or enumerating the costs of living with her fairy prince spouse in the offing. A youth may be encouraged to save so that he may realize his business schemes, or satisty his wanderlust, or make love's young dream come true. g No matter how hopeless the case may be. or seem to be, every child has some sensitive spot which, properly touched, will be a means of leading him to save.
