You may be thirty in years, but if you are bald-headed, gray, or your hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and ugly- looking, people wlllli! surely take you to be_many years older. “When your hair becomes faded, dry, streaked and scragely, when it falls out badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots ehould be immediately vi- talized and properly nourished. The do this quickly, safely and at Httle expense, there is nothing so effective as Parisian sage (liquid form) which you can get at Lee & Osgood Co. and all good drog and toilet counters. It's guarantsed to abofish dandruff— stop scalp itch and falling hair and promote 2 mew growth or money re- funded. It's in great demand by dis- criminating women because it makes the hair so soft, lustrous, easy to ar- range attractively and appear heavier than it really is. A massage with Parisian sage is a real delight—easy to use, not sticky or greasy, and delicately perfumed—an antiseptic liquid free from dangerous ingredients and guaranteed mot to color the hair or ecalp. Iif you want good looking hair and plenty of it be' all means use Parisian sage—a little attention now insures beautiful hair for years to come. MILLONS TAKE ONLY CASCARETS BEST, SAFEST LAXATIVE FOR LIVER AND BOWELS, AND THE PEOPLE KNOW IT. College, Tell; Housewives Till Fall The Housewives’ League held their last meeting of the season at the Buckingham Memorial Wednesday aft- ernoon. Mrs. Edmund W. Perkins, the president, stated that there was no business ' to be discussed and intro- duced Miss Walmsley, who spoke in behalf of the New York Tribune Fresh Air Fund. This is a most interesting work; not an appeal for money, but a chance for real personal service, said the speaker. We can't all take care of wounded soidiers or Belgian babies, but we can, some of us, offer to take a child from the New York tenement districts and give it fresh air and good nutritious food for two weeks. Al these youngsters are vouched for by former trained social workers, who best know the conditions of the con- - | gested parts of New York. Pwo weeks does so much for them and this is a practical way of showing one's pa- triotism and helping towards Ameri- canization. The children arrive and leave on a given date, the Tribune paying all expenses. It is hoped to farm out 6,000 of them, in and around Connecticut, which is a hitherto un- trodden territory. Miss Walmsley, who is making a campaign tour of ten weeks through this part of the countrv, made an earnest plea for these little ones, who, after their two weeks' vacatfon, gain an entirely new viewpoint of the standards of life. We more fortunate ones ought to look at-this as a new way of spreading the teachings of de- mocracy and Americanization—which after ail, means just home. Save the Wheat. Following Miss Walmsley’s address a letter was read from the National Housewives' League, asking all mem- bers of the local league to abstain from using wheat until the next har- vest, since every available ounce was needed for conservation. How to Spend a Dollar. Professor Helen Thompson, instruc- tor of dietetics at Connecticut Colls then gave a most valuable and ini esting talk on how best to spend a dollar for food. A large colored chart constructed to show the exact percentage of expendi- ture in proportion to a given income, was shown: For instance, 25 per cent. would be the proper percentage, a family of five people, with an come of $4,000; 30 per cent. for an in come of less tl the income, relatively amount is spent for food. As cxpenses increase, less and less can be spent on incidentals, or the the things that appeal to us only men- tally. Since food represents largest and most ne ry money ex- penditure, perhaps that the most im- portant question 2t present, to hoi e it is difficult to say just hom much one should spend each housewife knows that for herself. If we are going to divide a dollar to the best ad- THEY’'RE FINE! DON'T STAY BIL- 10US, SICK, HEADACHY OR CONSTIPATED.

There is aigo good value in evaporated eggs, though many peo- ple do not realize that. Margarine, cooking compound and especially Wes- son oil are valuable assets towards preparing palatable and nutritious meals. Another excellent substitute for meat is simple cottage cheese. The Cereal Ration. Twenty cents should buy all’ the grain or cereal for a whole day's ra- tions. In using barley, corn, rye or potato flour, we must understand the matter of gluten, which is the sticky substance that makes dough stiff in wheat flour; the white of an egg sup- plies this sticky deficiency in the wheat substitutes, which, when used proper- ly, will make delicious pie crust and cake. For a long time southern cooks have been making pie crust out of peanut flour, even. ‘We must also remember that it is not only a question of using substitute grains but that many vegetables will serve the same purpose just as well; potatees, for instance. In Place of Sugar. - Honey, molasses, dates and raisins may be used in place of sugar; they are its Dbest possible substitutes. Grapes and all fresh fruits also‘serve the same purpose; the sugar contained in them will be utilized in the body. Bananas, dried peaeches or prunes form a satisfactory substitute. We must consume the proper bulk to satisfy hunger. Nothing causes abnormal hunger in growing children who crave sweets than the lack of ash constitu- ents. Sweets are necessary, a certain amount of them, to everybody. Any family who can get along with- out tea or coffee’ will be just as well off, but cocoe is an actual food and most nutritious. It is well worth while, though few people think of it, to put a little money into spices and flavors; not only the well known va- nilla and nutmeg but summer savory, marjorum, sage and caddamom seeds are good. Is a Serious Question. This matter of food values and con- and we must learn to study it under- standingly.” The real question of sat- isfying food substitutes is an interest- ing problem. Dr. Grahame Lusk of Cornell university, who is an authority on the matter, says that man under- stands everything else, and therefore ught to understand his foed and the calories he needs to keep him healthy and well fed. Dr. Lusk was instrumental in persuadinz the Childs restaurants -to place the approximate amount of food calories against every h on their bills of fare, thereby giving every cusfomer a chance to estimate for himself the proper food values of his meal. f we learn not only what foods we want to buy but also get a general idea of the equivalents of food constituents in terms of energy, we have gone a long way towards nutritious meals. Children do not crave or need meat; the yolks of eggs contain all the iron they need, and there is great food value also in spinach. The chief claim of food is that it has to be thought of three times a day and it is worth while for anyone who hag charge of housekeeping accounts to compare them from month to month and learn practically how to lay out her money in_the best way for her family’s good. Mrs. Perkins stated that on resum- ing their meetings in the early fall it was planned to have a definite subject for each meeting and a program which would interest every member of the Housewives' league. quested each regular attendant to|RECEIVER MERGCER FILES HIS STATEMENT Shows Financial Status of New Lon- don Building Concern. bring at least one person that teh at- tendance may be increased on day.
