Too many expensive monuments are to be seen in country churchyards, erected to women who were denied labor-saving household equipment. Too many farm girls and boys are in the cities to-day because life in the coun- try was one eternal chore. That's one viewpoint, and here's another. Isn't it worth a whole lot to be able to go to the barn at any hour of the night and flood it with a bright, safe light? Lanterns, hay, and straw are a mighty dangerous combination. Unlss you can connect direct with a reliable municipal electric power plant, it is usually best to have your own private plant. Many of the small- town plants are entirely too small for the service their owners try to get out of them. It is far better to have too much power than not enough, for an overworked plant is a short-lived plant, and for that reason an expen- sive one. It is well to remember that the number of lights almost any plant is supposed to supply is based on 20-watt bulbs, and that in many places about the house and barn a 20-watt light is not strong enough. For halls, bed- rooms, closets, and porches the 25- wntt light is sufficient, while for the Let your hair tell you how you are, Do you know it keeps in close touch with your general health and reflects it unerringly ? If your stomach is out of order, if your liver is not working right, if your nerves are at the strain- ing point, take it from me, your hair will tell the tale. If you want to keep looking your best, watch out for your hair. It al- ways needs care, no matter what sort of hair you have healthy, dry, or oily. There is just one general rule that can be applied to all hair, no mat- ter what its condition: keep it clean. Shampoo it often and brush it more often. If your hair is normal, sham- poo it every three weeks. Oily hair needs a shampoo every ten days; starved, dry hair can get along with a washing once a month that is, if it's nourished well betweentimes. When shampooing, remember to rinse many times. Warm water is best for this purpose, as it keeps the hair soft. Cold water makes it harsh. For rhampooing the hair, there are many preparations that are decidedly worth using. The shampoo soaps are specially convenient, and those with pine tar as their principal ingredients are cleansing and have many tonic properties. Tliey will remove from the scalp all waste material and dand- ruff scales, and they will so act on the gland cells that they give a new, beautiful gloss to the hnir. Then there is the shampoo sonp with olive oil as its base, which is specially good for dry hair, and the regular standby, castile soap, the! cleansing qualities of which we all know about. As for the tonic, there seems to be one to help every head of hair, your hair is oily, if it's filled with dandruff, if it's poorly nourished; if it's faded and tired-looking, you can get a special tonic for your special need. But let me whisper that half the good result of the tonic depends upon the way it is applied. It is the massage that brings results, for this rubbing stimulates the scalp, and in A Free Picture Show. On morning little Willie was tell- ing his mother and hto Httlo sister Dora about a wonderful dream he had dreamt the night before.
