HOW TO KEEP YOUR HAIR IN GOOD CONDITION.
1
If your hair is shining and healthy looking it does not greatly ́| matter whether it is worn long or short. The condition of the hair is more important than the style of hair-dressing, and in this series it is the quality of the locks wo aim to improve. Style is to personal a thing to be discussed generally.
Valuable Massage.
If you have time to shampoo your hair at home do so; it is always worth while. Very good shampoo powders can be bought to suit all types of hair and the sales women or chemists aro always 'pre- pared to give advice as to the right kind to use.
About two hours before the sun poo dip the tips of the fingers in warm olive oil and rub the scalp with it, moving the skin of the head in a rotary movement: - Keep the hair free from the oil as much as possible, as it is the scalp that benefits from this warm oil treat- ment, not the hair.
An excellent shampoo can be made by filling a basin with hot water and standing in it a stone jar containing pound of soft green soap and half pint of mothy lated spirit. Be careful not to 'stand this mixture near a flame, When it is dissolved and you have Allowed "about two hours for the olive oil to penetrate the scalp, wat the head with hot water, pour a little of the soap mixture over and give the head a good brisk rubbing. Rino off with hot water, then. re- peat the shampoo. When you feel it is thoroughly, cleansed and in- vigorated by rubbing, rimo every particle of soap out, taking two or three waters if necessary. Final- ly, rinse with the juice of a lemon or half a cupful of vinegar, after which jug of tepid water should be poured over. Dry by rubbing with hot towels.

THE VALUE AND DANGERS
OF SUNBURN.
Undoubtedly plenty of sunlight is extremely good for one-apart from actual sunburning; it is important for grawing children in preventing rickets, and for people convalescing from recent illnesses. But rapid unburning following only one or two exposures is probably most valuable in its psychological effect; to 100' oneself every morning looks ing brown in the looking glass gives. one confidence in one's health;" moreover well bronzed skin is not entirely unflattering to its

But these quick sunburns are not without risk both" to one's appear- anco and one's health. Instead of returning brown and handsome one may come homo, blistered, and peeling. To Bevere and sudden burning may result few hours later in severe chilla, high temperature, headache, and vomiting; and I have seen a patient with mild diabetes fall into severe diabetic coma following sun- burn.

Otherwise one should expose oneself at first for only a short period and then. gradually increas the length of ex- posure.
