Men ara mora apt to become bald than women, who ara supplied with a oft pad of muecles and fleah on tha top of tha head which asalsta the hair, and tha conditions of life In tha fair sex ara mora favorable to tha growth ot hair. They do not aubject It to alien rough usage. Tha paat generation have neg lected their opportunities; the present have the chance before them. As soon aa tha first sign of the hair falling off or not growing so vigorously begins to show Itself seek a remedy; go to the best hair specialist you kndw, There ara many whose advice .la not worth much; there ara a few who can be ab solutely trusted. Find tha right one, and follow hie advlee at once and im plicitly. v . Health has a potent influence on tha hair. If you ara In good health, de pend upon It, your hair will be In good condition, for there la tmmensa sym pathy between it and tha conatitutlon; but there-are- local defects which need prompt treatment. Often in tha case of a man or wornnn,jpne let tha hair yield to baldness and tha head becomes a bright and shiny spot where there ara no partings) then - the hair-producing vessels are, a a rule, dried up and no longer acting. - . A 8o much mischief Is done because tew people really understand tha anat omy of tha hair. What ia needed la to exactly ascertain what is wrong. In soma eases electricity ia a great revlrl fler and prompter of health; in others it does not suit the constitution. It la pretty eertain that no. two people re quire the same remedy. .. ... One "don't'f about the hair that can not be repeated too often: After aham- Ala to the effect that, it ia much . better to have tha hair alnged than cut. unless you wish your hair to turn white. It is not a' chemical change which- makes'- the - hair grow gray, but a microbe, called the chromo phage, which dines off - the coloring matter. ., The chromopbage la, hawsvsr, very much affected by heat, and that la why ladlea who -use curling tonga keep the color of their hair much longer than those who do not.: As a man's hair ia, aa a rale, mach too short for the curl ing tonga, singeing the hair Instead Of cutting it la . the obvioua remedy for these chromophagea in hla case. The microbes have every reason to complain of the march of science. Until quite recently they had everything their own way; but now, what with disinfectants and curltng-tongstheir Uvea can' hardly be Worth living. ,..-.. An intereetlng quarter of an hour with -any one of the moat noted hair specialists will teach one much wisdom; but the point la that nature meant everybody to have a good head of hair and keep It aa long aa they live. We lose tha opportunity from want of care, Ignorance and other fauita of our own, and then we blame poor Dame Nature . for what la mainly our ewa-dolng. .- Those who have a ahlntng apot where once hair uaed to grow must now eob mlt to the Inevitable. Taken In time, aa soon aa tha tresses began to fall on tha cranium, the growth might have been promoted and the decay Impeded, for it ia a act that when we allow any of our powers . or organs to fall Into disuse. we are pretty .certain that they will become useless. Nature is eur friend up to a certain point, but neglect her. and aha takes her revenge. , That a PAPERS BEAD FOR CLIPPINGS INETY newspapers a day Is the task of the gins who read for one of tha oldest clipping press bureaua In Mew York, aays an exchange, and they read avery item ta each paper. Including the advertising.
