1 -t,- DURING the hot days of summer one seems to have a natural longing to dlspenss with arti ficial aids to hair dressing and to appear with the tresses loosely and naturally bound. Indeed, such a course Is Imperative for the well-being of the hair. If It Is to grow It must have no heavy pads to steam. It. It must be al lowed to fall In the roost natural way, and the result will be not only comfort able, but. If properly done, most artistic. Parting the hair does not mean that it must be "flattened" on top and "slicked" down on both , sides, making; the unfortunate one look like a modest and demure maiden of Puritan days. One may be Just as swagger and Just as massively colfled when the hair is parted as with the mast exaggerated pompadour. But the hair will rest and grow thicker If. for a few weeks, mad amo leaves out the "rat" and puffs her halt out only on both aides. It may then be finished with a Grecian knot In back and be quite appropriate with the present fashion. When the hair Is long the braid might be brought up again across the top of the head, part and all; this Is a pretty style and makes the coinurejQgecoming to almost every one. If preferred, there la no reason why the hair should not be pompadoured as usual, but without "ratting" and mar celling. This Is not for the sake of econ omy, but a few weeks' rest from the Irons will give the new hair a start In life. Surely, there could be no better time than summer to show the hair ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS OWING to the great amount of mail received and the limited space given this department. It is absolutely Impossible to answer letters In the Sunday Issue following their receipt. The letters must be answered in turn, and this ofttimes requires three or four weeks. All correspondents who desire an Immediate answer must inclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for a reply. This rule must also be com plied with In regard to personal let ters. Blood Purifier X.

In any case, does not last long, ana it is rax better to appear always plainly colfled than to appear one day "marcelled to the limit" and the next day to greet one's friends with nothing that even re sembles a curl.

Catarrh in the Head GENEVIEVE I have known of many cases where syringing the nose and throat with a solution of salt and warm water has proved beneficial in treatment of catarrh.

Rules f or the Reduction of Flesh TEACHER Avoid all starchy and sweetened food, all cereals, vegetables containing sugar or starch, such as peas, beans, corn, potatoes, etc. Have your bread toasted; sprinkle it with salt Instead of using butter. Milk, I regret to say, if it be pure and good, is fatten ing. Skimmed milk may be drunk. Hot water is an excellent substitute for other liquids. Add a little of the juice of limes or lemons to it, If you choose. Limit your sleeping hours to seven at the outside. No naps. You must rake exercise. If you cannot walk at least five miles a day, go to one of the Institutions where mechanical massage Is given Several of my correspondents Teport ex cellent results from this method of get ting the vigorous exercise they require.

In reducing flesh one fact to recollect is that fat Is car bon. Oxygen destroys or burns out car bon. You must consume the carbon by the oxygen you take through your lungs. The more exercise the more oxy gen and consequent destruction of fat by the ope healthful method of curing obesity. The more starch and sugar you eat, the more carbon to burn away. Here Is a diet list which you may like to follow: MAY TAKE. Fish Nearly all fresh fish, boiled. Meats Lean beef, mutton or lamb, chicken, game (sparingly). Eggs Boiled or poached on toast.

When the Hair is Too Dry NELL In excessive dryness of tha scalp oils are required. When applying them the hair should be parted at fre quent intervals and the preparation rub bed on with the fingertips, taking care that only the scalp is anointed.

A teaspoonful of the potash to a wlneglassful of water Is quite a good domestic measure. Good Remedy for Freckles x. O RDINARY buttermilk Is one of the best cosmetics at this time of year. The lactic acid in the milk has a most beneficial effect on the skin and causes . fading of the little stains due to aecom position of the secretion of the skin which are commonly called freckles, JVeak Eyes IF your eyes are weak and are easily tired when reading and sewing,, It probably means that your general health is below par. A nourishing diet and plenty of sleep, combined with exercise in the open air, are important. Vben you must work, rest your eyes occasion-. ally for a few minutes at a time, and al ways work In a good light In daylight. If possible. For the Good of the Hair DON'T curl or plait a child's hair tightly if you want It to grow long and thick. Many a scanty crop of tresses In later Ufa is due to straining the hair while a child Is growing. . ' Perfumed Soaps IT IS necessary at some time or other to use soap upon the skin, but car should be taken to rinse the lac after ward in clear water. Use only pur soap. The strongly perfumed soaps re, too often, only a mask for the lrripurltlfS thev contain. The colors used In soaps, especially rose and green, are dangerous . to the skin. A pure soap should be of light mastic color and not transparent. Do Not Use Creosote CREOSOTE should never be put ln to a hollow tooth for toothache. It relieves the pain, but in time de stroys the substance of the tooth. Leave creosote to expert use.
