For Summer Comfort j ; A Gool, Glean Scalp
By Mrs. Christine Frederick
The Distinguished Authority
T is human nature to wait until
T
I - the last, moment, but it is the
" - forehanded housekeeper who
will get the most comfort out of
the Summer season. For instance,
it is difficult to think of the fly
nuisance when we are still wearing
our Winter furs, but it will not be
surprising to see Mrs. Fly the first
-warm day, since "he has been smart
enough to Me asleep all Winter in
.some unnoticed corner. And
presto! soe will lay a few thou
sand eggs before, many a housewife
la prepared tor ner.
dcrreulng the -home adequately
snouia oe- done well in advance of
actual Summer, if the home is a
permanent one. nothing is a wiser
Investment than made-to-flt screens
covering the entire window. This
.'will allow ventilation at the top of
the room, where it is most neces
sary, and will not soil the curtains
so much as open screens on the
lower sash.
If wire or copper netting is too
expensive, then fine black mesh
cotton netting, uch an mav be
bought in a ten-yard roll, will do.
especially in a rented house. Cover
the entire outside of the window,
making a flrta edge and fastening
with double-headed tacks.
The ' purchase pf good disinfee
tants is another needful step. No
home should be without ample sup.
jvfles of chloride of lime, some farm
pf carbolic and kerosene? Use a
strong and very hot solution . of
washing soda in all tjie" sinks, set
tub drains, etc.. before the' advent
of warm weather. Pour a quantity
of kerosene into all outside, drains,
outhouses, cesspools, etc ., -- "
An excellent method of disinfect
ing the garbage pail or metaj trash
basket is to first empty it, then let.
outdoors in a safe place and pour
in or over it a quart of-kerosene.
By pitting fire to this such con
tainers are quickly cleansed.
Often the toilet bowl becomes ah?
sightly with stalD8, which the
housekeeper finds difficult to "re
move. The best treatment for
these is muriatic acid, which, fiow
ever, must be handled very care
fully, as it la a poiaon and difficult
to us. .
Purchase a pint or half pint.
Make a swab by winding cotton
cloth tightly on the end of a stick
or metal rod, fastening the swab
on with strands of picture or other
wire.' Use gloves on the hands to
avoid all danger and work "at
arm's length." Pour a small quan-
Tested
Turnip, Radish and Beet
Greens.
PICK over and wash the greens
carefully. Cook in a little salt
ed jvater until tender, then drain,
reserving the liquor for cream
soups. Chop and season to taste
with salt, pepper and butter.
Dandelion . Greens with Potato
. Balls.
WITH a French potato cutter
shape as many balls as de
sired. Cook them in a little boiling
salted water, taking care not to
cook them until they falf to pieces.
, Drain well and season with butter
and paprika. Arrange the balls In
.a nest of finely chopped and well
seasoned dandelion greens.
Onion Tops.
CUT Into small pieces well
washed onion tops and cook
gently In salted water until tender.
Season to taste with salt, pepper
, and butter or bacon fat. The young
onions are sometimes cooked with
the tops and served with a cream
sauce. The young onion, tops are
i sometimes fried in bacon or ham
fat. This is a favorite dish in. some
of the southeastern States.
Lettuce with Ham or Bacon.
WASH the outside leaves of let
tuce carefully, removing all
dead or withered leaves. Blanch
in boiling water, drain weU and set
on back of stove. Fry a little finely
chopped ham or baconr drain off
and measure fat. Mix 4 table
spoons of thefat with table
spoons mild vinegar. Add a little
paprika. 3 or 4 drops of Worcester
shire sauce- and a few grains of
salt. Add to the meat and pour
.over lettuce.
Cowslip and Cottage Cheese

GOOK the large, smooth, dark
green leaves1 in boiling salted
water tin til tender, reserving a few
of the choice leaves and the blos

tlty of the acid Into an old pan and
lay the swab 't. this until it is sat
urated. Have the toilet bowl en
tirely emptied, even without water.
Now take the swab and thoroughly
push it around over the suriace of
the bowl., using more acid if neces
sary, until every particle of stain
is removed. Finally flush the toilet
clean, and be sure to lay away the
acid out of the children's reach.
Muriatic acid makes a fume or
gas as it is poured from the bottle,
as well as a strong odor. This Is
not dangerous, but should not be
Inhaled or allowed in contact with
the eyes. But with care the 'task
can be accomplished in & Tery few
minutes without any risk whatever.
Another 'piece of home equip-
ment which must not be forgotten
in the "Spring cleaning is the re
frigerator, in some nomes this
may not have been used all Winter. .
But in any case, take some half
day to overhaul this important ar
ticle upon whose cleanliness family
health depends.
Open up the Icechest. take out
the gratings, and "scour them with
hot water and white soap, to which
la added a tablespoon xef washing
aoda. Remove every dish ef food '
, and scrub the walla of the food
compartment with the Same soluv
tlon. rinsing with clean water. . , ,
Pall out the drain pipe which .
takes the melted tee water from the
upper compartment and hold it -under
the hpt water faucet te flush -it
thoroughly. In many refriger
ator the -lower drain from the bot
tom of the box to the house drain
may also he removed. Again, there
is (ae floor pan covering the drain, -which
all too often becomes stopped
and foul smelling. This also should
be flushed with even a stronger hot
soda-water solution.
Allow the portable parts, to dry
in the Sun and the box to become
cold before refilling with fee and
food. .
Since, as we well know, insects
begin to germinate at the first
touch of warm weather, the house .
keeper will take advance precau
tions against such pests, potting
away woollen clothing' In time and
making liberal use of tar and cam
phor paper, whicn will save many
holes and wasted clothing later.
Any bureau drawer may be made

lining the bottom and sides with
flexible tar-impregnated paper. Fill
with clean woollen clothing and

Even if we must have these things
in Winter (and. why, indeed, mast
re have them then f ), surely we
can lay them away at the beginning
of the Summer- season, to the end
that the woman in the home will
have more time for health, for com
radeship with her family, for de
voting time to civic and educa
tional causes.
; Certainly there can be no true
freedom for woman while she is
still so tied down to a load of de
tail over really unnecessary cares.
The last, but by no means least,
important step toward Summer
comfort is the simplification of
bouse furnishings in every point.

The Mtt't P'rv?s
CONTRARY to the usual belief
of most people, the hair
should be shampooed much
more frequently than it is to keep
it clean and free from dust. There
are exceptions to this, of course,
but very -few women really keep
their hair as clean as it should be.
Your two watchwords should be
"cool" and "clean" If yon expect
to have or keep & fine head of hair.
If the scalp is feverish, then try
putting a bag of cracked ice on the
head, for a few minutes. It will
lower the temperature almost im
mediately. When the dust from the hair sails
the fingers and brush it is time for.
a shampoo, even thongh you only
washed, your hair last week. If
you are observant you will notice
that your hair will fill out while
It is unclean.
Also, you will observe that an
itching scalp precedes almost im
mediately the falling out of the'
hair. With these object lessons in
cleanliness, surely you can resolve
to be vigilant. Spare the shampoo
and spoil the hair. V
A good shampoo, especially for
an itching scalp, contains, besides
the. usual borax for softening the .
water and tJhm . caetile soap for .
cleansing the hair, ths ie:
Whites of two eggs, 1uice of two
lemons. . Apply by- rubbing the
whites of the. eggs thoroughly Into
the scalp with the tips o the fin
gers. After this application mois
ten the scalp thoroughly with tbe
lemon Juice diluted in one quart or
copi water. -
For the usual shampoo under or
dinary circumstances the essen
tials are:
Warn) water, 2 quarts; castile
soap (shaven), cake; borax. 1
teaspeonful.
I have even beard women say:
l washed my hair yesterday, and ;
to-day it is as bad as ever.' If that
is true. It is your own fault. You
could not have given It a thorough
shampoo. For a thorough shampoo
especial care and nicety are a n
cAsslty, ,
First prepare the water for your
shampoo by pouring' into the sta
tionary wasbtttcd, or portable
washbowl or basin, the soap shav
ings. Over these pour a quart of
hot water, with the bands or a
long-bandied spoon stir until the
soap has dissolved; and the sub-
stance has become mere lather, In
this way, go over the scalp several
times, until it tingles under your
very touch, and the skin is loosened
Beauty Question
I AM terribly, unhappy because
my hinds are always so red
and chapped looking. What can
I do for them? Y.
Perhaps there is something In
the water or the soap you are using
which causes the redness. Procure
a soap that is more mild in action
and then every day use a little of
the following on your hands:
Elnk calamine drams?
Zinc oxide

Glycerine .
Phenol ....

'This condition may be due to
several causes, such as poor cir

stimulating, or high blood pressure.

MY upper-arm Is mucb too fat
in proportion to the rest of
my body. How can I reduce It?
MAY.
Hold the arms out at the side
on a level with the shoulders. Now
clench your hands tightly and
stiffen all the muscles of your
whole arm. Without bending your
elbow or relaxing the muscles turn
the clenched hand forward and
backward to form a complete circle.
Do this many times a day and as
rapidly as you can. ; ;
I

brows shaped in a beauty

have' to be pulled but regularly
once a month to keep them

this would prove injurious to my,
eyes 'CAROLINE.
. Candidly, I think I you wonld be
much better off If you wonld allow
your .eyebrows to. .remain" in the
shape nature Intended. The treat
ment may not prove injurious to'
the eyes themselves, but It will
undoubtedly stimulate. ; your eye
brows to a very -bushy growth.

This ought to kill the bair bulbs
and thus prevent the bairs from

from the scalp beneath.. When a
fin glow convinces yon that -the
task is well done, then attack your
bair.
Dip your hands into the lather
and taking the hair between them
wash it thoroughly but carefully
with a light touch, as you would a
fine handkerchief. ' When this has'
"been thoroughly done, empty the
bowl and wash the -hair through a '
second water, or even a third, it
necessary.
You will know that the bair Is
well washed if, to use the hair
dresser's expression, the "water
runs clear." If the water Is. dark,
showing that the lather has net
thoroughly removed all the dust
and dirt, then apply more lather. -Then
wash several times afterward'
in clear water.
The rinsing Is best done with a
spray, and it should be continued
until the water pouring off the bair
is as clean as when it flows from
Che hydrant The clearness, of the
rinsing water is the only criterion'
of whether the hair is clean. The
rinsing water should be gradually
cooled, but it should never be cold. 1
It is my opinion that cold water Is
too severe a shock to the scalp.
Dry the hair as Carefully as you
r have washed it. Never dry with a
hot-air tunnel or at a radiator or
a fireplace or at a stove. The in
tense heat dries all the natural oil
out of it and makes the hair brittle.
A good, brisk toweling is always
available. If you haven't time to
dry your bair with towels alone,
then wait until you have the time.
If you can sun-dry your hair af
ter washing It, so much the better.
Seated at an open window, shake
the moisture eut of the hair, and
as it slowly dries massage the scalp,
with the finger. The process of
drying will be aided and neuralgia
prevented by a vigorous massage of
the scalp.
If your hairneeds a tonic then
try this; Oil of mace, 2 grams;
essence of rosemary, (to grams; oil
of sweet almonds, BO grams. This
is excellent for hair that is too dry.
For moist, oily hair thai refuses to
conform : to a becoming arrange
ment, I would advise a dry shampoo
or a tonic treatment of this: Earn
ds ologne, 4 ounces) borax, y,
ounce; tincture of cochineal,
eunce.'
In the Summer the hair requires
gt least one shampoo a week, un
less It is extraordinarily dry, but Iv
Winter I think once every two
weeks, or posstbty every three
weeks, wU be often enough. - , :

LOIS.
Well-fed hands are those that -have
at least one daily1 meal ef.
cocoanut OIL Several cold creams v
are good hand foods. So is butter
milk. Glycerine, too, agrees well
with , some bands. ' If It does not
redden and make them too sensi
tive, as you can learn by two or
three applications; it will be a good
band food. Equal parts of glycer
ine and rosewater will make a
milder application if the glycerine
alone is too much of an irritant
MY hair Is in poor condition
and has many split ends.
What causes this and bow can It
be remedied? -B. D. .
You must first look after your
health, because that is the root of
all your hair disorders. Be sure
your diet is made np of nourishing
food; drink n great deal of water
and get plenty of fresh air and ex
ercise every day. r The split ends
of the hair show an unhealthy con
dition where the breaks are found.
Each bair should be clipped Just
above this division. A simple way
to do this Is to twist a bunch of the
hair in the hands until it forms a
rope; then yon can run the scissors
along and clln off the broken ends.
